Not too many people do reviews. The average person has done 10 or fewer reviews, and I mean out of the people who have posted on 10 or more different threads. People post because they enjoy conversation, or have a question. People don't get the same feeling/result from a review. They either do it out of the goodness of their heart or cause they are pissed at how bad a product is.
One could say that that skews the reviews just as much. What makes one type of review more or less legitimate than another? It's anonymous, worthless reviews with no oversight, no weighting and very little visibility. Get upset that the system sucks, try to change it, move on, whatever. But don't get upset with innocent parties using the system as intended.
The system is broken, I agree.

@scottalanmiller The system is broken, but then again, so is SW.

I find it ethically wrong to ask them to join the website simply to write reviews and then boast about all the Spiceheads that use Quorum and love it. That's Quorum gaming the system.
The system is designed as a game. Gaming it is the intended behaviour. Don't hate the playa, hate the game. If you don't like the rules of the game, you have to either stop playing or change the rules. Don't be upset that people are willing to play it as is.

I was just going to post something like this... but that quick typing thing wins out every time.

The game has bugs in it, and the current devs don't seem to care. We need new devs!

It annoys me that when it shows you have an unread post in a thread, it takes you to the NEWEST post, not where you last left off. That part is a bit annoying, especially when they are on different pages.

Yeah, I agree

Devs have little to nothing to do with it. They don't make decisions like this. Blame the committee that decides where to build a bridge, not the civil engineer who makes sure it doesn't fall down. A dev doesn't get any say in how the system works. That's not the job of a developer.

Mine doesn't do that.

What browser do you use?

Wait you guys have pages? I just have one long stream of posts (or are we talking about the SW forums?)

I set mine to do pages

I was talking about ML in my thing about it jumping to the newest post instead of where I left off.

I paginate. Makes the site load faster, especially on a phone.

I just like logically breaking it up, and it's easier to remember a post was halfway down on page 4 than to go hunting for it in one long stream.

@thanksaj that's kinda true. I do find that I can find things again more easily. Although I do enjoy the constant stream, constant update approach too. But on 2,000 post threads, it gets to be a mess.
