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

When I rate someones review I have to read through it a couple times first and see if it makes sense, they don't necessarily have to have the same opinion on the product as me as long as they back up why they do or don't like it, you can also tell sometimes that people are just trying to get to 150 words as there in the middle of talking about ...

I've read quite a few reviews on this subject from other members of dooyoo and found many to be very helpful. I've been a member of dooyoo for a couple of months and have to say I enjoy reading the reviews others have written about products and services. I always have a look through the newest reviews to see what everyone is writing about and ...

I am not a huge rater and commenter but I do it every now and then in return for ratings people give me. I try to rate honestly and I leave a comment if I feel it's necessary - normally not a criticising one but just a friendly one. However, I think it's important for people to know about critical comments. First of all - ratings. I ...

When I first started using Dooyoo after previously being used to the Ciao website, one of the first things I noticed was the very sensible attitude on Dooyoo towards rating and commenting. On Ciao there was an awful lot of very unfair rating and commenting in my opinion and a lot of it was down to new members sticking together and ...

When someone writes a review they more often than not try their hardest to produce a review they think will help the reader determine whether or not the product/ service will fulfil their needs. Rating and commenting on a review is equally as tough and important, although I have only been on the site for a month as of 19/08/2008 I have already ...

Can I start here by saying that this review is about MY opinions on how best to rate and comment on other members' reviews. I am not saying this is the correct way to do it. I am just expressing my opinions. When I first started writing reviews on this site, I have to admit that I made some mistakes. The biggest mistake I ...

I would start this review by admitting that I do not read each single line of each single review. I am a fast reader and can get a gist of what a review is all about by going in between lines. Some reviews are even too long. My policy when it comes to rating is that as long as the review has added valuable content and information to the topic ...

I am by no means a long standing member of the Dooyoo community nor am I trying to say that I know everything or even anything about how I or others should read rate or comment but I am giving my opinion, think of it what you will. I believe that when writing a review you should try to think of others as well as yourself and what you ...

Opinions on how to rate and comment on Dooyoo I would like to say before I start that this review contains MY opinion of the dooyoo site! Rating Reviews My personal opinion on how to rate a review is very very simple. Simply choose a review that you wish to read. Read it thoroughly and then decide how useful, informative ...

Before I begin this review, I would like to repeat the name of this topic. "Members' Opinions On How to Rate And Comment".. This means what is about to be written here is my opinion, I would appreciate if there wasn't a full discussion on my comments about how much you disagree with me. I get it enough and that is why I have chosen to ...

For me when it comes to rating I like to see common sense applied both to the rating and just as importantly the comment if any that is left. On Dooyoo there are four ratings to leave on a review, three of them have a positive outlook in that they acknowledge that the review itself was helpful in some way or other with varying degrees ...

How to rate and how to comment? There is no book on this subject yet. I like common sense, it should also prevail. As far as rating is concerned, I think it is quite easy. Rating should take into consideration primarily the information on the review, this being a consumer's site. Minor typos and spelling mistakes should be ...

Just a question - why read a review and not bother to rate? If nothing were paid for a NU, then that would sort out the obvious objection.

(Deliberately short bit of writing to simulate debate and not to earn points!)

I think that reviews need to be rated based on the following criteria. 1) How useful was the information provided to you? 2) How much more do you think about the product? In this respect I want to elaborate. There is a level of "common knowledge" for any item. This is what the "general public" knows or should ...

After reading someone's review, you have the ability to rate their review for usefulness as well as comment and even nominate it for a crown if you feel it is of excellence. On many of my reviews, I have had more member readings than ratings. I don't know if this is because your internet messes up and when you click it doesn't really rate their ...

I rate and review as I see fit. All sorts of reviews are written on this site. Short reviews, long reviews and in between reviews. A review in my view should always be rated on merit. Quality review deserves top rating. A very useful review is where user has gone in depth on product usage, opinion and ...

Well, it's been two whole weeks since I signed up for Dooyoo, so I'm obviously an expert now and can comment fully and freely on this. Well, maybe not. But a couple of things have struck me about the rating system as a newbie posting on the site. The first one is the overwhelming niceness of the vast majority of dooyooers ...

Some members on this site seem to be obsessed over trying to impose their own views on how reviews should be rated by other members. It is like there is some higher order of opinion that people should aspire to and the fact that the ratings we award reviews really do make a difference to the lives of others. I happen to think it matters ...

With DooYoo's new mile system now in place, there are more and more reviews being posted on this site. While this isn't necessarily a "bad thing", when people slap up as many reviews as possible just to get 50p per, the quality of those reviews invariably suffer. That's why I thought it was about time for me to give some advice to my ...

When Dooyoo proudly announced that around "80% of members" would make more money under their new mile reward system we didn't realize it would be the 80% new members that joined the day after! Now, either this reckless plan was a stroke of genius by dooyoo to make lazy established members post up more work, whilst also bringing in those ...
