So-called unethical reviews: are YOU guilty?

Post by danielwang » Sat Dec 13, 2003 3:11 pm

Questionable review practices?

No, I'm not talking about "arbitrary, non-objective reviews" - the You Know What I Mean type that says "1,1,1... Because it's not MY video!".
That gets your review thrown out, if you don't give a good reason for giving all 1s.

But what I'm speaking of is something equally "questionable", and you can get away with it anytime:

Do any of 10 you 10 Pad 10 Scores 10 in 10 reviews 10 of 10 your 10 own 10 videos 10 ?

No. Why whould I give a crap about padding my scores? I barely ever check the Top 10 list, and then it's only out of curiosity when I see someone bitching about something on it.

Sorry for this mundate post.

But the reason why I posted, is that I game myself a "all 10's" review on one of my entries. And I got flamed for it XD, I said "Everybody does that!".

I don't understand the whole "reveiw your own vid" thing anyway. I didn't upload it so I could do that..I uploaded the video so people could enjoy the vid and/or leave me feedback on it if they so choose too wether or not that feedback be good or bad. While I wouldn't be unhappy if one of my videos made it into the top 10 at some point or the other..it's not a big deal if it doesn't ever make it there either..Frankly...while I'm flattered to get an all 10 reveiw..it makes me uncomfortable as well because I know it isn't that good..every video has flaws..Though I suppose that in the eyes of whomever gave me that score..maybe they thought the video was that great and thought it deserved it..

Wait for it... Wait for it... Wait for it!!!

Hey,

Umm... You're retarded. Anyone who reviews themselves just because they WANT a review is pretty pathetic. It's one thing to pimp and whore your video out for opinion exchanges, it's another to do it yourself. I once found a guy who was making new org accounts just to review his own videos. You are one step below him.

You know what you think of your own video, there for the only reason for writing that out, falsely or otherwise, is to gain a number score which is in all aspects compltely rediculous.

The closest thing I've done to "questionable" would have to be getting my friends from school to review my vids. I haven't done this in over a year, and I told them to be honest, but it was borderline questionable none the less, even though they didn't give all 10s or anything.

DJ_Izumi, do you give your videos 2s when you download them locally?
