He's back. Isn't there any way of blocking this d-bag?
Can his posts be marked as Spam to increase his Spam Count? Currently at 1/30, he's definitely posted more spam than 1 message.

Between the shitty reviews and 5 word posts there is some blatant point-whoring going on here:

Can't someone just kill this piece of shit account?
At least mark his shitty posts as Spam to increase his Spam count (only 1 at the moment).

One thing about the hammer falling so swiftly... Most of these funny ones are being killed off before I have a chance to laugh at them. ctoma needs to start posting screenshots of the best ones for posterity sake... then hammer away!

I honestly hope not. But one thing they really could do to stop it would be to renew the mod list. Times moved on. Its not 2009 anymore. Theres 4 or 5 people on this site who arent mods who would have kept chat busy and would have kept the forums nice and looked after from bullshit. If any staff is reading this, can you guys refresh the mod list. Its definitely long overdue and its in your businesses interest to maintain the forums and have ACTIVE mods on chat offering round the clock info to potential customers.

cant do anything about them im afraid... wait, i mean in this case, i wont do anything about them. Not because i disagree with your assessment, but because the amount of work to flag them is way beyond what you think :)
You cant flag brand reviews on the users profile, you have to actively go to the brand page, (a massive shtook around in itself), and the search through a reservoir of shit for a very shitty thing. Basically if i even so much as look at brand reviews i know im stuck there for the next three to four days flagging. We explained the flaw, we asked for it to be fixed. We then, upon request, flagged a TONNE of brand reviews while we waited for the fix (you might remember the people complaining at the time of being caught bang to rights 'but um... everyone else was doing it so its unfair to cut them completely out of the reviews for a little exploit'). A year or so later and the least we could expect is to have the very blatant loophole shut. In fact the least we can expect is that we can flag them on their user profile. Maybe they have and maybe the brand reviews no longer give points. I dunno. But im not wasting my time on them again. :) Actually, ill revise that. If they shut down the loophole, i will in fact flag every single brand review shorter than two sentences. Every single one. :D But until that day, i aint touching them.

its probably in your interest to avoid reviewing until you can figure out how to say a bit more than "its pink" and "i can see through them" about a pair of goggles. :)

So it's not because it's a spam review(which I'm hoping means multiple reviews that people make only to get points)
You're just telling me that my honest opinion about a product that I bought to help the community in any way that I can is not good enough Thanks for the reassurance You're right If there's an actual requirement for a persons opinion on a product I'm definitely not going to do anymore reviews Even though it's only my only review within the last year Considered as spam for points Lol Letting people know that its the only way that I know to get chrome pink lenses on an EG2.5 and that it doesn't fit over glasses(which people personally asked me if it does) isnt helpful information |

While your review was longer winded than most that get marked, it really only touched one aspect of the product. While finding a goggle that fits well over eye wear is important to you, you didn't describe anything else about the product. You clearly state that you haven't worn them out on the snow, or anywhere else other than your living room. Reviews should be an insight to how well the product holds up over time. Your review is the equivalent to buying a car, and telling all your friends and family to buy it because it gets good gas mileage. Consumers need to know more about something they potentially will buy than one feature. Does the foam of the goggle hold up well over time? Do the lenses scratch easy? How about fogging, color fade, ability (or non ability) to take a hit and so on. Not trying to "harsh your mellow", but when it comes to reviews, try to cover every single aspect of a product possible. This review in question was quite weak in that regards. Learn from mistakes, brush it off, and have a good day. |
