We need a Review Copy Process

Like Do, Don't and guidelines maybe.
 
Once we've written these up, we'll either add it in as its own thread here or we'll add a new chapter to The Trading Post rules.

ok jokes aside
i do agree on this

To me this is a sale, a trade
just not with your body money but rather, with your opinion on it.
We have a rule saying fake reviews are a no-no
but what about people who never actually give the feedback?
to me, that is a scam.
That is something I've always meant to take care of. I see it as being similar to scamming if someone takes a review copy and doesn't provide a review. The conundrum with enforcing this before was that you can't force them to leave feedback after that, because they might just provide negative feedback out of spite.

I do have a couple of ways to go about this. One is to create a list of users who are banned from accepting review copies in the Beta Testing Hub.

This would just be a simple list of members who have abused this feature and are no longer allowed to use it. I could even take it a step further and ban those people from even viewing the section using a custom usergroup).

What do you think about this idea? If I proceed with going this route, it will be fully explained in the guidelines for review copies as well.
