Reviews Fortnight

Am I missing something?? I submitted 3 reviews in December and none were posted. What is the fairness in awarding escort of month when all reviews by genuine reviewers are not posted ???. No response to 2 emails /messages to E-I , enquiring as to why. Not the 1st occasion in past year with same experience. Begining to smell a rat with the review system.!!! Hope I'm wrong!!!!

You're not far from it... I've been told by many reviewers that they've submited a review and it never appeared.... Only thing you can do is to submit it again.. and again and again - untill it goes trough.
Unfortunately the focus is on something else.

Personally i think, that all we need to focus on is the genuinity of reviews and them to be posted when submited. No need for milions of unnecesary features like shiny badges etc. if they are given to people with no credibility and not given to others who deserve them...............

NBT was one of the harshest critits of the review system prior to becoming the review mod and often complained about this kind of thing. But when has was the one posting them he saw for himself thet some reviews were just not submitted sucessfully. If you submit a review and it is not posted after a few days, I suggest you contact Sarah, Ad Staff or Ric who is also helping out, and they may be able to advise you or help you. If a review is sucessfully submitted then it is posted.

This has come up loads of times before and it must be a problem, but as yet cannot be sorted, so the advice is, type the main text of your review in a notepad or word doc before you start to submit your review and then copy and paste the text in at the approporiate time. This seems to help a bit. For some reason, the review submision system doesn't like people to hang around when typing out the main part of the review and seems to time out or something unbeknownst to the reviewer so they think, or are told that the review has been submitted, which may not be the case.........

Bottom line, accept that you review was sucessfully submitted when you see it appear........

Behind the scenes we are upgrading these message boards right now. This has a lot to do with reviews as reviews are like a bolt-on to these message boards. It is a major upgrade of message board software and we are expecting it to take 3 weeks, so launching week starting 26th Jan. Our techs are really looking at issues like missing reviews now and trying to find a solution for this new version. We are thinking of emailing each review to an admin or suchlike at same time it is submitted to try to see if there are ones going missing. It really is a mystery to me and I've had a number of nerds look at it in recent years.

My last 2 reviews (submitted pre 13/01) are not posted yet (missing again?) . Just because they question the verified photos fiasco should not mean they are not postes?
