dooyoo - Members' Opinions On How to Rate And Comment Reviews

This article won't come with a fatigue warning, nor will it make members flock to my 'heavily charged scripts of opinion' that has caused a few murmurings among certain groups on this community; that obviously was the purpose. - A few enjoy the stances that I frequent the articles with, the liquidity and self conscious scripts, stroke valid ...  Read the complete review

Ok rating and commenting makes up a large proportion of what DooYoo is about, although some people do not always do this fairly. ¸.*´¸.**¨) ¸.**¨)How My Approach Changed (¸.*´ (¸.*´ .*´ ¸¸.*¨¯`*.

In the time since I first started using dooyoo I have developed a finely tuned rating system. I have to admit to a tendancy to over-rate in my early weeks, simply because I found that most reviews were just that bit better than mine and as such I thought them to be worthy of a VU. In refining my own work and reading so many more reviews, if I was ...  Read the complete review

I have been a member of Dooyoo for over four years now, (God is that all?), and have seen a few changes of late which have spurred me to add my two penn'orth to the debate about reading and rating. I've noticed a few people getting hot and bothered about rates. Dooyoo recently posted a piece on the community page about ratings which basically said ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to rating and commenting on a review. The first and most fundamental rule is, one should rate only if they feel they are qualified to do so. This means, if you're reading a review about a product you know little about, it may be best to do some research before rating. For example rating someone's plasma television review ...  Read the complete review

A strange category this one, how do I give anyone advice on how to rate and comment? We all have our own little quirks when it comes to using the site, none of us read or rate in the same way (or that is we shouldn't) so I won't be giving some sort of magic formula to turn us all into rating clones. Perhaps I could start with giving some reasons ...  Read the complete review

This is potentially going to turn into a little bit of a rant , so please forgive me . I write a fair amount of reviews - typically, I'll have a couple of months of binge reviewing, then vanish off for a bit as some new computer game takes hold,then come back and binge review again . Recently, I've noticed something that ...  Read the complete review

I have only just become a member of dooyoo a friend informed me about this site, I still have some teething problems on how it works but I am getting the hang of it. Every review that I read is worth while, while I may not get problems with certain things that I have invested in other people do and it is good to know those problems ...  Read the complete review

Having been a member of this site for some eight years, I do wonder why, after all that time, I'm bothering to write this. The ratings system on all opinion sites seems to be the most divisive element of all and is normally at the heart of nearly every conflict taking place. There's nothing wrong in wanting to write good quality reviews, of ...  Read the complete review

A big part of being an active member of dooyoo is reading and rating other peoples reviews, When rating someone elses reviews i read the review through from start to finish no matter how long or short the review may be, then i read the comments already given on the review and rate it accordingly to how useful i have found the review to ...  Read the complete review

Instead of "How to Rate and Comment" I would prefer "How I Rate and Comment" as I don't feel qualified enough, or bossy enough to tell you what to do. This is a subject I have given a lot of thought to of late. The new payment system has made the site different and has caused me to think again about how I use ...  Read the complete review

I'm getting a bit annoyed with the massive influx of new members at present. It's nothing against any specific new member, some of them are great reviewers even, but the volume is really causing problems at the minute. I wish more new members would take the time to stop and understand what dooyoo is really all about and how they should be ...  Read the complete review

This review runs along the vague lines of "reading and rating", but with the eye to the new(ish) payment structure and resulting change of posting and writing behaviour. Perhaps I should start with a few persistent dooyoo myths. **MYTHS** Myth 1. Churn is bad for dooyoo Likely result: brief ...  Read the complete review

There has always been questions surrounding how to read, rate and comment on other people's reviews on Dooyoo and as a relatively new member these are problems which I have had to tackle head on in order to gain the small amount of success I have had so far. Rating is a problem which begins with how you read a review. It is all well and ...  Read the complete review

When reading a review, it is always important to look at how much information it is actually giving you, because, thats the point of it right? Many people get the idea that the more you right, the better, but thats not always the case. Often, you will get more useful information in 200 words than in 800, because you get people that are ...  Read the complete review

To rate, or not to rate......., or rather "to rate fairly or not to rate fairly"? I think this is one area that dooyoo members, both new and established, are frequently afraid of. Whilst we all understand that the ratings system is there to help consumers evaluate a product, we also, on the whole, are trying to make some ...  Read the complete review

If you are reading this there is a fair chance that you already have your own ideas about how to rate and comment. Here are a few of mine. ~~~Making a comment~~~ Commenting enlivens the process for the writer. It is a good way to give specific feedback. A short comment about your experience can be helpful too.

I am really unsure why rating a review seems such a difficult task for so many. The four options given are pretty straightforward in my book. Its Very Useful, Useful, Somewhat Useful, or Not Useful!. Easy! It seems to me at least, one of the biggest stumbling blocks to fair ratings, is that alot of people don't actually read the ...  Read the complete review

It's actually quite difficult to write a review on how to rate, because everyone finds different things useful, and everyone has their own idea of what they want to see in a review. For example I just rated a review useful, whereas everyone else had rate it somewhat useful, but for me it had everything I needed to know about the ...  Read the complete review

Being in essense a new member and not having really fully grasped the etiquette of rating, I hope my self imposed strategy works for me and other members whom I have read and rate. In the first instance my approach to writing a review is that I, armed with first hand knowledge of the product, am in a position to help and inform others who ...  Read the complete review
