Review count - Arrrgghhh!!!!

[Li Shenron]

Not only can you, you are encouraged to. REviewing will make you happy. And Happiness is Mandatory. If you have problems or anything that you can't figure out, post in meta or drop me a PM.

Heh, I only wrote one so far, but I put too much effort into it that I haven't been able yet to write a second with a content on par... I suppose not all reviews need to be long as the first I wrote, and maybe I should take it easier.

Furthermore, someone suggested that a reviewer should spread votes a bit, and not give "5" to every book he reviews. But my problem is that I only own myself very good books I'm very picky about spending my few $ on new books, and so I end up buying stuff only when I already heard around that it is indeed a pretty good book. If I review all my books honestly, I will end up with mostly "5s", a bunch of "4s" and maybe a couple votes below (two 3.0 splatbooks), but at the same it's of course the better books of mine that makes me want to write more reviews, not the worse ones...

What should I do? Do you think I should better stretch my vote downwards? Or not?

No, you shouldn't - not if you don't feel that way about the books that you review.

But, the consequences are that it does stretch your credibility in reviews somewhat.

Don't worry about giving every book you have a high rating if you truely believe it deserves that. AS long as the reviews are good and explain why you think its that damn good then there shouldn't be the big of problem. Also, remember to mention something bad about the book. Even fives have problem areas.

all the reviews i did were erased. i put alot of effort into them. cited page numbers. references to other material. and so forth.

after they were erased. i lost respect for the crew behind the reviews.

 

[Crothian]

who erased them and why? That must have been a few years ago

I'm sure this was completely accidental. Nonetheless it's sad, thinking how much it took me to write only one

When did this occur? Several reviews where lost during transfer when the system couldn't properly match them to products. They're still on the server though and can be hunted up with some difficulty.
