OFF TOPICS

To my mind off topic reviews are unhelpful cos they are in the wrong place. I noticed some SH ratings but they are not even that if I am right. If you wrote a review on Tescos in the Toothbrush area it wouldn't be much help would it ?

OT is NH in my book.

Thanks Dave, my thoughts exactly.

yeh but when someone says not sure this is in the right place, it pulls the whole thing into question. Is it not our responsibility to post in the right place or to seek it ?

If someone posts a DVD review in VHS or vice versa there is a supplement or lack of information but the review is not strictly speaking off topic. As such I would rate it SU. Clear cut cases such as a review of the Durex featherlite condom in the walls sausage category is off topic and NU. Of course I would advise they had the review moved and offer to assist them but I would also be thinking that they were a bit daft.

More reasonable mistakes are in categories such as Speakers Corner were there are categories for say the Indian Cricket Team just titled "India".

People are astonishing. I rated a review NU.

It started like this:

Not sure if this is the right place to put this review but I didn't see anywhere else that looked appropriate.

The topic is for one company, the review for another - rather than suggest the topic, the writer just chose to stick the review anywhere vaguely similar.

The review had my NU, a couple of VU and a U. I even put in my comment that it was off topic. What is THAT all about?

Oh and I thought durex were made with sausage skins or was it the other way around ?
