Great review guys, well done.

JB, could you maybe give me an example of quality feedback? Say on a driver review that I have never used or seen in person. I would like to step up my game in this department and give some better feedback to the testers. Sometimes I find it a little hard when I am not familiar with the product and therefore struggle with what to say. I would really appreciate some advice or suggestions.
Something more than "great review" comes to mind.
Take anything from the actual review you are reading and say something about it is a big deal to people. Less on the home page as much as on the forum. But reviews are all reviews.
Exactly, rather than telling someone "great job" tell them why they are doing a great job. Tell them which part of their review really stuck with you and why and tell them if a part of their review could use some work.
To the bolded, That answeres any questions i may have had.
I am happy to see that people are embracing this new policy. It's not something I wanted to do but after several long talks with the companies it has been agreed upon that this will be in full effect going forward.
Yeah, every review and every reviewer is different. Nothing can be set in stone because every person and every product is different. Sometimes a text review is best, sometimes it's pictures and sometimes it's videos. (I have 3 more videos going up in the Greensaver thread shortly, btw).This is an interesting suggestion. Yes, that would be a lot of work but I am always up for extra work if it helps the forum. My only concern is that people will take what they see as 'correct' and just mimic it without using any personal creativity. There isn't 1 set in stone way to do things, but it could be used as a guideline as long as people know it is just that, a guideline. Let me think about this one some more.
This is a great idea and something I have heard from several testers. When they aren't getting responses they feel it's time to stop the testing. This is the same issue we get with our homepage articles. We bust our butts to write those reviews and articles and only a small percentage of the forum members ever comment. We actually get more hits on the homepage then we do the forum and we know people are reading the articles, but having that reassurance that we are doing a good job, or giving us criticism on what we need to do better really helps. It keeps the motivation alive.
I would love to see more comments, questions and overall interaction from the other forum members.
I feel that in the Burner 2.0 thread, we have had quite a bit of good questions, but the whole thread has died lately. I think it may have to do with the fact that this was a second testing of the products. Some people have come in and interacted with us, and have asked great questions, and have even told us that our feedback has helped them make the purchase. When I go in there and no one has replied to my post, it's like you said GG; it's really nice to know that what you're saying is being read, and when you don't know, it takes motivation away.
This is getting off the main purpose of the thread, but I gotta ask, in addition to replying to the reviews, the radio shows, etc., how many people "Like" or Retweet or Share on Facebook these articles and shows? That's also a good way to get this oinformation out to the masses. I don't know if the people I am friends with pay any attention to the THP articles I post on my FB page, but I know if I didn't do it, then for sure none of them would see them.

I have to say that I dont really agree. A review thread dies because reviewers stop putting up information. Testers need to remember they are not just reviewing for the forum, but for the thousands that find that thread via organic search. I will ask the same question to you that I asked above. How often have you read and commented on the home page reviews? Should they stop because forum members dont read or comment on them?
Being the 2nd testing should have nothing to do it with it because these golfers were not the same that tested the first time. Its not about giving people what they want to read, but about giving as much in depth information about the clubs and technology to help them make an honest and informed decision.
