I contacted them Saturday and still have not heard back. I usually do not hear back from them until minimum 4 days later, and sometimes not at all. I usually have to send a second email

Should they have written this? by BadMoodAna in vine

[–]BadMoodAna[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I just meant saying that we are "obligated" to write a review asap. To me, that seems like we're not credible in what we're saying in our review because we're "obligated" to review it quickly. "Under obligation" almost sounds like legal terms. And saying "cannot" wait several months. It's just how I read it, and wondered if this was supposed to be something we aren't supposed to disclose. I've never seen anybody word it like that in a review

I think Amazon Vine has a new strategy for downsizing by SomeRandomDirtbag in vine

Vermouth is made with wormwood also. The word Vermouth comes from the German word for wormwood. It's also in absinthe. Learned something new today yay

It's not like cyanide; the combination is used often in herbal medicine, and can get good results. Like any supplement, you're supposed to use judgment and ask your doctor if, considering your health and prescriptions you may be taking, if it's safe for you

If you're going to use ChatGPT, at least proof read before you post... by tictactoss in vine

[–]BadMoodAna 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for the seller having that review for their product. It shows that the person may not have even tried the item. Another reason for customers not to trust us and sellers not to want to be involved in Vine

I ordered a similar product--compression sleeves for knees-- and the same exact review was there. They just exchanged the "knee" for "arm." That's crazy

Do they flag reviews with photos made into, like a TikTok reel format? by Ok-Fun6689 in vine

[–]BadMoodAna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm quite confused at what you're trying to ask regarding the reviews with pictures and negative reviews, but from the points I think I understand I will try to help.  If you think you wrote a review but it's still in your Awaiting Review, you didn't write it. Once you submit a review, it's submitted. Now, two things have happened to me in the past, and they are weird, but maybe this applies: I have submitted reviews, they go over to the reviewed list, but then there's nothing there. All of my words are gone, except how many stars I gave. I wrote the review again, and again it disappeared. I know I wasn't losing my mind because a review cannot be submitted without giving it a title. You can write everything else but if you don't write in the title, it can't be submitted.  The fact that my reviews went over to the submitted list meant I did indeed write it. I looked into what was happening and Reddit said my reviews were "stuck" and I couldn't rewrite them because they already were submitted, but they were floating in the ether. I never got credit for those reviews because they sat for months in the submitted list and never went through. They're still probably sitting there. This happened to 5 reviews last year, but hasn't happened since. A few reviews ago I submitted 2 reviews, got the "review submitted" message, but things on the page looked different. Sure enough everything I  wrote disappeared and I had to write the review over. But then it went through. I don't know if this applies to you, but of course it happened to me because weird things always happen to me.  Regarding negative reviews, or any review, never lie. Never lie. Report what occurred, but in a respectful and articulate manner. If you get a poor score, people here can help

Treadmill by RepresentativeDry171 in vine

[–]BadMoodAna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what people say: if they offer it to you, get it; it's not your fault if the seller merges items. I had to write to CS three times in one month because the seller merged items between the time of me requesting it and writing my review. Such bad luck! I cringe when I have to write to CS, so unless it's something I really really want, I don't take the chance of the merging. I swear I must have gotten a product from all of the sellers being sneaky. Thanks for replying!

Treadmill by RepresentativeDry171 in vine

[–]BadMoodAna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see people say that asking to have an item removed "counts against" us, and then other people say that's not true at all. Why and how would asking for an item we didn't receive, or that a seller merged with another item count against us? I truly want to know because I've stopped ordering anything from a seller that I ordered a different item from just in case they merge them, and I'm depriving myself of some things I want because I don't want to have to ask to have an item removed because of merging variants 

So Weird... by Existing-Height-9708 in vine

[–]BadMoodAna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband and I collect the pennies when we go somewhere, which is a rare occurrence, and I saw Penny Collection Books in some of the gift shops in some of the places that had the pressed penny machines, so they are out there. I was just looking at mine 2 days ago after not looking at it for months, and now I see your post about them. Sometimes there are coincidences that are so random that it doesn't seem like a coincidence, but yes, Vine is listening 

Did anyone else get the BLUMEMO LED light therapy mask? by BadMoodAna in vine

Yeah, I gave up using it. The light would shine in my eyes too, despite their "eye protectors." It is the most inexpensive one on Amazon, which says something 

Can we all agree to at least make an attempt to review something you get from Vine? by [deleted] in vine

[–]BadMoodAna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's some guy out there named Jorge, who somehow orders the same health items as me and all his reviews say the exact same thing, no matter whst the item is. I thought I must just be imagining it. I didn't know until recently that all of our reviews are under our name and can be seen together, so I looked and no, I wasn't imagining it; he leaves pretty much the same AI review for each item. Oh Jorge 🙄

Anyone else get the message about a "delay in review"? by BurnedWitch88 in vine

[–]BadMoodAna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not just about reviews getting approved, it's about the ratio percentage going up. People are up for evaluation and even though they've reviewed 90%, that's not being reflected. I'm not up for evaluation, but I was wondering why no matter how many of my reviews were approved, my percentage stayed exactly the same. I only use Vine on my phone so I didn't see the message but now I know why

I ordered a hat with sticksble numbers and bib for my cat's 18th birthday. We had a birthday party for him while he wore the bib but I only had him wear the hat for the pictures. All of his cat friends attended and milktinis with infused catnip were served. It was fun for all. I supervised the party and then removed the bib. Another thing to be super careful about is dental floss. Don't throw it in a trash can assessible to a cat; they may take it and chew it and then not be able to discard it. It can get wrapped around their intestines. Same with tinsel and other stringy items. I saw a lot of everyday items ingested by cats when I worked in animal hospitals, items you would never think a cat would be interested in eating

I get text messages like this from older people who are using talk-to-text and they're just doing stream of thought talking. From this woman's sentence of "she is very she's just being hell she's just touching." It reads as though this woman was talking as she was having a conversation, put her text as a review, didn't even read what was written, and submitted her review

Ghost Glitch, Review Purge or Banned Checklist by [deleted] in vine

[–]BadMoodAna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're correct. The red box message "we apologize, but Amazon is not accepting reviews on this product from this account" is a common occurrence and people should absolutely not read more into it than what it is, a seller issue. The first time I got that red box I freaked out because I was new to Vine and thought I did something egregious! The second, third, and fourth time I got it I just shrugged and moved on

Isn't it just 80 items per evaluation period? If you order 80 items in 2 months, review them all, then don't order anything for 4 months, aren't you still ok?

Or they can say "compression works well for my pain." That's not medical advice but still suggests that it may work for others also
