[Place profile here when you've chosen a new way to offend people]
LamboLucifer and I founded the one and only Swami Circle of Cynics. We impress upon even the unimpressionable. We don't believe you. We don't even believe ourselves. Our reviews suck, but yours probably suck more.
The code of the Gimpi Swami
"I am perfectly satisfied, beyond all doubt and beyond all peradventure, that all miracles are falsehoods. I know as well as I know that I live -- that others live -- that what you call your faith, is not true."
So it goes.

I usually rate at least 20 epinions each and every day, and it is very likely that you will be caught in the line of fire of my evil criticism. If you feel I have given you an unfair rating or you want me to re-rate after you make changes, simply e-mail me the link. Below is the system I use to rate your reviews...
Very Helpful:
A review receiving the highest rating must be informative enough that someone who is unfamiliar with the product would be assisted. Also, the majority of the epinion must cover the product being reviewed instead of wild off-topic tangents that take up space. Lastly, the review must be structured with correct grammar and style so that it is easy and fun to read.
Helpful:
A review receiving this rating likely has major structural or style errors that make it difficult to read. Or, the reviewer spent too much time giving unnecessary information. Overall, a helpful review still assist unfamiliar readers with their buying decision.
Somewhat Helpful:
Reviews receiving this rating usually are inadequate at helping the buyer. The reviewer gives very limited information about the product because he or she only spent two minutes writing the epinion. Structural and styical errors are usually dominant but don't make the review illegible.
Not Helpful:
A review receiving the lowest possible rating is uncomprehendable or unrelated to the topic. Often, these epinions are inappropriate or nonsense reviews. Sometimes they are immaturely written or plugs for a certain product. Reviewers who recieve this rating on every occasion simply don't care.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to receive higher ratings, try the following:
Add more details
- artist biographical and discography history
- in depth artist / album comparisons
- individual track analysis
- explanation of your product rating
Correct structure and style
- proper grammar and punctuation to improve comprehension
- utilize bold and italic features for artist name and album title
- divide article into paragraphs or sections
By increasing your articles level of comprehension, you will most likely assure to be given at least a Helpful rating. Then, if your article is helpful to the prospective buyer, you will definitely be given a Very Helpful rating.
