Rating other's reviews: on dooyoo and beyond Reviews

I will keep this short and sweet as I am really confused and bewildered about the whole rating system and would like to hear about how you all rate. I see the whole revenge rate issue has been discussed in this category a lot, so I will just add a little note to say that I have been given low rates contradicting all other high rates ...  Read the complete review

**DISCLAIMER** I'm having one of those mornings and a slight frustration has made me write this review....I have tried my hardest not to make this a rant so excuse the exclamation marks if I haven't removed them already.... **Revenge Ratings** I had heard the term revenge ratings on Dooyoo but hadn't really experienced it or ...  Read the complete review

My main suggestion for dooyoo in terms of ratings is a change in the meaning of the rating system with relation to dooyoo miles. I would prefer it if 'Very Useful' ratings scored more miles than the other ratings levels. I think that all of the ratings should score some miles as they all represent that someone has thought enough of your review to ...  Read the complete review

During the nearly 8 years that I've been here on Dooyoo I have read over 5,500 reviews. That may perhaps not sound to you like a very high number of reads. As I say in my Bio, I am not a "serial reader". I read what interests me and nothing else. My apologies if I haven't returned the compliment of your read of a review of mine, ...  Read the complete review

When logging into dooyoo, naturally, products and services that interest me first tend to receive my attention, especially if its something I may be interested in purchasing in the future. Regular contributors, those on my bookmarked list and those who have been kind enough to take the time to read my reviews, I tend to read. For the small ...  Read the complete review

Dooyoo is primarily a consumer review site, but it is also partially a social network site as well as an advertising website. The reviews by members stimulate advertising revenue. The members of Dooyoo make 3p per read when another member reads their review. None of the members as far as I know are employed by Dooyoo. Some of them do it because ...  Read the complete review

I got into 'Come Dine With Me' last night and it reminded me of this place with ratings and comments. For those of you who have never heard of 'Come Dine With Me' it's a food show with 5 contestants. Each contestant hosts a dinner party and the guests privately rate at the end of the night. Last night a woman seemed adamant on rating everyone else ...  Read the complete review

Well, there's a coincidence if ever there was one. This is my 500th review here at dooyoo, and it damn near coincides with my 7th birthday at the site, which I joined way back on the 7th December, 2000. So my 500th little offering really *HAD* to be something dooyoo/opinion site related, now didn't it? So what better than ...  Read the complete review

Rating – Here and beyond. There is a very big difference between review sites as far as ratings are concerned, and to try and examine those differences, let's tell you a little bit about the different sites beforehand. Dooyoo – Primarily serious product reviews, with the occasional smattering of speakers corner which is where ...  Read the complete review

I'll be honest. Getting ratings for my reviews always makes me happy. Hard part is when I have to rate other peoples reviews because it is time consuming. When I have free time I browse the reviews page and read the ones that interest me. On a good day I have read upto 25 reviews. This takes at least 1/2 hour if not more. Some days I don't access ...  Read the complete review

***Introduction*** Ratings: surely the most contentious and yet, for me, the most tedious debate you can get on consumer sites. Still, ratings play their part in the sites’ welfare, not least in ranking reviews in order of quality so that consumers are led to the best ones first (in theory). I’ve been rating opinions for coming up to ...  Read the complete review

I do quite a lot of rating other reviews on dooyoo, and I certainly much enjoy doing it compared to writing reviews, though I do a fair bit of that as well! WHY RATE? Ratings are very useful for the dooyoo community. They not only help readers to quickly pick out the reviews which other users believe will be most influential in ...  Read the complete review

Why should you rate? Dooyoo: Simple,If you write well and nobody rates, your article will never get the respect it deserves. Or make the money. When you check your articles and find out who rated them, don't you look at their articles and rate some of theirs? I do. So does most of the dooyoo community, Just ask ...  Read the complete review
