You will be a promo whore if you review and vote. JK. Don't do it over 8 times or you will get all karma taken and put on promo whore list. Even if you review stuff you bought it still counts for the promo whore list. So I am going to try and help you out. So you have to pick and choose who you review and vote for. I am not trying to be sarcastic this is what I was told today after I made a complaint last night about a source the next day my Karma was taken away for being a promo whore. Last I saw it written by a mod it was 12 reveiws in a year but now it is 8 no matter if you bought it or got in on a promo. You seem new here so I will help you with these rules. So if you buy alot of get promos you have to know which ones you really want to review and vote for or you can get karma taken away. I am saying it twice because these are how it works I guess now. Am I upset yes because I did everything I was suppose to do. Leave honest reveiws no matter what. If I had a problem I always tell them the source first. I use them an apporitate time and make my review like I promised. The funny thing is I PM the mod last night to talk about a source then less then 12 hours later my Karma is gone and called a promo whore. To me it doesn't seem like it was just a coincidence. Hell the last source I reviewed was a paid one about 2 weeks ago and was asked by PM by 3 other sources to join promos for reviews.

You can review but not rate. You’re only one point off which sucks for the source (assuming it’s a good rating) but if you’re happy with everything you can visit the SI to share your experience. Just let people know how it worked or how it’s currently working for you. Doesn’t help the points in the rating scale but it does indeed help. You know what though? I think you can go and score them still after you receive your karma. Once you hit 7 go try to rate them. Pretty sure you can even though you’ve already reviewed. Just think there’s a time period... I’m not 100 on it though
