Guide To Making Reviews

So I think we've all seen a lot of simple reviews, just a few lines about how good or bad the product was.



Though people like reading better reviews, good explanations, pictures, etc.

Also, you don't have to write about good products, reviews about bad products are helpful too, so people know what someone else thinks about the product.



In making reviews, it's good to tell the pros, the cons, of every little thing of the product.



It's a good idea to describe everything, like with shoes, do things like: looks, boardfeel, durability etc. You should tell something about everything, what do you like, and what you didn't like about, for example the boardfeel. Then you can rate them out of 10 if you want. And finally, what makes a good review good, after you've handled everything, you should make a small summary and your advice whether to buy or not to buy them, and you might give an overall grade too if you like.



I hope this will help some people, because I've seen a lot of simple reviews which won't really help anyone, more information is usually better.

Sticky! While hoping people will actually read it before writing one... But remember, if you want them to show up in the actual review section, you have to post it here: [url]http://www.how2skate.com/forum/19066.htm[/url]

But wait, Amb, I don't think that's a good idea though, cause it will be spammed with reviews, isn't it better to just put them in the main forum, as topics, so people can rate them and Kris can put them up?

Rise Against woot! Nice haha. Anyways first post and yeah, I've been to a lot of forums with a lot of pointless posts, I think it's good to give some guidelines so we don't have a thousand posts about nothing or the same thing.
