anonymili's Profile
As the guide for Software and Internet sections, please feel free to drop me a line if you have any queries about these areas and I'll try my best to help or find out the answer if I don't know myself. I will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible :)
I'm not in the least impressed by people who slag off Guides in their profile - it's not big and it's not clever. I'm quite unlikely to bother reading your reviews if you have such a negative view of a bunch of people who are just helping out Dooyoo with really no additional incentive at all. I'm a Guide (for now) - you berate Guides in general and you're berating me - I have feelings just like anyone else and it aint nice!
REVIEWS
We all have different writing styles and what we do makes us individuals, there is no perfect review and there is no secret formula to write the best review which is going to make EVERYONE happy with the information contained within. For me a review needs to have some details about the product or service as well as your personal opinion of it - if you haven't used it, you can't really write an opinion about what your dad or cousin or neighbour said about it - you have to have experienced it for yourself. By some details, I really don't mean a copy of the technical specs or its exact measurements to the nth mm and what colour the box was it came in, etc!
I'm not keen on reviews with dozens of typos in them. It's 2009 - we all have the ability to proof our own work before publishing it - how seriously will someone who comes looking for information on a product or service take the site if they see reviews written as if a six year old wrote them?
I don't have the time or inclination to read or rate people who write more than a couple of reviews a day. Churning on here just shoves other members' reviews off the new reviews list which I don't think is fair. I do look at people's stats before rating them now and will not read those who seem to be churning and/or publishing consistently poor quality reviews... If it makes no sense to me in everyday English I'll generally report it as abuse.
If you've been rated lower than Useful you should try to read and take on board why it was given and think about how you could improve the review. Just because 99% of the other ratings are VU doesn't mean EVERYONE on the site should rate the same. I really don't know what the issue is with people getting all het up over ratings which are not VU. There ARE 4 ratings buttons on this site for reviews and we should use them as necessary. If every review was supposed to be VU then there would just be one button wouldn't there? No one is perfect, I don't start complaining to the powers that be when I get a U from someone and whether or not I'm a guide, it's still a positive rating. So please think about it from a consumer point of view. If I find 5 reviews on a particular product, I might find 1 of those reviews VU and 4 of them worthy of a U rating or less, it's not a personal slight against the member if that is the rating I feel is fair so please don't take it that way. This applies to whether I'm helping out on Dooyoo as a Guide or not. Contrary to what the rumour mills might think, as Guides we don't get paid and we rarely get thanked either!
Apart from all that, I enjoy being a member here, I hope you do too. Being a Guide doesn't mean I'm special or better than anyone else, if you need some assistance in my category please feel free to drop me a line and I'll respond as soon as I can :)
