Reward, Lounge with free bar, pipe and slippers!!
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
I frequent the 'lounge area' within your community for a while now and have enticed many arguments with my burst of political outrage and ideologies without even a sniff of an 8 year old malt to make my lurid tongue more liquid with blue content, which in turn would bring in many more members. I therefore would like to put to you dear Dooyoo a request of a 'free bar, pipe and slippers'; and only then can we Dooyooers can put the world to right.
Thank you for enriching my experience on Dooyoo's online community. Yes, many of the members here really can write a great yarn, and sometimes yawn. I'm including myself of course as the brain tires somewhat halfway through a 150 word premium write-up, and then my American monkey takes over to usually a write-up consisting of words that touch on the dizzy '4' figure count. For some of you that will be an experience yet to come, or for others a milestone too far; not that size of write-up matters, but quality certainly does for avid readers who like me require to be creatively stimulated. - Some members here feel that size or quality doesn't matter and the means are to fire out as many 200 worded blank efforts as possible. I'm glad to see Dooyoo has capped a '5' daily rate on new members; too protect the rest of the Dooyoo community from the churner disease. - I'm not claiming that no-one can draft up decent efforts of up to '5' a day, who've obviously overdosed on caffeine, but rewards, well crown write-ups have to be of a worthy performance.
And the reward goes to......
The reward system for the online community is precariously 'hit or miss' - Rewards are not divided up into particular specialist areas during a certain time period. The Dooyoo Lounge has suffered greatly due to neglect as rewards are wafted towards electrical or household white goods. The other day I found Andrew Mack who was lost under several cushions along with 16 pence worth of coppers. He's been a sleep for a while and he resided in the 'Lounge' and told me that topics that he loved had been notably overseen by the Dooyoo chiefs, as an avid lounger he proceeded to down his stale Tesco Lager, which he didn't review because it's brain numbing and started to count his expired miles fund for the ninetieth time. Mack is a big thinker, he has opinions and his visionary approach is lost on today's poor avant-garde boiler room guards. - Then again, I was pleasantly surprised when young master pen writer 'Mr Kemp' reduced us to tears about 'online love'; recently. - I hadn't a clue what it was about, but his approach and creative touch was plain to see and yes he got his head-gear. I realized I've got head-gear about 24 of them for whenever that fairy-tale moment comes when you sign that dotty, no potty line. - Heart on Sleeve reward goes to DanielKemp.
Rewards should be about content and style combined. The number of repeat crowns to certain members is baffling, it is like viewing the list of Wimbledon Male Single Winners; Federa, Jones, Federa. - Writing is about throwing caution to the wind and bringing in the reader on interest and informative points. Nominations come from members to systematically vote for the same writer consistently. Too many members are doing this, hence the same recipients of head-gear. - A sign of a good writer is to choose a boring subject item and make it come to life in a write-up. The Dooyoo community has many gifted members who do this, but don't know they are. Panning out space in listings of specs is a no go area for me, I can see the flaws straight away. Trust me, listings isn't opinions. Yes have 4 or 5 if it ties in, but don't water-log the piece.
I read a genius piece by 'MissSniff' she is an original. Not a long write-up but full of crazed mayhem and even a bottom-lip trembler, when it comes to the amount of errors. The spirit is there and quite frankly I don't think she knows how good she can be. 'Mad Hatter reward' goes to you Missniff.
I put it to you Dooyoo, it isn't about rewarding what we know is good but what we feel has super potential. -The ear-marked crowned pieces are getting tiring, swap it round a bit. A writer needs a reason to write when it comes to the crunch, and it doesn't come with the copper reward scheme which works well. Get the Dooyoo team themselves vote for a special weekly reward, for new members who don't churn out excrement.
Dooyoo can make even more traffic for members who sift out entertaining pieces with a sublime timing that even David Mitchell would be proud of. When it comes to titles and true creative headlines, JJJ, has relished his talents in composing some momentous headings that are memorable to the core, as was the Marmite write-up that got an avalanche of comments which was worthy of another review in itself. JJJ, gets the 'most interactive reward'
You've probably noticed my mind can evoke some political content, for those of you who don't engage it this type of abuse I would like to say, I'm sorry for the boredom factor, but usually the dialogue is mixed with some quirky content. However, I try to spread light heartedness in a few ways, such as my profile pictures that notoriously are borderline funny. A reward should go to the funniest profile picture; an images states a thousand words, so Mark Twain professed. They make members laugh or not and Mutalisk, does neither; this member has mutilate a horses head, with some trickery from Picasso photo editing suite no doubt. Keep an eye out for this member's profile picture. For comedy factor you get my vote.
For the new kid on the block, Tink-er-bell has impressed me with some concise and thorough write-ups since July 2009. Probably the most improved reviewer of recent with bold statements and extra sensory common-sense. His friendly write-up style makes for a top read and with a surge of head-gear of 9 crowns in six weeks or so, worthy a visit.
You can get much better than a Jake Speed's turn of phrase that leaves you salivating for more, and there is another blossoming talent in BlackSwan he has the vocabulary of a youthful Stephen Fry that does take write-ups to another level, the only matter which has mystified me is his lack of head-gear. Dooyoo team, it's over to you. It isn't about quantity, its true quality, and rewards should be cast to members who embody intellect. Intellect also makes readers ask questions and provoke discussions on controversial subjects, it is captivating reading when done well and thedevilinme, is all of the above and politically minded with an air of grit and boldness, like a beach ball on a football pitch wanting some action.
Loyalty rewards should also be implemented. For members who've gained excess of 500,000 miles should be on a different level of copper reward. It is noticeable that 'new members' get a welcome bonus and so should members who've been loyal to this community, yes, it is apparent members generally do get more reads if they've been a member for a while but not too the level that would give greater incentives. I've myself have changed my outlook in writing as compared to what I published two years ago, my investigations have taken first priority compared to any reward.
The first person I see here on this community stats page is Kingfisher. Her prolific rate quantity has eclipsed 100,000 mark, and she is head and shoulders above the rest of us mere mortals. A life time achievement award goes to her and her fabulous family. I read somewhere, probably here, that reading is knowledge, so she is ultra knowledgeable.
Products is what Dooyoo is about, and the members who take product reviewing into another art-form is the wonderfully scented Karimba, her style is endlessly bouncy and always full of vital information. I can almost smell the scented products as I read them. Thebigc, is the biggest guru in digital camera history surely, his write-ups exemplifies what informative reviews should be. The same goes to Hishyeness, the blueprint of product reviewing.
One of the first pieces that made me start writing on Dooyoo was by a member called 'rocknroll' and his piece on a letter to Mr Bown on 26-01-07. A funny to the point piece of writing that sparked a quip that is in my writings today. A dry sense of humor piece elevating superb power-phrasing and again another worthy read. He gets my most inspirational vote - Not a present writer anymore but going by the number of crowns that were thrown in his direction the Dooyoo team also thought the same. Great minds do think alike sometimes.
What I have enjoyed viewing is the Dooyoo magazine 'Crown of the day'. Dooyoo have actually managed to come up with an unique personal message back to the reward member that is worthy of a good back slap. Recognizing quality where it is due. I've tried of recent to think carefully about nominations. I'm varied whether I tell a member or not and I certainly don't just nominate for the sake of it. I take the reward system more seriously than many of my fellow members and have found the odd revenge rater, usually the ones who comment saying 'I'm not revenge rating'. - Personally, I'm not bothered. There are many good decent members here within the community walls, who are talented and quite honestly I've learn't much from them.
Having been a member for 30 months now, and there has been members who've churned been spurned and then gone; quite a few of them have tried their hand at being a 'milk-maid'. They burnt themselves out literally, or maybe 'literature-ly' is a better term. At times I've smelt the distant pong of burning plastic from far-off keyboards. - I once had a vision of Rowan Atkinson's Barclay Card advert during the late 1990's his phrase of 'smelling the distant camp fires'; but Dooyoo's managed to stamp out that out, and thankfully replaced it with true decent quality that will inevitably help with Google and extra capital in the long term for the community. I know for sure that I have only 9% readership that comes from Dooyoo; so I could state that I've only received about 9% of my literacy worth; then again it isn't always about the rewards, but the enjoyment of writing on platforms within the Dooyoo community with talented writers.
Thank you for reading, its you that makes the Dooyoo world go round.
Summary: Always check behind the sofas for coppers

- 23/10/09 an enjoyable read - and even as a newbie I've already encountered some of the writers you mention - may they all get the recognition they deserve! |

- 22/10/09 You can usually spot the coppers behind the sofa, they have different hats to the firemen. |

- 22/10/09 A fascinating read. I think there is a different technique needed for cafe reviews and product reviews. I enjoy the witty write ups too but I also find factual pieces useful too. |
