Rating System for Reviews

I wanted to know what Connosr thinks about introducing a rating system for reviews - thumbs up and thumbs down - just like you have for the comments in the discussion forums. Or maybe have a counter that shows how many times a review has been viewed.

As a prolific writer of reviews I would like to know whether my reviews are being read and appreciated / not appreciated.

Is that something that can be introduced to the site to drive up engagement levels?

@TheConscience

I always appreciate your reviews...

Also, I too like the idea of a statistic to track views.

I think that knowing if a review that I have written has helped or not helped would be a great gage to me, in so far as I don't let myself get to high or low on expectations of my own writing skill. Thanks @tabarakRazvi for a valued discussion. :)

Some statistics I'd like to know would be. No. Of views, thumbs up or thumbs down though if someone goes to the trouble of judging your review good or bad I think they should also be forced to write a comment on the review.

Interesting idea, but how to encourage commenting without discouraging thumbs up/down.... I think there are probably many people finding reviews useful but who couldn't easily think of anything useful to write, aside from "thanks!" Maybe leaving a comment of certain length could double the effect of voting?

I would also find it really useful if I could search within one favorite reviewer's write-ups. For example I could find @tabarakRazvi's Uigeadail review without scouring through 70 others. And seeing 50 of his review titles&score on 1 page would really save a lot of time.

Incidentally, @Jean-Luc @Connosr, the website's search function is still not finding any reviews written after October 25.............

@vanPelt, Cellartracker does that -- one can add comments, or note whether the review was 'useful' or not. I'd also favor being able to search through one person's reviews more easily, and for a reviewer to see how many 'views' his/her review has received. Great ideas, tabarakRazvi!
