Suggestion Box

Greets,

Thanks for your thoughts on this... Unfortunately, I don't really like the idea of giving reviews just for the competition of it without people being to see those reviews.

We don't want people giving "I love it!" little reviews to 200 items the last few days of the month just to get a badge. I also don't really think great reviewers could compete in a "closed" environment like the "active" list. And wouldn't it be really discouraging for those people who spend a lot of time on their reviews to help an author to get blown by in a few minutes by someone who wasn't sincere about reviewing.... No one could check to see why because the reviews could all be private.

You, for one, spend a lot of time on your great reviews. Since the active reviewer list includes "any" reviews... someone out for the badge could just fly by simply by giving useless feedback to another author. This can't happen with the "Credited Reviewers" list because all those reviews are public and we can see what people do -- granted, not all the reviews or reviewers in the public arena are great... there is at least a bit of accountability.

You can definitely still do the goal thing though -- the listing is there for a little "friendly" competition without the reward to encourage anyone to cheat for badge. Plus, we have all the great review incentives, like the Mixer and the Daily Rewards.

Best wishes,
~~SM
