    [RANT] How to make sure your awards/reviews are totally meaningless

    in Offtopic

    Posted

    stop Giving Out Awards Which Promote The Products And Make Them Sound Super Special, When In Fact If You Look At All Reviews Done At Hh Everyone Gets A Reward/award Just For Participating. Also Stop Assigning Arbitrary Numbers, In The Range Of "8-10 Out Of 10" For Every Product You Review. If Everything Gets A Score Of 8-10, Then Your Ratings Should Range From 1 To 3 Instead Of Being Inflated. Yes, Users Like To See Numbers That Summarize The Result, But Your Rating Is A Disservice Because It Is Artificially Inflating The Perception Of Every Product. If You Insist On Providing Numbers On The Review, Do So In A Manner Such As That Done By Jonnyguru - It Isn't Perfect, But Its The Most Well Executed Approach Out There For Number Based Product Ratings In My Opinion. They At Least Have A Structure To How The Number Is Developed.

     

    I Get The Sense From Comments I've Seen From You And Others There That You Genuinely Have The Best Intentions, But These Two Items Mentioned Above, As Well As The Especially Aggressive Advertising On Your Site, Can Yield An Impression That You Are Pandering To The Manufacturers.

     

    Also, This Latest Article Gets Somewhat Laughable In The Part Where It Addresses What Users Can Expect In Real World Conditions. If You Want To Represent Real World Conditions, You Should Be Running A Main Stream Platform With A Main Stream Cpu. That Means Z77 And 3570/3770k, Not X79 With A 5ghz Ib-e. I Understand The Point You Offered About X79 Removing Bottlenecks, But A 5ghz Ib-e Isn't Real World For Most Your Audience, And Effectively Could Lead To Some Numbers Being Exaggerated Compared To What Users Can Actually Expect. Potential Bottlenecking Can Only Be Shown To Be Relevant With Multi Gpu Setups.

     

    These Are Just Some Basic Suggestions, Without Any Filter, And I'm Trying Not To Pass Judgement To Be Fair To You. I Hope You Don't Take Offense. But As Long As You Continue Doing What You Are Doing, It Puts You On Especially Bad Footing To Write A Piece Like This Most Recent Article. It Looks Bad As Its Ironic Looking From The Outside, Considering How You Do Ratings And Awards.

     

    Ib-e? ;)
