Credit for a review

[tbone2u]

One reviewer on this board who's handle is "money" has gotten credit for many reviews that have only one word in the ROS or maybe one sentence. How does one word qualify for a credible review?
I think this is a fair question as many of us would like to know the answer.

you have any links?

Here is "money" http://www.eccie.net/member.php?u=33507

He has 18 reviews, some with nothing in ROS, some with one word, some with one sentence, some with a very short paragraph.....as for as I can tell he has gotten credit for all of them. This isn't fair to the guys who do write reviews.
Here are some samples:

Good question, bones. I was wondering the same thing but just never took the time to ask.

Here is another one that makes no sense: http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=210887

Tbone, I have to agree with you. Even though I'm new here and probably don't have a lot of credibility, the "reviews" that this person has written come across like someone that is advertising for the agencies.

Actually guys, he has not gotten credit for those. He can write as many as he wants but that doesn't mean he will receive credit. On you guys's end you won't be able to tell because the site doesn't post anything saying the status for credit, but the remarks from other members in addition to the lack of information in it should be suffice to let everyone know it wasn't approved. When a review isn't approved the member gets a pm explaining why, now why this member hasn't gotten the hint is beyond us.

So Mojo you are saying each members review counter just counts reviews written and doesn't distinguish whether they were approved or not?

[tbone2u]

Good question oilfieldscum. I always thought the review count we can see was approved reviews not "attempts". This guy hasn't written one review that should have passed muster.

That's what its looking like sir. If you have suggestion, there's a forum in the main page where you can submit an idea. I think your on to something good with that question.

On a positive note to that I guess is you can click on the counter and see how uninformative the review is.

Thanks Mojo
From now on I won't put much stock in the review count posted (not that I really did anyway)

Plus one. If it says you did a review it should be because you did a review.

[Guest021824]

He didn't get credit for any of the reviews he wrote. That is just a running count of what he posted. He paid for premium access and BCD access. His reviews mean nothing but they are listed so a potential provider can view them and decide not to see him.......as well she should..........

[tbone2u]

So the shit reviews just show for him? or all the others that write shit reviews as well?

I have a suggestion for what is worth, and usually from me it is something useless, but this one may pass muster. Instead of a review that does not pass as an actual review, instead of it being listed as such, list it as a post instead of a review, which in reality, is what it is. Just some food for thought for the mods, and powers that be.
