Who do you rank?

I read many reviews. Some for products that interest me and some just to get a feel for how to write them. I rate the reviews most that I read and like to leave comments, even if it's the same old "great review" everyone else has left. I like to give positive feedback. I don't usually rate reviews I don't like because I prefer not to be very negative toward the reviewer. Often those reviews already have constructive comments.

I try to read and rate as much as I can, but there are just sooo many new ones, and I am still trying to catch up on the ones I missed the last few months.

+1 on rating products that interest me. I tend to browse through different things sometimes, but mostly only look at something that catches my eye. I do try and read new reviews as well though.

With school I have been strapped for time so I tend to read only reviews of the toys I am interested in... I generally don't pay much attention to who wrote what unless I feel that that person tends to like the same toys I do and might steer me toward my next toy.

I read reviews of popular faces at EF and occasional reviews of newbies (I know, I'm bad). I rate all reviews however and never pass a chance on helping someone who is in need of assistance!

Another vote for other -- I rate everything I read, unless I get interrupted or something -- but my reading is fairly random. If I'm interested in a product, I read all of its reviews, if I'm looking for something to read while I sit down for a bit I'll read the newest reviews, sometimes when I'm bored I read random reviews by surfing aimlessly around the site, and sometimes I disappear for a month or two and don't read anything at all, for reasons that have nothing to do with the site.

So basically, there's no way to predict what I might read, but I've long been trained by the world of fanfiction to "review" everything I read. Here that means a rating, and sometimes a comment if I have a question, or something useful to say.

When I say I read what I can time constraints effect that considerably. When my son is awake I tend to stick to the forums if I'm on EF unless he's busy in another room. Between the limited time on the reviews, school, and work I don't get to read any where near every review.

I do rate pretty much every review that I read.

I tend to read reviews randomly. I'll click on a new review and if I like it I might check out a few more by that person, then its onto the next.

I also check out the reviews for the products Ive reviewed before. I like to see what other people thought of the products I loved or disliked. If they liked something I liked there's a chance I might like other things they've liked

Being a bit of a newbie, I'm not always sure what I'll enjoy yet so those seem to be the best ways to check stuff out and find products that will be appealing.

When I first started reading reviews, I read and rated everything. Now there are honestly just too many new reviews every day to keep up. Like there was a recent surge of video reviews (from the porn club) and I honestly couldn't read them all. There were just too many and all on just 2 videos.

So I try to limit it to items I have an interest in or reviewers I follow.

Yup, now that you mention it, there are reviews for some items that I'm not interested in reading, like porn or condoms.

I don't care who wrote the review, I chose to read and then rate the reviews of products that appeal to me.

Neither. I skim all reviews in Google Reader and click over to see the ones that interest me product-wise. I rarely rate any more because there's no point.

I read mainly the new reviews, reviews from people I follow and any product I am super interested in. I rate and comment almost always.

I only read reviews and rate on products that interest me. If the product has more than one review, I tend to read those too.

I read and rate reviews on content. As a newer member I find myslef reading every review that I can on the Advanced Reviewer votes (probably because it is easier then searching out products I am unfamiliar with) If I do rate a review I base it off of what I learned or what someone may learn. I find it interesting when you have some reviews that thought the product was great and on others it was a complete flop. Each have their benefits and informational qualities.

My favorite reviews to read are usually written by people who positively rated my reviews. But this is definitely not because of any sort of favoritism or spoils system. They're just usually more helpful. I think this has to do with the simple fact that we have something in common anatomically/sexually that makes our preferences align and our information useful to eachother.

I like to look at the reviews of products i am interested in or that i am curios about. I try to read over and rate reviews from different people. Before I follow someone I try to read their reviews. If a review is not so good I feel bad rating someone poorly, but this is how we learn. If i noticed that other people have already tried to correct them then I don't add to the negativity, and i won't bother rating. I will definitely leave a comment if the review was informative and I think they did great on explaining the product. I am pretty new here, so I don't have a "clique".
