I'd worry that would net you unnecessary downvotes... but it may be worth trying.

I agree, I wonder what kind of reception you'd get from that. I'd bet you would get a lot more positive votes and less negative votes if you copy and paste from your spreadsheet to the review with minimal personalization as opposed to linking to a separate page.

Got my first downvote after 1,091 upvotes. Perhaps not everyone appreciates my sense of humor.

A bit of a relief, tbh.

It's easy to speculate, but it would be interesting to know that person's reasoning.

the review was fitting for what it is

f the haters

(assuming i know which review it was)

Gonna assume they were upset at the ratings that were given to the course and missed the joke since it's like a 4.7 or 4.8 rated course on U-Disc with over 150 votes. I think it's hilarious and great content, and understand the rating as a joke. Though to some it could be very misleading by making an outsider believe the course is great (like U-disc does).

 

[Surge5]

Yeah... I can at least understand the "why" of the downvote. You gotta know it's a community joke to be ok with the ratings.

I too was relieved when I got my first downvote. Pressure's off!

8 of the 10 people who downvoted my earliest reviews went on to upvote some of my later ones.

So I guess there's hope that everybody can get better.

Are we "Cubic Zirconias" or "Cubic Zirconians"

 

[HyooMac]

"Zircandans" (fist to chest)

I updated this a couple days ago, but forgot to post. I noticed a lot more total upvotes for everyone this month. A few people lost some downvotes too, which was nice to see.

Not many new uniques going around yet this year.

 

[Moose33]

Not too many, I think I've gotten 2/3 on 8 reviews.

True dat. Although I picked up a few recently.

I wish there was an easy way to count new uniques per recent reviews. Overall I average about 2 uniques per review, but most of those are old. Heck, my first review yielded 23 uniques.

 

[Moose33]

That's about my average as well but tons of those come from a handful of reviews.

Overall I average about 2 uniques per review

Just wait until the unique pool dries up for you... I've done 161 reviews and only have 141 uniques.
