Jul. 26, 2005: Frequent Grievances & Whinges
Why have I been denied a review?
Can I apply for rereview?
You gave me a bad score, you jackass!
I fixed my site! Will you change my score?
Why have I been denied a review?
There are boat loads of reasons I will deny review requests. It's probably not because I'm a bitch and hate you. Here are some reasons I will deny a review request:
- You didn't follow the rules. Guys, there are basically three rules. Come on.
- Your diary layout is a poorly designed self-indulgent overly dramatic piece of crap, AND your entries revolve around your unrequited loves and how much your parents suck. Spare me and the readers of this site.
- You have pretty much zero content, and a very long list of links on your review page.
- You spend a LOT of time trashing review sites that don't give you "good scores." That's the risk you run. If all you have to write about is how much self worth you derive from anonymous online reviewers, you aren't going to get the best review from me, either.
Can I apply for rereview?
At this time, I am not rereviewing websites. This rule does NOT apply to those reviewed on Yet Another, or Fuckin' Ugly.
You gave me a bad score, you jackass!
Yeah... and you asked me for my opinion. Be careful what you wish for. I have no sympathy for people who apply with the sole interest of getting a good "grade." The points are simply so you can see how much each category is weighted. They're pretty equal, actually, but it gives you a better idea of how I think your site measures up overall. I wouldn't necessarily include "points" but I know that the review seems to make more sense if there's a tally or number at the end of it. Since this isn't a competition, and I don't grade comparatively, I don't really see how there can be a "bad" score in the first place. I'm reviewing on what you put out there, how you present it, and what I think you can do to improve. I know, hardcore fruity. Suck it up.
I fixed my site! Will you change my score?
That's awesome! I am beyond the beyond of flattered and delighted that you liked my suggestions and altered your site accordingly. I will not alter my review to reflect a change that took place after my review was written.
