Are your reviews getting thrashed?

[jcranma]

I've just read that Eviltimes has been getting thousands of not helpful votes lately. Mine has been hit with over 2,000 not helpful clicks that increases one per day per review. I know that dinging an account with not helpful is not new, but to organize attacks to such extent?!

Is this happening to anyone else? If so, this is the thread to get some tips on what to do. Feel free to share some tips too.

The way I see it one can either:
1.) Continue reviewing (they want to punish you and by stopping they will get a "victory)
2.) stop reviewing
3.) go private
4.) ????? Feel free to make suggestions

Lol. Huh?

I think I've made quite a few points. Perhaps you're a little dense... Do you even know what circular reasoning is or have you just heard the term and throw it out when you're clearly losing a discussion? Let's review... time to put on your reading hat.

1. I told you specifically why I disagree with alliances pushing unworthy reviews up. Which you should re-read... because there's no moral authority, there's just common sense. I'm guessing you're a little lacking in that department.

2. I cited a specific case of a reviewer I think gets unjustly featured. This was after you requested it... and then tried to backtrack after I proved you were wrong that there was no proof of reviewers high up that have written questionably.

3. I called you on your semantics games and you resorted to name calling and insinuating that I like it when people are attacked.

The bottom line is that you're a fanatic and haven't displayed a lot of insight here. It doesn't matter how empirically I show you clear evidence that the system is being played (whether explicitly or not) because you've chosen your gut reaction over reason. Like someone who insists the sky is green, but refuses to look up to see they're wrong.

And this is the way these conversations always end.

O, you're such a cutey when you're all worked up. You remind me of my greatgrandpapa when he'd get all excited trying to convince people that Nixon was one of the good guys. He'd get all red in the face and it was just so precious. I miss him. Died of a stroke.

But maybe you're right. My ex tells me all the time that I should just shut up and enjoy it and not talk so much, which always get me into trouble. You're such a sweetheart explaining the rules to me! I wish that mean old Larry was as patient. He's just a slasher when it comes to explaining the finer points of Netflix. He just throws up those horrible looking spoiler labels onto things when he gets excited. Red does not go with everything! (He's a meanie. Are you friends? Watch your back.)

Maybe I should just watch more and talk less and use not so much bleach. Maybe it messes with my cognitive skills. teehee. You're girlfriends must be really proud of all that firmness. I'm just salivating over it! Technique is so important I think. Don't you? Maybe I'll call you when I get to LA. I'm flying out there in August. We can chat and you can tell me all about the important things. face-to-face. Kisses, my darling man.

[ColSlade1]

Who's worked up? I find you to be comically unable to look at this objectively and your ramblings to be quite amusing.

Come on out to LA. I'd love to see you. LOL.... is that supposed to be some sort of vague threat? Come get me internet tough guy.

Talk about getting worked up...

[Anna Clair]

Silly. I'm not worked up. I find you entertaining. Much more so than Larry. At least you can be chatty and mildly engaging. You amuse me. Kisses, my sweet old man.

[ColSlade1]

Okay... weird.

You remind me of the middle age lady who's still hitting the "clubs" and trying to lure young men back to her chambers...

[Anna Clair]

Alas, probably something we can blame on my current position in life. I'm in between the state of marriage and divorce. Maybe it just goes with the territory. Are you calling me a lonely old lady, Colonel? Lonely lady maybe, but never old. Never! teeheehee.

[ColSlade1]

Lol, wut?

I didn't start that group. And I'm pretty sure that I don't have any ilk... is there a cream you can use for that?

Angelic Protector... ha!... talk about delusions of grandeur.

[Janus]

This thread is very funny. Whoever is pretending to be Anna Clair is very entertaining, if only for her lack of brains. You called the guy out, he shows up and crushes you, and then your best comeback is to try to insult him. Weak.

[wowwee123]

Welcome to the group. Enjoy the show. Popcorn's on us.

Eviltimes and Pterosaur, thanks for the input. It seems like the best option is to continue writing reviews (with reposting as backup option). It's sad that what should have been a hobby and a feature to communicate with other who are into films should disintegrate into petty battle turfs.

[NJ's Own NG]

This is depressing. My reviews are getting trashed, too. I write them for me anyway, really. But it's a shame.
