Whilst† my posts may not evidence anything nearing proficiency with the english language, I can honestly say that I have no clue what you are saying. The daughditor, on the other hand, assures me that I will never fall foul of your request and can “swear” with a clean conscience.

Honestly I think many of the review systems online pretty much suck the big Orgasmo. Reason being they are set up poorly by people who obviously are completely clueless to organized systems and in their ignorance they allow ignorance.
The best system I had ever seen was on a website called Garageband.com (I haven’t been there in years so I don’t know if they use the same system).
The whole review system was set up with some actual knowledge instead of just tossing up an unmoderated blog or forum.
The way it worked was simple. You reviewed music.You would listen to a randomly picked song (from the genre you picked then after the song was finished you then could review) There were incentives for actually writing real reviews. (like if you posted your own music you could gain ranking etc) It also had a minimum word count so it filtered out the classy one liners like “Dis sux” “Turd in my bumkin”, etc. If you did not meet the minimum word count you could not post. Since many morons can’t form a few sentences that weeded out that kind of review.
But what they also did was allow people to review the reviewers. Or that particular review. (You could even forgo reviewing and select a particular review and give it an extra vote if you agreed with it) This went for or against that reviewer’s rating. The higher your rating and the higher the rating on your review the higher up on the list of reviews you would be. This made it so the top reviews were actually reviews most of the people who reviewed that song agreed with and also the best written reviews (good or bad) that the most people agreed with ended up on top instead of getting lost in the shuffle.
In the end, it was the most brillant review system seen at the time of its creation. Many websites that have come since then have adopted some of those features Garageband.com pioneered.
So in closing its simple to say this. Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.
If internet reviews are horrible ask yourself this. Is the system allowing reviews a good one or is it some cobbled together pile of junk that haphazardly allows all the script kiddies a place to troll for attention while WOW is down for maintenance?
That sounds good, and very similar to “reputation” systems that some sites use.
And it’s like life - some things work well and others don’t, but people will always find a way to abuse most systems. It comes down to the fact that there will always be dickheads with waaaaay too much time on their hands in the population, just as there will also always be talented, caring, passionate, articulate and intelligent ones!
Thank you, sweet pink

As a published writer, you are a performer.
No, I’m not.
You want them to buy the book or view the film.
My publishers do, but I’m not so sure.
Does everyone’s opinion count?
No.
And the sun’s shining here and everything.

One hopes this isn`t off-topicking

If any one else had posted that link it would have been on topic. The problem is that your “on topic” is really "off topic, so an “on topic” post suddenly becomes “off topic”.
Got it?
You`re the, 'upside down-back-to-fronter’, not me.

Either posts are getting edited, or vic-k is mad.
That was easy to figure out.
