I'm sure this happens alot to ppl here at the org. I know i've heard stories about this with ppl i know, but it had never happened to me before now. I got a all 1's review when a few other ppl had given me much higher scores. Maybe we should have a system in place for ppl to report users or just check for users who's review averages are very low. I mean lets take this user:
User Name: The Idea Factory
Member Since: Friday, March 15, 2002, 7:40 PM
Usefullness: 20.8 with 15 opinions
[average 163.7 of 23212 opinions; standard deviation 296.4 ]
You can see this guy has a very low usefullness rating which means he writes nothing in reviews, which doesn't mean he gives bad reviews, just that he is short. But then we look more into it, checking what the average scores he gave out.
average given for 15 reviews
Original 3.60
Capture 3.93
Sound 4.00
Action 2.87
Lip 1.00
Effects 1.00
Effort 3.00

Ok....so his average is really low. But maybe his short comments are actually usefull and productive? Lets take a look.

Bad They take a GOOD song by Bryan Adams, have it covered by some skanky new techno artists with a more annoying singing voice, and it becomes a musical NIGHTMARE!
General Nice try, I hate DJ Sammy!
Now.....i don't know if he even looked at the video to begin with, just that he can read the video description. But it seems that if he hates a song that much he didn't bother to watch the video in the first place.
Has anyone had any experiences with this user before?
Can I have someone please remove this review from my video. Thanks.
