Can't leave stars on review
ad
Hello all, seem to have an issue. I have enough karma but the option to leave stars on my reviews isn't there and I know the review is pointless without them. Has anyone else experienced this?

It almost seem as IF you simply want to leave all 5 stars for each column is the vibe this is giving off. Not at all implying that's what's exactly going on here, but there's been an influx of individuals posting 5 star reviews left and right one after another and it's making the review system difficult to trust. Distinguishing which reviews are legitimate and which is solely put up to appease the source for the free products. It ruins the integrity and authenticity of the site. Again, not saying this is you or was your intention...simply speaking my mind regarding how it appears.
Also...your review is past the 6 month alloted period, as evident by the TD pic you posted of the product. (10 months ago) Different batches vary and being that old makes it irrelevant.
I gotcha. I appreciate the feedback. I worded it kinda weird I know. It has been a while since I've visited and was just trying to be upstanding with source since they were good to me. I totally get what your saying. People want the truth. Sorry for any confusion. I will pay attention next time before I'm quick to post. Thanks man
No worries man, it's the internet and sometimes, what we type doesn't always exactly come out in the way we intended to get it across. I understand and no biggie. +1 for handling it like a man and acknowledging.
Thanks man I appreciate it
Well the thing that I'm noticing is alot of srcs are somewhat pressuring members into giving 5 stars or what have you. Not sure if that was your situation because you mentioned that wasn't your intention. But I do agree with Greg on the site being watered down a bit because of an abundance of perfect scores. Lol I was even pressured awhile back into giving a perfect review for an src. The damn dude was aggressive as hell! Hope that helped.
Yeah wasn't my intention, but thinking about it, when leaving a review for a promo, you are more inclined into leaving a good one because you have mindset they hooked u up for free/perfect review in return. instead of an honest review of the product to see how it truly is working, so I guess u kinda feel obligated to return favor.
Yea that happened to me. Product I received had a minor issue with it and src basically said product was free so there shouldn't be an issue.
"SELECT THE MOST ACCURATE STATEMENT *" is the star rating for each category, or does that also not show up for you?
Yes that shows up, so just select the option which is the best to do a 5 star? In past there were actual star scale to click on 1-5 in addition to the statement.
DO NOT LOOK FOR THE 5 STAR ANSWER
What good is a review site if all you fanboys give 5 stars - what's the good in all sources having 5 star reviews???
SELECT THE MOST ACCURATE STATEMENT. Period.
That's not what I was implying. I don't see the star scale to leave stars at all. I was saying the bottom statement would be equivalent to 5 star? Didnt say I was gonna leave 5 star review tho
The stars are not relevant, so why ask the question? Just answer the question truthfully, where it is in the lineup or how many or which ones equals a 5-star rating doesn't matter.
Because obviously I didn't know if they did matter or not, hence why the question was asked. Don't gotta be rude about it bro just a simple question.
I'm not being rude, I'm being direct. The stars obviously matter to the source. I acknowledge your statement above, "you are more inclined into leaving a good one because you have mindset, they hooked u up for free/perfect review in return. "
However, you are also wrong. You are selling yourself short. Your review has value. It took you time to write it, you're putting your name and rep behind it. Do you not have enough integrity and pride to value your review as worth say, $200, or $400? The gear is NOT free unless you're putting a zero value on yourself.
You are a feared restaurant critic that can make or break them. Why are you presenting yourself as a grateful beggar?
What I 'm describing is the mindset you should have as an eroids member. You are not a grateful consumer begging for coupons.
