I get that sometimes as well... I find it's alleviated by writing about something I have a really strong opinion of, mainly a book or a movie. Something you don't have to worry about specifications or making it sound interesting (like a tin of baked beans).

I don't think I've ever wrote a book or film review?! I only read autobiographies, and then only one in a blue moon! They are two topics I never really felt I could do justice to, I think my limits lie in Beauty products/bath products lol!

I logged on last night for the first times in absolutely ages, over 4000 points had expired My own fault for not keeping up with it.

Guides are dooyoo members who write reviews in particular categories and think there superior to other members. I was a dooyoo member in 2010 and was bullied off the site in about a month. I was sent sarcastic, abusive messages from one of these guides who accused me of making up reviews. Most of my reviews were cat-related, so I found it all very odd. Haven't bothered with it since.

i have talked to two and they were nice. did you report the abuse you received?

When I was first on the site I posted a few not-very-good reviews and got wrote up by a guide, but that's the only negative experience I've had with them (and it was my own fault...). Most of them seem helpful. Not that I'm belittling your experience - I don't doubt some might let it get to their head. If you go back under a different name I think you will find it different.

i have posted some negative reviews about v popular products ( ie body shop claiming to be ethical and natural etc) but have not got flamed by anybody (yet)..... maybe it has changed since you were last there? or maybe you were v unlcuky? i have found everybody really nice over there (so far)

Hello everyone! Thanks for this thread, I hadn't written for DooYoo for years, but decided to get back in to it. I've added a few of you to my 'Circle of Friends', so if you have a stranger on there, it's me Same name as here. Wrote a review last night, and another this morning. May try and get a few written today in word, so I can post them up as needed. It's hard getting the rate/ rated levels right, I've been trying to do everyone who's reviewed mine, I know they really knock people who don't over there!

I posted 11 reviews and 4 were crowned so it wasn't that my writing was bad or anything. It started with a guide commenting on a slight spelling mistake and when I emailed them to say that I had corrected the spelling they got nasty and said I was harassing them and so on and it escalated from there, I ended up leaving because I didn't want to worry about whether I'd log into my account and find another nasty message or revenge rate.

I know My own fault for not keeping up with the reviews though, I just got out if the swing of things.

Most of my reviews have been on Skincare, beauty products and the like. I went through a phase of mostly reviewing Lush products, I used to love that shop, and while I still get the odd thing there, I find it to be way too pricey nowadays :eek:
