There is usually a simple criteria on who to trust and who not to trust yet there are also occasions where trusting others is necessary and I’ll explain that in a second. Everyone’s opinion of the foundation a person must have in order to be trusted is always going to be different of course.

When to Trust People

You either trust all the people with good reviews which will tackle onto your list and you will be nitpicked as a Trust Slut. Or, you can trust only a few people who have great and well thought out reviews examining the topic or product from every given tangent until someone has to shut them up.

I, myself, have decided to combine the two.

What I look for in a review, is length, depth, the advantages and disadvantages, and an unbiased view. If you like Coca Cola, don’t just simply say that Pepsi sucks. Tell me why Coca Cola is better while at the same time complimenting Pepsi on certain things. Then when you balance out make your statement that Coca Cola weighs in more as my favorite drink yadda yadda yadda.

I never add someone to my trust list after only reading one review simply for the purpose that their work may be plagarized or like even their mommy wrote it for them.

Let’s take for example the member Nealxs. He wrote a phenomenal first review, and I was very impressed ! Yet, I did not add him to my list for those reasons. No offence to him, but I usually look at the style of writing and see if it compares with that of a professional writer (I have a 6th sense on that). I waited for his second review and I received the same effort and great content as displayed in his first.

To get trusted for a review on Mcdonalds for example :

1 to 0 spelling errors, formated properly in paragraph form, thoroughly covers the products, the service, the price, any promotions, the ambience, a comparison to other fast food restaurants, speed of service. Basically, examine it in 25 or more ways (this number is not accurate and will vary from review topic).

When to Distrust People

These are the only 3 reasons I will ever distrust a person.

The most important factor I base on distrusting people is plagarism. If I find out that someone has plagarized , I am for one disgusted at your dishonest ways and you are automatically distrusted for life. I can’t distrust you again, unless you get deleted and then I am just wasting loading time for your characters on my profile page.

Revenge rating is the second. If I rate your review a certain grade and you can’t accept that (along with my always usual explanation) unless its totally obvious and you come back to mine and rate it SR when a 97% majority has HR’d it and you do not leave a comment. I see that as disgusting too and I’ll distrust you.

Inflammatory or derrogatory emails to me stating absolute nonsense or death threats. BOOM, ’’Add this person to your distrust list’’.

Other Special Case Ways

If a person is an average writer and the review system is indexed based on the number of people that trust you and my referrals have somewhat of a good writing style, I will trust them. I know it sounds lame, but their success is 5% my success, lol.

Overall Comments

Basically, those are the necessary steps that one (I) take to trust and distrust a person on this site. Oh I forgot as well, if I trusted someone from the ’’E’’ site, automatically I will trust them here for the reason that I already know their writing style.
