WTF- I got spam on a product review...

My brother just bought like 3 shorts and 2 shirts, bindings, and a snowboard SS. He got them yesterday. Anyway he told me he was putting up reviews for them, which he did. And before today I didnt have any spam on messages or product reviews. Know I do. Soo whats up? Im here saying hes worn all of these clothes publicly and has gotten to know what they are like, so why did one of his reviews get a spam? Because hes put in full amount of review points per day? I kinda find that BS. Just asking if a mod can take that away cuz it's not right. I don't, nor my brother, (who is 22), abuse the point systems. We write reviews on things we have, on things we have experienced.  PLEASE TAKE THIS SPAM AWAY. 

Ok and another thing... Ive been with sierra snowboard for almost a freaking year. I can understand it happening to a lift op, but not someone who has been dedicated to SS for a long time. Ive bought all my boards, coats, pants, and boots from SS. Kinda BS thank you!

yeah that happend to one of my friends too.  It really sucks.

actually you can post a rewiew on something you want to own, if you tell the public why you want to own it. anyways, good luck guys.

that happened to me a few times.  it just happens.

I had three of my reviews of products i used to use get flagged even though they were legit and i have not written reviews shorter than 2 sentences at least. Now i cant even go back and look at the review to see what i did wrong.

i think i saw that review. it said "my new favorite shorts"

-just because you own the item does not make the review 'legit'
-not everything needs a review (like the sierra gift card)

the reviews are there to help people make an informed decision on purchasing gear. if you have nothing worthy to post that you think will help, don't post a review. its pretty simple.

remember that if you let others use your account, be it to write a review or post in threads, it's your responsibility.


"Things to consider when writing a review

1. The snowboard community will be reading your review and will be able to reply.
2. Be detailed in your review, let people know your style of riding and how you experienced this snowboard.
3. Be honest in your review, the more helpful the review is, the higher ranked it will be.
4. Bad reviews can be marked as spam. When reviews are marked as spam you will lose member points.
5. Please don’t include any html tags, or links to other retailers.
6. Proof read your reviews, your reviews are a reflection of yourself."

"Write a review:
Please share your experiences with the products you have used, purchased or demoed. Let us all know what you think. Spread the love or the dirt; nothing beats first hand experience. You can post up to three a day. Reviewing products with irrelevant reviews, or un-insightful reviews for points can, and will, be deleted resulting in a loss of those points. If a review is flagged 5 times by the community as spam, the review will be deleted along with the associated points."

The same has happened to us. The flagging system is very flawed, arbitrary and jedgmental. Just the let the reviews stand on their own merits.

So let me get this straight he wore 3 different pairs of shorts and 2 shirts in one day and got to know what they are like that fast?  Something aint adding up Ginger.
