Earn them yourself, or just quit wow. Go boarding instead. Totally worth it!

Originally posted by Commissar I am beginning to wonder if even doing product reviews is worth it anymore.  Just looked at my points in my profile and found that I am at 6/10 spam for reviews.  I am not sure how a few of them got on there.  What is wrong with the following reviews:<div id="review_pros">                                     Name: 2011 K2 Raygun Snowboard Men's Skill:  Intermediate Use:  Groomed,High Speeds,Off Trail,Powder,Ungroomed Pros:  Easy To Ride, Responsive, Light                                                                        After about 9 years of riding a Liquid Trip 60, just about anything would be a worthwhile upgrade. After reading reviews for hours and hours I decided on the K2 Raygun 156. I couldn't be happier with my choice. First run was at Winter Park, CO. Got on the board and everything felt so natural. Easy to turn, holds good at speed, it gave me a lot of confidence. Continued the day through some deep powder, some moguls, groomed, and ungroomed runs. It was great on everything. Never took it to a terrain park, but did hit some natural jumps and the board response was great.

I guess it is because people expect a review to be 5 pages with really detailed describtion. Me myself, are perfectly fine with how the "thing" worked for you :) The K2 Raygun; How you explained where you went and were you did'nt test it, and what you did to balace for the "did not do's". Your previous experience with similar products and so on. I like this short review's, they kinda got what I need to know. I do not need the 5 pages with research, and "rip-apart's". I guess you could make a own topic; Commisar short reviews. And put all your reviews in there. You will not get as much points, but you can still help fellow boarders as me out :)

My english isn't my strongest side, so sorry for that.

Originally posted by Commissar Thanks, I am at a point where points aren't a big driver anymore, I have all new equipment and don't need replacements for some time.  Was just surprised to see that much spam for reviews, and don't want to get my account locked for when I do need to get replacement bindings or eventually a board.  Maybe the next review will be a novel! lol.

Haha! :) Just go on mate, I really find thoose short review's helpful when I search for different gear :) I rather read a bunch of small ones, then the big ones, with very detailed "can't understand" reviews. But IDK this forum well, but you could try to PM one of the adminstrators and ask for some of them removed maybe?

Originally posted by Commissar I am not sure how a few of them got on there.  What is wrong with the following reviews:

I don't think I personally would flag any of those reviews, I might say the binder review was not helpful, but not enough for the spam hammer. But my guess would be just from reading those reviews, it comes off as you personally do not have that much time on the stuff you are reviewing. It seems you got the product, rode said product for a day, then reviewed it. At least...that's how it comes off to me..

Name: 2008 Bern Brentwood Snowboard Helmet Men's Pros:  very light, Cons:  size runs small, Experience:   Bought this helmet and its a bit lighter than my old RED Skycap, however the size also runs smaller so I cannot use it, Red medium fits great, this medium put a lot of pressure on my head. They also make this helmet in a summer version, which is what got shipped to me, so be careful and make sure you get the winter version. I do not have any board shops around me, so online was the only way to go. "Good Binding" 3/1/2011 Helpful Review?   (0) Yes    (0) No Name: 2008 Burton Cartel 2008 Pros:  Toe Cap was GREAT, Highback felt nice, Easy to latch Cons:  Strap release is different, Flex:  mid Experience:   I rode a Burton Jussi with these Bindings. Coming from my Nidecker bindings these things were simply amazing! I loved the toe cap, didn't pressure the pinky toe like my old bindings. Strap release was a bit confusing at first, but once I found it they released real good. It may have been his settings but I found myself constantly riding on my toes! Overall a good binding, but I think I prefer my new bindings 2011 K2 Formula over these.

^ Those two haven't logged in recently. Their crappy reviews are quite old, from 2009 and 2010.

Poorly written reviews, can these be considered SPAM?

http://trusnow.com/profile_reviews.asp?pf=275659

"I'm so close to 1500 points... just a few more reviews...." echoed through her head as she pounded out a couple of crappy reviews.

Really nice reviews... well, not really.

Originally posted by nuggetuconn Originally posted by sideways99 Really nice reviews... well, not really. http://www.trusnow.com/profile_reviews.asp?pf=217083 Dude what's your issue?

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".

Originally posted by nuggetuconn 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.  Stop trolling bro. Seriously

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.

Originally posted by nuggetuconn <a href="http://hotnerdgirl.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/double-facepalm1.jpg">Sigh</a> 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....

"Rules are the rules, guides lines are the guide lines"

Originally posted by nuggetuconn Ok comrade. Oh batman west you're so witty. Where do you come with these phrases?

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.

First, I want to thank Sintexo for assisting me in responding to my question in a kindly way.

 More stinky spam.  They are hittin it hard tonight.

Poor reviews and a non-photo entry in the Funny pics thread... 2 strikes, no balls.

Originally posted by ctoma 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...).

 

Eat shit and die spammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
