I mean I’ve started to rate 9/10 if the bud isn’t bang on especially when it’s labelled exotic/import and sometimes even lower. I have seen some vendors try push some questionable bud through as exotics and get a string of 10/10 just for getting the bud there, leading to me being disappointed when purchasing.
Ideally there should be 4 cats for review scoring imo

Product quality-taste
Product quality-potency
Value for money
Vendor service

I agree, some of the worst I’ve smoked has been plastered as exotics on here, the reviews should be more defined.
However, I didn’t know visibility relied on good ratings so 7/10 for what sounds like a good weed for a new vendor is harsh

Yeah completely agree in this instance the review is stupid. If it’s as advertised it should be 10/10. This is sold as mid/top UK so if it’s lacking a little ‘panache’ as the person says it should be a 9 maybe 8 at worst but I would then justify it in the comments e.g lack of terps/clean smoke.

10/10 not tried it but my gran says it landed and it’s fire 🔥

I’d give it a 9/10 if it set my gran on fire. At best.

Early on using LB after the 10/10 because I got weed though the door phase.

I remember DeadRabb1t mentioning this in another comment.

You rate against the advert/product page and is it as described etc, otherwise shake would all be low scores due to it not being 10/10 🔥🔥🔥

I think this is spot on and since I have always scored my review based on as advertised.

I also respect the fact that everyone has their own way of reviewing and scoring. On topics and reviews, my issue is that there is no bench mark of the personal opinion or comparison to other products (last one being on topics no reviews)

Didn't know there were rules about reviews? What are they and where can I find them?

I agree with Deadrabbit. If the best weed you’ve ever smoked is a 8-9-10/10 and you’re buying a mid/top shelf as advertised then it’s obviously never going to match that is it? Which is unfair to the vendor

Couldn't agree more, especially when he points out the vendor is 10/10 in the review 😅

Just put what you want, I reckon. 🤷‍♂️

I left that review and as others have commented here I didn't know there are rules as to how you rate, so next time you want me to not rate truthfully and just give shit weed 10/10 yeah? It's explained in there but at the end of the day, the scale of weed should be the same for everyone, if you're unlucky enough to have smoked shit weed all your life and you don't know the difference how is that my problem in a review here??? I've already said somewhere there should be 2 ratings, product and vendor. Again, like someone else said, I've bought weed rated at 10/10 and been MASSIVELY disappointed.....for over 2 bills as well so to fuck if you think im going to post 10 just because it got there and was stealthy. And for the same reason your bitching about how do others know what you've smoked, how do you expect to talk to 80% of these "dealers" that think they have the shit? The weed game is crazy and so is half the people in it 😂😂

Not sabotage then 👍

Ouch, I felt that from here DR 😮‍💨

How come you're not moaning at the 8 guy and his "tastes" anyway mate? You been knocked back by a 7 or something?

Ok so I shall endeavour to explain why I felt the need to post about your review and not to post about the other review that gave an 8
It begins here
https://littlebiggy.com/item/28IdA8BqV4b4Q4VHsD149kPT/view/p
And for me with your opening sentence
“8s 9s and 10s for me are reserved for literally the best weed I’ve ever smoked” so you bought a mid/high tier product at $45 for 3.5g and have already stated that unless it’s not that and actually in the “best weed ever “ section then it won’t get a score higher than 7

Uk average i would rate around 3 or 4 – comapred to what?
This is coming in at 7 for me as its pretty clean, nice smoke.
So is it much better than the UK average and therefore better than mids?

there’s just a tiny bit of panache missing
(noun:panache
1: Flamboyant confidence of style or manner
2: a tuft or plume of feathers, especially as a headdress or on a helme ).
I’m sorry it didn’t strut in wearing a feathered headdress but I’m not sure that’s a typical rating system

Mild to medium high which for me is good so I can resume productivity but everybody is different, this is just for me. Would rate vendor 10/10. Warm and friendly
Honestly if you haven’t got it by now it’s not worth the typing effort here

And so into the 8 well unlike your it’s not gonna score more than a 7 opening unless it’s magic, it just reads as someone who wasn’t expecting feathers and headresses but felt that compared to other trates they had bought they weren’t a fan of the taste, a actually reason to mark the product down.

Honestly not a fan of the taste, dabs well, strong relaxing high just a strange flavour I don’t really enjoy. Great Comms from seller and stealth was decent enough.

Anyhow hope this clarifies for you 👍

So to clarify......we are not reviewing the actual product no matter what the fuck the advert says......we are actually reviewing the advert on how truthful it is????

Cry more bro

This ain’t that deep, so typically the review is of the product and vendor. For example, if the shake you ordered was as described and arrived in a day that’s a 10. F the shake was advertised as the best shake ever and it was shit or if it took a month to arrive then you low score. Does that make sense mate?

I think the point is that the scale can’t be the same for everyone as not everyone has the same interpretation of what you say is a 10.

The only common factor that buyers can review against is the listing.

If you review that way fine the best weed ever fine.

Bit like ordering a Ford and disappointed it’s not Aston Martin.

Your comments escalated quickly.

Better argument than shouting might help.

Not really mate. Not when you're being called stupid for reviewing truthfully. Nearly all vendors overhype their weed, they have to if its not great or it won't sell. Personally I think its absolutly stupid to blow smoke up someone's arse but that's just me and I'd keep that to myself, I don't go round saying stupid shit about people while accusing them of being stupid, ESPECIALLY when he wouldnt do it in the real world. I'm completely happy NOT being with the band of idiots who think it's stupid to post truthfully and then go and out themselves about it.....thats just plain weird to me and shows me who's real and who likes to make things up as they go along.

And just to add.....the scale is 1 to 10.....1 being the worst 10 being the best, if you're unhappy with "mid/top" pretty accuratly being represented by the number 7 then go try and reinvent the wheel elsewhere imo. Better still get your money out, buy it and YOU rate it as a 10

Insane how no mention of stealth which for me is #1 especially with new vendors - should have it's own system along with other factors that go on reviews in other markets. Ultimately there are 3 or 4 variables that should make up a review, even without words or subjective opinions, such as the UK average being rated 3 or 4/10 by default haha

People can add whatever score they like. That’s what reviews are for. If this person saw this weed as a 7/10 then fair enough. 🤷‍♂️

… I kinda don’t know. But no offence was meant anyway.

When it's missing the Panache it's a 7 from len

It's a bullshit review, it's completely unfair. Best thing vendor can do to get the ratings up is have a nice price drop, or better yet, release a 1g each Sample sale. That'll get the reviews up to where they should be. Does look like good flower, but still.

It raise the point of quality then.

How can we rate and review weed consistently with different batches. Vendors like to keep the reviews high so keep the listing for multiple batches and different strains all together. Is that the right way to do it ?

I wouldn’t agree.

I think keeping the same listing for the same strains is a given but I think it would start to get messy when you start getting into batches.

That’s when the reviews and repeat customers should highlight that with reviews.

In my opinion mate be honest and truthful and fuck what anyone else thinks 🤷🏼‍♂️ don't understand the issue like it won't be legal in a few year and this sites history anyway. Let's face it if you've got the absolute fire you're not going to struggle. Nothing beats the truth and word of mouth.

Bruh no way is this site going to go when it gets legalised. Won't necessarily be any cheaper or better when it's legalised. Apparently uk medicinal weed has only just started to get better quality wise bearing in mind its been around for years. If sites like this and local dealers go, the shops really will start charging £50 a 3.5. And it'll go up and up and up 😯

I been on medical fo at least a year now and yes it's got a touch better but there's a different scam over there, its called irradiation. Well it's not a scam it has to be done for a small group of people because the microbiomes exacerbate their symptoms. However for the rest of us that translates to killing everything that eats mold and keeps your weed fresher for longer, so whilst thae quality is kinda gettin better they've now given legal weed a use by date basically. Totally get where you're coming from but realistically when u can pop to the shop or even order weed on uber eats I wouldn't really come on a website and deal with some of the shit u have to deal with on here. I hate to say it but 40/50 is where 3.5s are gonna end up bro, I grow myself and with the cost of living, unless your bypassing meters there's no way on this earth u can sustain 20 quid a 3.5 cuz your losing out straight away in electric, and that's just with 4 to 10 lights. I had all the hope in the world of selling my last real good crop for 20 quid, but totting it all up I wouldn't have even broke even, I had to sell at 30 just to make a few hundred.

That's fair, I sorta think if it gets legalised a lot more people would grow for spare cash maybe, meaning a lot more bud, meaning people will lower prices. However, with the way electricity has gone especially over the past 12 months odd, I get that part of it. Might just have to turn to importing from cheap places in bulk where possible 😬

Well that's what's happened in the states basically bro, huge influx of cheap shit weed cuz its pretty legal to do so, has bought the price right down.....for cheap shit weed. Good weed will never Lose its value. And yeah your spot on everyone will grow it, but not everyone *can* grow weed that's the problem 😅😅.

Agree just be honest when you review.

At least you gave an explanation of your review. As I previously said I’m not saying your review or anyone’s review is untrustworthy but the basis is just unrealistic.

New seller 5 sales and you shoot the average score down by reviewing a 7 based on the best weed you have ever had?

So give an example of what’s a 10 for your and what did it cost for 3.5 ?

Sorry DeadRabb1t, I really don't want to sound like I am stirring the pot or trying to cause an argument but is there anywhere that does explain how the scores work? I appreciate your system and I do similair myself, was just curious if this was set in stone somewhere as I can't remember reading it. Perhaps it should be part of signing up. Cheers

This seems to have escalated. One considers. Do you spend a good 40 minutes (which I now will) reading it all. Considering the arguments. For. And indeed, againsf.

Vanrnt typesh. But stoned.

Omg....ive actually just realised that you think the 1 to 10 scale is about everything. Where is your common sense?!?! Why on earth would you rate shake with weed in mind??? If shake is your thing u rate it 1 to 10 compared to the SHAKE that you've had, not the weed as well. I think you really need to think before you speak because that's why you end up with all these downvotes. Which not ONCE have i downvoted anybody here because its ok to have an opinion......and if you don't like the way i review weed, keep that shit to yourself and keep it moving because I'm the longest standing member here and I come here to buy weed/cannabis not to give opinions to other people when I don't like what they say. I've also got screenshots of convo with vendor.....I asked him if he was happy with the review I was about to post which he seemed more than happy and then we had a full on conversation in the dms.....so when the vendor is happy what does your opinion matter really??? And I'd like to see where this "established" reviewing system is that you're waffling about.

Well that’s a contradiction as you just rated mid shelf weed against top tier 🔥

The review system is there for you to review the product against the advert of what you’ve bought, if you buy mid shelf you rate it as mid shelf as in we expect mid shelf to have less Terps and strength than top shelf. We also expect mid shelf to be cheaper.

Unless the advert states otherwise in which case we can mention that it did or didn’t in the review.

You have rated a mid product that cost $45 and openly claim you’re comparing it to absolute fire so won’t get a 10.

Thats not how the review system works, you can’t compare mid shelf to a pack of jungle boys that’s costs more than 3 times the mid shelf.

You have to rate this mid shelf against other mid shelf and against the advert, you rate shake against other shake. Concentrates for argument sake you can’t compare £200 hash rosin to street wax. It’s quite simple.

The rating you have given to this mid shelf product to other buyers makes it look like you didn’t think it was that good as a 7/10 for mid shelf would make me avoid that product personally.

The point deadrabb1ts trying to make is that if everyone reviewed this vendor like you have they won’t get very far if their overall rating is a 7/10. Even though the products could be quite accurate and good value for the money.

The very fact you don’t say why you didn’t rate it for the money other than the lack of feathers or something, panache I think was your term also makes it harder for other buyers to make a decision and will put some off.

The rating system is not there to compare all the products against each other, there’s not enough numbers in a 1 to 10 scale to separate it out.

Hence sabaotage or stupidity, and like you say considering how long you’ve been here you know how damaging low scores can be for new vendors.

Would you buy from a vendor with an overall score of 7/10 ?

👏👏👏👏 exactly our point but put in a far better way.

Now give DR his box back

I only got as far as your very first paragraph because it's incorrect, it's not labelled as mid only it's labelled mid/top. So I'm comparing it to mid/tops 😅. And no offence to any vendors at all, but I'm not here to blow smoke up their arse and say a product is 10 jus because it landed. I bought from this seller with no reviews at all so yeah i would buy from a 7. I was this sellers first sale, so when he gets some tens from people who rate 10s for the sake of it he'll be fine 👌🏼

The fact it claims to be a mid/top would tell me it’s not a top tier 🔥product. So why rate it against one. It’s a high end mid for $45.

I’m also guessing as you quoted my final paragraph you read more than just the opening statement.

No one’s expecting you to blow smoke up anyone’s ass, and if you felt it was a 7 than fair enough. But it’s the fact you started the review by saying I’m only gonna compare this to the best I’ve smoked, when for the price this quite clearly isn’t gonna stand up to that even if it is very good.

Seems like a dick move on a new vendor, you should have bought the exotics if that’s what you wanted to review against.

And you may have been the first sale with a new vendor, I doubt if you’d found this vendor after seeing your review you’d have had a go.

No harm done on the review mate don’t sweat it
However we don’t think we overhype weed or blow smoke up anyone’s arse. We also never expect you to review shit weed a 10 but we know that our cream soda isn’t shit. If that wasn’t aimed at us specifically we do sincerely apologise
We’ve had a lot of stigma from this - not your review but this specific post so we’re trying to resolve it 👍🏻 we appreciate your honesty

Hi pinkleaffarmacy it’s crap that you’re having to take the time to respond to this.

DR point is that 7/10 really hursts new venders in regards to % and the basis and logic for reviewing is miles out.

Again like Califan86 has mentioned we can all have views. I just don’t agree with him.

No weren't meant for you guys was meant for most sellers wether here or real world.

Well I'm not surprised you're getting stigma because this clowns double standards are ridiculous, moans about being "nice" and not knowing why he gets downvoted all the time, not surprised when he's leaving comments like this about people whilst saying he's such a nice person 😂🤣😂. As I said to him get your money out buy it and leave your own review......what did I say to you guys in very first message??? Your new so I will give you a try, that's being nice to people not telling them they're stupid or sabotaging something 🙈🙈

Not a fan of Pratchett and Gaimens "Good Omens" book I take it then.

Give it up man.

You want a shovel ?

Im not gonna sit here and be ok with being attacked for reviewing truthfully, If u don't wanna hear me don't talk to me and keep it going.....pretty simple.

Following site rules again?? Disgusting behaviour...

😁

I’m reviewing that comment 7/10 I keep 8,9,10 for quality abuse and missing the point.

Truthfully review weed based on my interpretation of system.
People might agree people might not 🤷‍♂️

No one is attacking you for “truthfully” reviewing.

Just simply pointing out I disagree with the basis of your review.

I have said it previously but I’ll give another example?

We both by the same strain of weed.

I’ve never tried it so I don’t have a reference point?

I wonder if there is something I can compare it too? Like in other retail ?????

So by that logic, you'll buy a Ford and rate it 10/10 without ever knowing what a Mercedes is. Good logic, hope u get far in life with that👌🏼

You buy a Mercedes and rate it 10/10 without knowing what a porsche is.

See how this works 🤷‍♂️

No....I'd buy a merc and rate it a 7 because there's porsches around obviously but non of u can see that

What’s a 10 in car terms ? Lol
