Frustration with dooyoo

I've been on here long enough to have had enough experiences to qualify for a b*tch. So here are my dooyoo frustrations. Part of it my frustration, some of it is site based, however the vast majority of it is user based. I intend no personal or individual insult and I am fond of (most of) the dooyoo community. If you conform to any of my frustrations, I take it as a difference in interests and in no way hold it against you. Except for speed clickers. You're all scum! (That was a joke) **RATING FRUSTRATION** OVER RATING This is a big one, and in my opinion one of the most important ones because it affects everyone in more ways ...  Read the complete review

First off all let me start off by stating that I love Dooyoo. It has pretty much changed my life for the better. The informative reviews on the site have greatly enhanced my ability to pick the correct products for myself and I have bought everything from books and DVD's to a mobile phone and a laptop based on reading other members reviews. It's allowed me to develop by leaps and bounds as a reviewer (just compare my earlier reviews to my more recent ones) thanks to very useful input from others as well as a thirst that's drove me to improve to contribute to Dooyoo. I've met some great people some of which I stay in frequent contact with, and have branched out to talk ...  Read the complete review

A lot of people who have been reading my reviews lately are probably fed up with my opinions especially when it comes to my criticism of the dooyoo rewards system, rating system, structure, etc... One of my frustrations with dooyoo comes down to the fact that it takes 50,000 miles to be able to cash out your miles for a cheque. You see two weeks ago I hadn't submitted a review in a year and promised myself that I would try and make better use of my time than write reviews on an opinion website. Although its fun to share your opinions with a bunch of strangers on the internet, dooyoo can be time consuming and draining. I have a real life with more important ...  Read the complete review

Most of the time, I really enjoy contributing to Dooyoo - both writing my own reviews and reading those written by other members. There are a number of things which frustrate me, though and Friday afternoon seems as good a time as any to get them off my chest. I promise to try and avoid ranting! 1. Churners ---------------- When Dooyoo switched to its new rewards system a while back, I expressed concern that rewarding posting at a higher value than reading would lead to quantity over quality. I was hoping to be proved wrong, but no sooner did you get 50p for posting reviews and only 1.5p for a review read, there was a flood of uninformative, ...  Read the complete review

Let's make 2010 the year of the Somewhat Useful. Please. I'm asking nicely. I realise I expressed these views in another discussion topic but, if there is one thing that bothers me about dooyoo more than any other thing, it is over generous rating. I can't tell you how many times in the last few days I have seen reviews that had been given Useful or Very Useful ratings but failed to contain even the most basic information about the product. I keep seeing reviews for gadgets, games and accessories for games consoles that most people in my family will never have heard of. These reviews then express a few vague opinions on the product with no ...  Read the complete review
