Can we rate each other's dooyoo reviews?

timefortea

I've been lurking around MSE as I need some cash (don't we all?) and followed a link to dooyoo. I've written a few reviews, and was just wondering whether there's anything stopping us from sharing our usernames on there and reading each other's reviews, earning a little bit of extra cash in the process?

I did check the board rules before posting this, the rules on advertising are:

This site is free from advertising. Posts on any board considered to be advertising goods, services and/or companies will be removed. We also do not allow advertising via PM

Examples of this can include anything from a specific sales post or a link to your own website in which you attempt to sell something to someone offering their holiday home to forum members. Unfortunately we cannot allow any advertising of any description no matter how honourable the intention.

I don't think sharing dooyoo usernames is covered under this, but I haven't included mine in this post just in case. If this would be classed as advertising, or isn't allowed for some other reason, my apologies.

I've been writing quite a few reviews on DooYoo recently! Would be good if we could do this, or even to read other members dooyoo reviews as I believe everytime your article gets read you get dooyoo miles

sounds like a quick way to get your account banned..

- Your dooyoo.co.uk name and password are confidential and both you and dooyoo.co.uk agree to keep them confidential.

I don't think directing people to your reviews will get you banned by dooyoo, surely they want more people to visit their site. That part of the T&Cs seems awkwardly written, the full paragraph is

Your dooyoo.co.uk name and password are confidential and both you and dooyoo.co.uk agree to keep them confidential. You will be responsible for any use of the dooyoo.co.uk website accessed via your dooyoo.co.uk name and password whether such use is by you or by a third party. For reasons of security and to ensure your own privacy, you hereby agree to notify dooyoo.co.uk of any unauthorised use of your dooyoo.co.uk name and/or password as soon as you become aware of it.

It sounds like giving out your name and password to someone else is forbidden, but your dooyoo name isn't kept confidential, it's on the website for all to see.

I think this might count as a referral because you are gaining something from it..? There is an existing thread on the referral board about Dooyoo: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/1068379

I cannot see any problem with it as long as you are not saying "rate all my reviews so that I can earn points" but if you approach it from a "check out my reviews, they might be relevant to you" viewpoint.
