Should we have reviewers?

[MasterDKR]

I was thinking, I just got back to this website to doing more posts and I feel the need to review more websites to help the community more. So I thought why not have a reviewers title/rank. Some people just post like one sentence reviews, or just a couple or words. I don't think that really helps out a lot for the user to make changes to better the website. I did two reviews yesterday and I have to say I wrote a lot, I didn't even realize it but thats not the point of writing a lot, its what I had to say.

Eg. http://www.besthostingforums.com/sho...19&postcount=8
http://www.besthostingforums.com/sho...56&postcount=3

So why not have certain people who have these "reviewer ranks".Just a thought....

lol no. Not a chance will that work even for a day. Just seems useless to have a Reviewer tag. People have their own opinions. What you like I may not. So a review from you may seem useless to me.

Ill give you an example - Mr Happy

He provides some of the best reviews Ive seen, so would he be a coder, or a reviewer? TBH it is just a useless "title" which really isnt needed.

Just a thought guys, but thanks for the inputs. And @JJJ - The way you would know if a review from me or any other person is good, is from how in-depth they wrote. Anyone can say oh "your banner or favicon needs changing", but if you rephrase on what exactly needs changing like "you might want to add some yellow, or a logo to the banner that would show what the name represents" it adds more meaning to the word "review" and not just a statement/phrase that anyone might give.

I read it again. I took it as just having certified reviews do it all the first time.

Reviews are supposed to be friendly advice, you shouldn't do reviews for your own benefit. You came into the shoutbox the other day and asked "Hey guys, what do you think of my review" or something.

[MasterDKR]

Well I wrote that in the shoutbox because I not only do it for friendly advise, but also to improve upon my reviews. Reviewing has nothing to do with gaining some sort of special value out of it from being the reviewer.

If I do good reviews, it makes me feel good about myself and I know I'm helping those aspiring minds to achieve more on their website.

Thanks DeL

Have to say their no need for this rank. 90% of people here use Site Reviews as a means of promoting their site rather than truly looking for advise. You can give someone a detailed review and two weeks later they'll request another having changed nothing as it's so crap a review is their only source of traffic. Genuinely good sites which have put a lot of custom work in rather than just importing a skin get a lot more replies with relevant and considered content and rightly so.

The fact that you pointed out your review in the Shout Box shows you want the rank for personal glory and acceptance rather than truly benefiting the community. If you personally want a good review of your site just PM me the link and I'll give it a real review on the condition that it's not just a five minute imported template job and you have actually customized something.

[MasterDKR]

Well that is true, I've noticed that with one of the reviews I mentioned, he barely changed like one thing.

Well you are true in part for the title, it's just I thought if we were to have some good reviewers, that they should have some sort of acknowledgment of some sort, but it was just a thought.

Thanks for the debate guys, I'll still continue with my reviews now and then.

Yeah that would be interesting and new but I would prefer not.
