+ 25 Open letter: Fair review rankings

ad

A source flags his review with these comments.

I'd like to report what I believe is an unfair rating. It's about the review from 'exfanboy' The reviewer explicitly stated their experience was "perfect", yet intentionally left a 4/5 rating, not because of any issue with our products or service, but because they believe moderators are skeptical of 5-star reviews.
You can see his message yourself: "exfanboy:

No, personally I think it was all perfect. But Greg/the mods always talk crap about reviews being nothing but 5 stars. So I don’t give out all 5s anymore even though I had the perfect experience"

We work very hard to satisfy our customers, and it's discouraging to receive a lower score despite delivering exactly what the customer says was a perfect experience. Ratings should reflect the actual experience with the vendor, not perceptions about the forum's review system. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

First off a 3/5 and 4/5 is a very good review. Look how much you guys spoiled these snowflakes. You turned them all into cucks. A pox on your houses for allowing this to happen. Bravo for "exfanboy" stepping up and adulting these spoiled kids.

The reviews flat line to mean absolutely nothing if everyone is is ignoring the language attached to the stars. Review rankings should be stoic, unbiased, critical and honest.

The free text boxes in the review is where you can express yourself freely (following the rules and guidelines) TD pics is another area where you can express gimp like devotion not to mention the sources discussion page.

My heart bleeds for this simp of a source. So here’s my call to action. Do not spoil these children. Cowboy up and start adulting. Make the 3 and 4 star review the standard and the 5/5 ranking the exception. Imagine how hard they'll cream their pants when you do give out a 5/5.

It's scarcity that creates value. You guys have over printed the 5 and devalued it so much it means absolutely nothing.
Let's change that.

There's a few sources on here that will threaten you if you don't give a good review...all 5 stars...like pmroids does. Fuck him..it...her..she...they....

Yeah most people leave a 5 if they get a promo order mostly..I find the proof in the comment section plus if the member seams genuine. It's a slippery slope so here is something you all call can give 5 stars too..

Yea don’t hate on Jane Fonda the dude is living his best life and giving zero fucks. Something a lot more people on here should be practicing. Like press said he got a lot of hate initially but then the community realized he really don’t give a fuck and then that hate turned to respect

All my Vietnam buddies would take more offense to the “Jane Fonda”’name compared to the life style.

The actual Jane Fonda is not highly liked among the Vietnam veteran crowd. She was a treasonous cunt, and cost the lives of many Americans. Fuck that cunt. There is special place for her in hell.

Yes I am well aware of her shenanigans. Just used a name that was tagged to the 80s aerobics craze. Good thing I'm not on a Vietnam vet site.

Go with Olivia Newton John instead or Richard Simmons. Both are wonderful women vets don't have an issue with.

Janefonda's picture

I understand that Jane has caused controversy and is still bat shit crazy. It's a name. My father didn't have any issue with her name after being deployed 3 times to nam and 1 of those was in tet 68. He didn't give a crap about her or her name nor do i. If we are triggered by a profile that has a made up name like im hoping everyone here has then where does that leave us? With the wihnig liberals? My goodness. If you want me to change my name for.the benefit of 1 person you are the boss. I have no say here. But I will say this.goes to the core of the problem in our country that just a name can trigger someone or offends someone. What????? What are we seriously talking about here. Is our county so soft now that a name triggers an emotional reation. If thats the case then I thought alittle more of my country.

It was a joke. It wasn't meant to trigger you.

Janefonda's picture

I owe you and everyone an apology. I apologize for.coming across foaming at the mouth. If the name does cause any problems I'd be glad to change it. Please accept my apology. My 1st post was just meant to bring laughter and fun into the site. Now I'm gonna go beat 1 off. I need it bad.

I really don't see what the issue is here - I always assumed Jane Fonda was in reference to the workout track '5,6,7,8 and BAAACCKK!!!

Jane Fonda rolls off the tongue alot easier than Suzanne Somers.

I'll add this - vote how you feel is correct. Not what administration would like to see, what sources request, or users expect.

Note also that if you have a source in your PMs asking you to reconsider your vote or change you review - that is illegal.
All review disputes should be done with a moderator present, as per our review dispute rule: https://www.eroids.com/src-rules#dispute

Petecastiglione's picture

Yea that’s what happens. They hound you into telling you you’re wrong ab your review

Greg's picture

To be clear, "vote how you feel is correct" is my point. Not to be pressured by the sources. (Or me). A distinction that may have gotten lost in this discussion.

randomdude's picture

Yes. This and only this.

I absolutely agree, the reviews should be absolutely unbiased, however, It Is silly to give something a lower score than what was earned. The perception of others, for example, the moderator should be irrelevant to the score you provide. Perfect means there is absolutely nothing that could have been better, if we are to use that language five stars would be appropriate. The one place sources often want a higher ranking, where it is unearned is for shipping. If something is shipped and you receive it in the expected timeline, that's four stars not five. Five stars are for shipments that arrive earlier than expected, If my memories is correct. There are a lot of inaccurate reviews, specifically for that measure.

sandman3698's picture

Right, I've kinda struggled with this because if a source says t/a is 7-14, and I get my pack 7-9 days, thats a 5 in my book. If communication is automated and keeps me informed during the process... not sure how much more I can ask. If the products I buy are whats advertised, free sample or not, again.. But then everyone acts like giving 5 star reviews is fucked up.

Greg's picture

What does 4 stars say, or 3 for that matter? And why rate or review at all if the rank is always a 5? Is the number one source the best or just the richest?

sandman3698's picture

4 star would be 10-14 days. 3 star is with 4 days past. It feels like your asking us all to inherently be on the same page with something thats very subjective. If you want us to review a certain way based on specific criteria, you gotta let us know what that is.

Are you shitting me?

Delivery and Packaging
Select the most accurate statement
Nothing arrived / Got Scammed
Missing Items / Broken or unusable
Arrived later than expected
Arrived on time
Arrived sooner than expected

On time, i.e. within the sources declared turn around time. E.g. eta 5 to 14 days in that window is on time not that you expected 14 and it came in 5

What part of that is unclear?

sandman3698's picture

"Sooner than expected" not "sooner than advertised t/a"

Play it your way fanboy. That's the rational the sources are telling you, not the intent

sandman3698's picture

I'll take that as a win, since resorting to ad hominem and putting words in my mouth/assuming my thought or intent means you have no real argument against my point.
