Did You Know – What is My Review Quality Score?

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Review Fuse is a meritocracy where those who give the highest quality peer critiques receive the highest quality critiques. You can probably guess the quality of critiques lousy reviewers receive.

The quality of the critiques you provide is the basis of your Review Quality Score. Review Quality scores range from 1 to 5, where 1 equals a terrible reviewer and 5 equals an amazing reviewer. You can find your approximate Review Quality Score on the My Account page under the “How am I doing?” section, as shown below.

If your Review Quality Score is high, congratulations, keep up the good work. If you score it low then repent and start giving higher quality critiques, this will improve your score and the quality of the critiques you receive. If you want to remove a blemishe from your review record then go to the My Account page, clicking the View icon under the “Latest Reviews Given” section, and choose to “redo” a low quality review you gave.

Our goal is to get everyone high quality critiques, but we really can only help those who help themselves. Find out more about how Review Fuse works.

Dealing with a Lousy Reviewer

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

We had over 1,200 critiques performed last month, about 50 of these critiques where lousy. How should the unfortunate recipients of a rude or hasty feedback react? They could curse the universe, but that really won’t help. They can curse me for helping conceive the idea of Review Fuse, but with the host of curses already trying to do me in their curse will have to wait its turn. Or they could give the reviewer a low feedback score, tell them why they did so, and move on to the next critique.

WHAT? No retaliation! No counterstrike! No retribution!

We are trying to build a community where we help each other improve. Think neighbors not enemies. Helping the bozo who tried to assault your honor understand why they stink, helps cleanse the community of their foul stench. Don’t augment the stench and waste your time by striking back. If you get rude feedback, in any form, then pity the fool who spent part of their life trying unsuccessfully to attack you and move to the next review.
