ive stopped bothering with flagging them. Best thing is to tell Allie or george and theyll shut down their coupon going through on their account. In the past it was autmoated, now someone has to input the code. If you do it by taking the piss and abusing the system, pretty easy to just not send you the code.

THat box review... i just dunno where to even begin? Was it satire? :O I always thought i was great with the double edged nature of irony, but after reading that i dont know where anything is anymore :(
Left the customer service review. I know i know, but he did say what he was having problems with, and it was an issue directly relating to the product, and customer service is a part of the purchase as far as im concerned, so its a legit gripe. Ideally obviously, this is EXACTLY what thbrand reviews should be all about, but no one wants more brand reviews on the site. :)

First 2 reviews are weak... well, actually the Burton Stiletto Binding review is a review of the packaging, not the binding. The 3rd review is a review of the customer service, not necessarily the binding.
Does this even qualify as a review? |

While I do not find batmanwest attractive I do not think he is an ugly bloke plus he does get style points for that damned fine mustache. And what he does at 1:00am whether he's married or not isn't really anyone's business. And now for my personal attack... batmanwest lives in OH, 'nuff said! ![]() Some people just need to relax, we're discussing points and crappy reviews here not world politics or debating religious views. Online personal attacks and sending PMs bitching at someone is weak and spineless (rec'd a few of those myself...). And now another personal attack... dtj, you dress funny. Peace out motherfockers. |

TO: nuggetuconn
FWIW, I too much rather prefer reading through long reviews and place much greater value on them over the ones just a few sentences long. Someone taking that much time to write all that, in my opinion, cares more about sharing that information with prospective buyers. My early reviews were too short and I got dinged for them. Some of my later ones, which I thought were quite valid and lengthy too, I got dinged for as well. You win some you lose some. I do think you're lucky to be kept at 7 out of 10 as I've read through some of your remaining reviews... so be thankful for that. I've said this a few times already on this thread but here it is again, avoid posting 3 reviews per day. It's your daily limit, I know, but once you do that, particularly in close succession... you're going to attract attention you don't want. It's happened to me. I too do not really trust the opinion of demo-ers. I prefer the words from someone who had more time with the product and was able to test it under various conditions. Nowadays, I like to spend at least a handful of days on the hill testing the product before I write my review. Batmanwest is showing a bit of patience with you with his responses to your personal attacks. I do believe he is trying to offer you sound advice. I suggest you put the angst aside and kindly move on. You're getting close to your 1500... you'll get there in no time with logins and forum posts, just don't become a 5 and out-er! |

First, I want to thank Sintexo for assisting me in responding to my question in a kindly way.
Second, Batmanwest, to mention something about a pm in a public forum? Wow just wow, I'll let you be the judge of that. What I mean't was you spent so much time on your profile, yet you omit the "my stuff" section. Is it laziness or you're afraid Big Brother is on to you? Third, "mom think's I'm handsome," so cliche. Good job. I'm just being the better man this will be my last post on this matter, Batmanwest you should be ashamed, you're married and its 1:50 am in the morning and your posting why are you doing up so late? Fourth, "Lawyered"

If someone still coded this site, you bet your ass those would have been pulled at least two years ago. :) Alas, it seems nighthawk (who wrote it and long since left) has the code completely locked up so any alteration they try and make to the site causes the whole thing to auto destruct. They dont tamper with it too often, but when they do it usually means the community button leads to an error message and you have to figure a way around to get to the forums. :) Happens more than you think.

Thanks mate! I assure you it's all original material right from me noggin. (wait, is this your attempt at embarrassing me as you stated in the PM you just sent me?) As far as petitioning TS to remove the "Demo" option for reviews, not gonna happen. While yes, I really don't think it SHOULD be an option, there is nothing I can do about it, and it's not worth my time or energy to annoy a bunch of people about it in hopes to get it ended. I will offer you the same advice in your spammed reviews. Move on, take in all the things and suggestions mentioned. Ipps offered you many suggestions for next time (as usual) so just don't sweat it. I am sorry you have to look at my "ugly" profile picture, my mom thinks I'm handsome btw. Honestly, I think you are lucky that all your reviews have not been marked. Someone out there is giving you a chance by leaving you at 7 of 10. Take that as your second....thir.....seventh chance and roll with it. Move along, nothing else to see here /rants/bitching. |

Please dont think every review is a special snowflake. If its crap, it gets pulled. You dont lose any points, you just dont get the points for reviewing the item. You also get closer to ten flags and locking yourself out of the reviews. Im not going to be dickish about it, but also remember this:
There is a criteria. The review has to have a purpose. We are pretty consistent in what gets pulled and what stays up. We cant of course catch all the reviews that are crappy, theres just not enough people on line to do it, plus this isnt a job despite how it sometimes feels. Ive got more important things to do than go through each item in each brand and pulling the crap reviews. For instance, id rather be WRITING reviews. Massively detailed (ONE TruSnow POINT ONLY!) reviews on the forums instead of in the review section. I like doing that because the review system is too damn small for me to say what i need to say. And i like being thorough. :) If you think we are going to buy into the idea that every review is a special unique take on it despite its OBJECTIVE value since its a perspective and all perspectives are equally valuable then im afraid youre going to get locked out. The best way to not get locked out is to stop thinking you are entitled to write whatever you want because its all valuable and its all a perspective, and instead to take on board the constructive criticism here and elsewhere and realise there is a criteria, your reviews are being judged for the content and value they add to the product description, and that we have absolutely no problem flagging them if they dont offer anything of value to the site and to the business (a massive run on sentence for the hell of it :)) Again, please understand im only being a bit blunt here because im worried youre convincing yourself its a free for all. Its not. Theres a criteria. Ive told you what it is in the other thread. And your reviews will be flagged based on it. Please dont give up if youre sincere, and take on baord what im saying. Genuinely you should really be locked out already because almost all of your reviews are lacking in any real detail. Ironically its only really because the review system is so poorly maintained that you have yet to be locked out. If it was much tidier, the criteria would go up, we'd have several new mods to replace the ones we lost over the years, and poor reviews would have very little chance of squeezing through the teensy chasms.

"Rules are the rules, guides lines are the guide lines"
Ok comrade. Oh batman west you're so witty. Where do you come with these phrases? You mentioned that you don't want people to say "they demoed this." You might as well petition TruSnow to remove "I've demoed this" and "I want this" as an option. |

![]() Of course I posted on that thread because it's relevant! I searched "Product Spam" on the forum search engine. Sure you find it irrelevant and not helpful, but that's you. Whose to say someone else may find that helpful. You do realize in this modern age of Twitter, people don't want a dissertation.

I don't have a twitter account for a reason....and this isn't some hash tag shit fest. Rules are the rules, guides lines are the guide lines...deal with it son. Obviously, the person the spam hammered your reviews didn't find it helpful either, eh? Relevant is debatable. IMO there wasn't really a reason to dig up that thread, you could of just kept the convo going here...you know...in a current SPAM thread. Although, I do have to kind of thank you for digging that gem up (as Ipps said as well), Just got done reading that thread from start to finish, and oh hell it's a good one ![]() Anyways, one last note...that scrip doesn't work here.... ![]() |

Actually, I am looking for anything possible that can be said about a product. Unlike a few that frequent this site, I personally DO want a dissertation. If I am buying something online, I want to know everything about it from people that have used it, and used it for a while. I personally do not find any review that starts out "I demoed this", useful. I personally don't think you can fully describe and review a product after only using it for a few hours, but hey....that is just me. Just because another review doesn't say what you said, doesn't make it helpful IMO. Hell, I could rant on about totally random stuff, doesn't make it helpful. Your point is invalid. Point is, there are multiple people here that do not find your reviews helpful. Don't take it so personal, not everyone is meant to write reviews. If ya end up getting "locked out" from reviews, I can assure you it is for a reason. It's not because someone doesn't like you. As far as trolling....that is your opinion. I personally look at it as trying to help out and offer advice into why you keep getting marked. I would bet a few cheezzburgers that a few others here agree on that, brah. EDIT: As far as the 2+ year old thread, I am talking about you bumping the "Spam appeals" thread....last post was Oct. 2010. And as far as my 2K+ thread posts...I was talking about things...like snow, and cats, and photos, and riding lame ass Ohio hills, and bikes (lots of bikes) and music (also lots of music) and so on....I spend a bit of time here....brah. Shit adds up. |

Look reviews are subjective. You're looking for durability. Mine are unique. What would I regurgitate what people said already. I thought about purchasing a 154 custom twin as I ride a 154 custom directional 2010 line, but it's a good thing I didn't because I went to a local dealer and they were very helpful. Not one review posted my information. What do you mean +2 year old thread? Stop trolling bro. Seriously, what are you talking about on your 2k+ posts?

Probably your weak sauce reviews. Really man, I just read through the ones you had left, and If I had the power I would delete at least 80 percent of what's left. For me, one of the biggest things I look for (besides fit) is how durable a product is. Can't find anything in any of your review that touched base on this. You don't have to write a dissertation, but I do expect you to talk at length about how the product worked for you. Imagine you are describing the product to a blind person. When you can't physically touch/feel/use something, you want to know as much as you can about it. Sorry if that means you need to write more than a few sentences. Also mate, bumping up a 2+ year old thread does not help your case. Push comes to shove, I didn't find a single one of your reviews helpful, and it wasn't because of "grammar". |

your reviews arent that great. Sorry dude, but youll have to kinda figure this out. Hang tight though, im in the middle of trying to write a post to help you out. Suffice it to say however, once youre named in this thread, chances are youre going to be locked out. We all dont have the same level of tolerance for poor reviews after all :) Chill out, read some of the replies ive given in this thread, and read the sticky thread on writing quality reviews. Then youll probably see why your reviews were considered below par. If you still feel aggrieved though, just list the flags you think were unfair and ill try and explain why you got them (or even as you can see form the longish post a few comments above) ill even agree with you and explain why it was unfair to flag it.
