Hi !
I always wondered why buyers reviews seemed so incomplete or useless. While I don't pretend i got a better idea than the current system (which is not used as intended), I do think some people would like to provide a better feedback on their order.
In order to do so, I was thinking of a standardized format published over the forum until a better system is implemented. This would be of course an unofficial tool provided as it is to SR users.
But before that, the purpose of this topic is actually to discuss such a rating system.
What should we rate and how ? How can we display our rating in a compact and standardized format ?
I think such a rating system should be :
- Easy to memorize and read.
- As neutral as possible.
- Only rating what's essential.
I think it's CRUCIAL to rate the packaging too. And reviewing such aspect must be done very carefully since we don't want to give too much details about it. That's why i think a "numbered" grade (I.E. X/5 or X/10) is perfect for this. It gives a hint about the stealthiness of the package while keeping specific details confidential.
Also i really don't get why products are usually not really reviewed... Even if a review is subjective and highly inaccurate, that doesn't mean it's worthless.
The best option would be in my humble opinion, a compact standardized format that can easily be added at the end of your review:
(V-/S-/P-)
V -> Vendor rated out of 10 (Responsiveness, professionalism, reliability)
S -> Stealthiness rated out of 10. How stealth was the package in your opinion ? 10 being an allegedly undetectable package and 0 being a package with "I CONTAIN ILLEGAL STUFF" written on it.
P -> Product quality as advertised out of 10. I know this is hard to rate. A good way to do so would be to grade how close the vendor was to what was advertised. If a product is advertised as low quality and is just like that, then it's cool and a bad grade would be bad for everyone.
Example :
(V-9/S-7/P-9)
Very good vendor ... Quite stealth Package ... Quality as described.
What do you guys think about that ?
