The Duke's Profile
If you wish to get in contact, please do not hesitate to drop me a Private Message on any topic. I can also be reached at Opinionators.co.uk where I go by the same username.
http://www.opinionators.co.uk/mainboard/index.php - a message board for those that like review writing, for some friendly chat (about Dooyoo or anything else) with your fellow Dooyoo members and probably the definitive information source for Dooyoo outside of the site itself! It's a bit quiet at the moment, but come along and provoke some discussion and share your knowledge!
Due to the fact that these methods of communication are available, I am afraid that off-topic messages posted on any of my opinions will generally be ignored or, in extreme cases, reported to Dooyoo.
If you see anything out of order or suspicious around the site, please do not hesitate to contact Dooyoo as the behaviour of all members can affect the site and its success. The email address you require is: dooyooTEAM@dooyoo.co.uk
You can also contact any of the guides (listed in the Community Pages) about any aspect of the site.
When rating consumer reviews, I'm specifically looking for your own thoughts, opinions and experiences related to the product or service. A list of specifications or instructions I can find elsewhere on the Internet (and when making a purchasing decision, will already have this information). Pointless stories about your wee family/pet dog/old banger of a car/plasma screen telly are all unwelcome. Ratings are (in my opinion) closely linked to the amount and quality of relevant information, opinion and insight. Too much waffle and padding of useless information can be counter-productive and actually make reviews LESS helpful.
Discussion and Speaker's Corner reviews have to argue their points well and come to a conclusion. Any external sources or figures must be credited. All the usual "isms" - sexism, racism etc. will be marked down and reported to Dooyoo where appropriate.
As the Guide for Software, I try to read and rate ALL the reviews within the Software category. If you have posted a review there and I've yet to read it after a week or so, don't feel awkward about getting in contact.
Please, though, don't PM me asking me to "justify" a rating or for an explanation of how you can make a review VU. Irrespective of how this is worded, I view this as extremely rude and shows little understanding of the peer review system. If I haven't commented, then it's because I don't have anything to say, even if my rating differs from everyone else's. I don't comment for comment's sake.
I'm currently trying to write reviews based on my recent trip to New Zealand. There are about twenty in total and while I've got about four in progress, I hope to post these in order that they applied to my trip.
