This topic is considered the most debatable on MS! Most of the members want it to be removed, but I’m glad it hasn’t been! This topic can prove to be very useful if used responsibly and not for a notorious purpose. Here is my list of the 5 worst reviewers on MS . I haven’t named anyone specific but mentioned the traits of the worst reviewers. Anyone who has these traits consider yourself in my list!
5. All those who don’t write regularly
Most of the people join this place to improve their writing skills other than RRC-ing of course and knowing about products. But it’s really sad to see that after a few good reviews the interest of most of them declines, the frequency of reviews decreases and then comes a point when they detach themselves from MS! All those who complain about lack of time, give me a break! Stop kidding guys, no matter how busy one is, you can surely contribute at least one review in a week (if you really want to)! Some highly professional people like scientists, doctors etc. and even students preparing for IIT, CAT etc. are writing frequently. If they can do it, anyone surely can! Or has the stoppage of cash incentives turned you off (A question to MS oldies)?
4. All those who can’t tolerate constructive criticism
If you can put up your opinions openly remember that others too can have opinions about your opinion! Be flexible! Listen to everyone’s advice & then do what you think is most appropriate! Don’t start shedding tears or getting red with anger if someone mentions an area in which you can improve! A true friend is that, who points out your negatives rather than the one who flatters you and makes you over-confident! But yeah read the word constructive . If the criticism isn’t that and someone just tries to throw crap at you, don’t tolerate that! One who tolerates crap, is a bigger sinner than the one who is throwing it! .
3. All the Copycats
All those who steal their “reviews” from some other source and try to fool us by referring to it as their original work! Come on guys! Have you degraded so much, that you don’t even have your own opinion? Where has your individuality gone? All such robbers and thieves should be kicked out of MS humiliatingly! Unless, they accept it themselves and promise to improve! If you don’t confess yourself, sooner rather than later someone will know about it surely! I request MS to give a last chance to all such people, before court-marshalling them!
2. All those who give wrong information
At least the copycats provide correct information! These are jerks who provide wrong information about the product and either highly over-rate it (so others also suffer because they are suffering too) or try to misguide the consumer for satisfying their sadistic ego or some other purpose! If your opinion is different from others and you want to express it, I highly appreciate that. But if you yourself know that the information you are providing isn’t accurate and still you do it, then you should be ashamed of yourself! The purpose of this website is to help the consumers. If they start to misdirect each other, the loss is completely ours!
1. All the controversy lovers
The biggest sinner is the one whose purpose of writing is to create a controversy, by hook or crook! I know sometimes the review just becomes controversial even though it wasn’t intended to! But why there are some writers whose all reviews cause a lot of hullabaloo? It can happen with one review, two reviews, three reviews but for heaven’s sake not all! These are those cheap people who misuse their freedom of expression to earn the fame, which they don’t deserve! And the credit goes to all those who give attention to these outrageous creatures by showering their review with praises (we do love irresponsible statements don’t we) or losing our temper and throwing trash at them! Thus, we help them in achieving the purpose they want! To prove these controversial writers a big time failure, kindly stop rating and commenting on their write-ups! Once they don’t receive any response, they will eventually stop this mortifying act!
