Once a review gets a "somewhat useful" rating, you get an alert from Mouthshut which reads as follows:"We are not saying that your review is not up to the mark. All we are saying is it could have been much better. A little editing, a few additional details would do the trick of winning the confidence of members."
OK. But some other reader has already rated the same review "Useful" for which you have exclaimed "Congratulations! Keep it up!" and so forth.
So the writer is now in a dilemma. Should he "Keep it up" or should he do " a little editing, add a few additional details ."This gives the concientious writer of reviews sleepless nights inspite of using the Electronic Mosquito Squatter whose praises he had sung in the review entitled "So long Tortoise, Good night Good Knight"
While I entirely support and applaud the noble intentions of Mouthshut I suggest that Mouthshut avoid giving conflicting messages that disturb, disorient, not to mention distort the reviewer.Like the title of this review might have done to Jasmine. Sorry, Jasmine, no harm meant, and no hard feelings. It was just to make a point!
Cheers
