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.

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.

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.

I’m looking into working on this one today. I’ll update the thread once I’m done.

I think this goes both ways honestly
I have been "offered" a review copy
told TaT would be 2 weeks, they take 2 months lol
Then on the flip slide, told 2 weeks but they never get back to me.
Yes, i'm complaining about a "freebie" not given but i still see it as a "trade" taking place
as much of a cunt i sound
if you make me waste time typing my details, my wants and needs and what not for your service/product, you better go thru with it.

I see it as a trade as well.
