How are reviewers selected?

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

What kind of criteria is used for selecting who is going to review what product?

 

It is just a random selection or do the applications actually get reviewed and selected?

 

Are past reviews taken into consideration? For example if two people where in the running for an item, one person wrote a good detailed review of the last item they received while the other either didn't write a review of there last item or just wrote up a basic thank you and "this is what I got" kind of review. Would the person known for writing a good review be selected of the other?

 

I'm just looking to get a feel for how important it is for Element 14 to have good quality reviews of these products. I see in many cases where only 2 or 3 reviews are published for the 5 to 10 kits that where sent out. Do people get removed form the Road Test group if they receive a kit and never write a review or do they just get black listed from receiving any future kits?

 

Thanks for your time!

    thanks for the reply Sagar.  that really clears things up for us.image  i agree with other people that if your selected and dont send in a review you should not have the option to test again because the odds of you repeating are high.

    i also didnt post my coment earlier because im mad i didnt get selected there just isnt anything posted anywhere that really explains how the selection proccess works.  i would almost have element14 post a quick doc somewhere on the roadtest site that explains this process so people cant get mad because they are informed.
