Uh wtf? Reviews did not transfer over to new site now I’m being penalized ??
ad
There is a BUG in the system that totally truncated my review AFTER THE FACT, and after it was posted. I wrote a very detailed review of the products. You can see this issue with almost every old review after the site update. This is not right or justified to penalize when the system itself deleted a large section of my review. Then you got review monitors ignorant to this fact that ding me for it on a review that is over 1 year old ???
Just check out this page and many others after and before it https://www.eroids.com/reviews/teamroids.to?page=13
I’m on page 15
All the review section for product effectiveness and results have been removed … the only thing left is just the product listing.

AnonI was wondering! One of my reviews a couple years ago was mere sentences. I typically write large paragraphs…I was very confused..
@killroy you're correct, Product Effectiveness text wasn't migrated properly (at all) to the new system, I actually wasn't aware of that until now!
I restored your karma.
Votes are being deleted too, this could really screw up the rankings.
Votes are deleted when review is flagged "not a review" or when review is deleted.
Votes older than 6 months, don't count towards rank.
Appreciate you looking into this! And thanks for keeping the site running for so long . It’s a great asset for all of us.
AnonThumbs up to you both. I saw the long string of reviews in a row all flagged down in the link you posted. Something is wrong there for sure. Props to you for figuring out what was wrong and finding that issue.
Appreciate it bud! The first post as you are probably also experienced with is the exogenous hormone reaction lol 75mg proviron ? The superpohylogical test levels ? The Masteron !”? Loll once I got over that hormonal trigger, I started to look into the root of the problem, I was actually hoping to find my old review on archive to show as evidence of a detailed review but as fate would have it, it wasn’t archived and I tried multiple snap shots to see if I can find it. But all is well now, I apologize if I came across as anything beyond cordial.
AnonNo apology needed you were cool headed the whole time. I saw you edited some stuff while we were talking to touch it up, you were still being cool the whole time. I thought maybe you misunderstood some website updates, turns out you found a website issue and got it to the Admin's attention.
AnonNah bro. The reviews you posted that you did not rate or didn't have enough karma to rate no longer show up in your list of reviews. This I am sure of. If you look you will see all the reviews that show up in your review list show your rating, 10/10 or whatever you rated for stars. They are all still there the ones that were reviews without voting stars just don't list in your review list. Reviews that were flagged for violating the reviews rules might not show up but I am not sure on this one.
I rate all my reviews and certainty have enough karma. Some mod or user flagged some OLD reviews as being incomplete like a bunch of them in a row for the same source…. but I’m pointing out that my review in it’s entirety wasn’t transferred to the new site, and I’m betting it’s the case with most of the others that were flagged. Like half my text is entirely missing. Check out page 15 & 16 on the link I posted above … I also think I found the root of the problem in my follow up posts below.
AnonI am aware that the format of the reviews has changed since the website has been updated.
As you correctly stated: "Items ordered" and "Product effectiveness and experience" were 2 sections in a review before the website update. After the website update those 2 sections were merged to 1 section called "PRODUCTS, EFFECTIVENESS AND RESULTS"
I do know for a fact from speaking with BFG that reviews that did not have stars rated do not show up in a member's list of reviews since the website update, but are still posted on the sources' reviews. I have seen this myself after BFG told me.
As to if reviews that were flagged for not meeting review standards or breaking review rules...I'm not sure, but those might not show up in a members list of reviews.
Well I got a warning today for a incomplete review and got dinged -2 karma. So there’s that
AnonGreg (Mod) made a post 2 months ago about poorly written reviews. And encouraged everyone to downvote them.
https://www.eroids.com/forums/general/general-talk/writing-reviews.
Reviews breaking the rules can also be flagged now by anyone to be reviewed by Mods or Admin.
The Admin and Mods have made a great effort to clean up the website and improve the community.
I bet you’ll see this issue on other sources too, as you can see many reviews on this source with this same exact problem in succession around the same time that have not been flagged (yet?) Gee you guys think this maybe a system error ??? I bet BFG has a mirror of the old site and you can compare the old review versus what was transferred over. Just a thought.
As a matter of fact I went ahead and looked at my old reviews with other sources placed with the older version site and this appears to be a recurring issue. Please take this into consideration, Before you go flagging all my reviews. As many of them received additional karma, and that certainly wasn’t because I just simply listed the product I ordered.
After doing further research using the wayback machine on archive.org, I believe I found the root of the problem. The old site had two sections for product review:
(1) Items ordered
(2) Product effectiveness and experience
The new site merged those two sections, but only the text from Items ordered was transferred over, the text in product effectiveness and experience was omitted . So when you go back and start digging for old reviews on the new site, a portion is completely missing, leading to the impression of an incomplete review. I’d appreciate if I can get my lost karma restored and this problem mitigated.
Kind Regards,
Killroy
AnonUnless you lost karma as a result of breaking rules or being negged then you have not lost karma. The way karma is distributed has changed since the website updated. We were all scratching our heads about this. BFG made a post explaining how the new karma system works now. I will look for that link and post it, gimmie a sec
EDIT: here is the link that explains how karma is distributed since the website update
https://www.eroids.com/forums/eroids.com/website-feedback/new-site-quest...
Users were granted when karma was being recalculated and distributed:
1 Comment karma for every 10 comments.
1 Review karma for 5 reviews.
1 Pic karma for 5 pics.
1 Forum karma for 5 forum posts.
1 Group karma for 5 group posts.
1 Karma for 1 cycle log.
1 karma for 10 news posts.
Like I stated before, I lost karma.-2
The review was not transferred in it’s entirety to the new site.
The review was judged after the fact in result of this error. I pretty much laid out everything pretty clearly. I would like for a MOD or BFG to weigh in on this. It’s pretty cut and dry.
AnonI understand. You can tag a mod or other users so they get notification to this post by adding @ infront of their user name. Good day. I hope I was able to help some.
Thank you, you have a good day as well. @Greg @BFG , your assistance is greatly appreciated.
