reviews of personal interest

I have just had my Cherish review deleted by Dooyoo as they are not allowing people to write reviews where they have a personal interest/gain.

I have no problem with that as I see their point of view and agree it can manipulate things (LIPOTRIM springs to mind).

If anyone else knows of people who have submitted their own reviews or promoted their own products, it may be of value to inform jared at dooyoo about them.

the tight arse swines

...opps forgot I'm a guide..

I mean, here here an open system for an honest society...what what.

I think that so long as the person writing it makes it clear that they have a commercial involvement and are therefore possibly a bit biased, I can't see why they shouldn't stay.

And don't get me started on that Lipotrim rubbish - I just wish the people who make the product would start a proper forum so we don't get all their users trying to use dooyoo for that purpose.

On balance I think, they are right. Review that promote your products etc. shouldn't be allowed.

I also think they are right but think it needs to be enforced failry along all lines so you guide type people may want to ensure that it is, then again, you may not.

carp site isn't it!

I think your review was removed as there was another one removed yesterday Angus, so it needs to be enforced consistently and if there was confusion about the ruling before, then it has been made clear to guides now.

On a very loosely related topic, the proprietor of the notorious place in Spain I wrote about has a habit of signing up to sites and writing her own review, pretending to be a guest. It's so funny as my sister and I can recognise her language from the emails etc, and the tonnes of her priceless comments on our reviews. Still it's light entertainment (although the review centre pulled ALL my reviews last week as they say it infringes their unique content term - which I didnt know they had)

So if you ever get a bad review Angus, that's always a thought . do you make soaps btw or buy them wholesale?

Thanks Helen.

All our soaps are handmade by bomb cosmetics and we pick them up fresh from the factory.

Have a large order in at the moment so have a lot of fresh ones to pick up next week.

After one in particular?

Nest time Angus send 'em to me and i'll post them.

Does this mean I can't post my review telling everybody how outstanding, perfect and simply flawless human being I am? That's not fair!

Berlioz, post it over...

but isnt that also factually inaccurate
