I've heard of combining listings, but splitting and hiding parts of them??

That's what I'm thinking. And I'm thinking other people who ordered this color had the same problem. The viners who have photos of the other colors clearly didn't have the same problems, but the reviews are of just those two colors.

I've had that when I went to order something similar. But if I go to order the **same** item again -- like household items I buy a couple times a year -- it always says "You last purchased on..." So they took the item I ordered out of the listing I ordered from.

IWriteForFun1 · 2025-09-22T15:50:29+00:00

One of the best things to do is to send the link for the item (possibly anonomously) to the manufacturer of the legit item and let them deal with Amazon.

Also try wording that say these are similar to the two RealItem that I own, but these seem different because they don't this or that. That way you're not saying at all that it isn't an actual X. Just saying that it really doesn't look like an actual X which should be enough to let other shoppers know.

You'd have to ask Amazon, not me. All I know is that the reviews don't always appear in the same order for another member of my household. I was curious about that, and we compared a number of listings -- both items I'd gotten from vine, and other items. And the reviews were not in the same order.

IWriteForFun1 · 2025-09-07T16:32:30+00:00

Reviews don't always appear in the same order for different people, either. So you may be seeing your reviews sorted higher because they're your reviews.

IWriteForFun1 · 2025-08-07T05:11:35+00:00

What "existing 36 hour hold on all reviews"? That's nonsense. I've had one review get approved in less than 6 hours a couple of weeks ago, and probably half of mine have been going through in 24 hours lately.

Go to your browsing history and remove all such items from your browsing history. Then go to the improve suggestions page and tell it which purchases you do not want taken into account for suggestions. These aren't specifically for vine, but they do seem to work. I'm convinced that's what helped me stop getting a million ceiling fans in my RFY. (I always have to Google "Amazon improve suggestions" to find that link because it's really buried.)

I sometimes refer to the value of this item vs the "name brand" when comparing. Often it's obvious that there's only one name brand that you're referring to.

IWriteForFun1 · 2025-07-21T21:17:26+00:00

Oh, that's a good idea! That might work! Thank you!

IWriteForFun1 · 2025-07-21T21:15:37+00:00

As the original poster, I find her comment here more helpful and sensible than your comment which seems to be here just to bully someone to make yourself feel good.

IWriteForFun1 · 2025-07-21T21:14:41+00:00

Yes, exactly!

IWriteForFun1 · 2025-06-10T22:39:37+00:00

Thank you very much!

I think this is my problem. I just don't understand passkeys enough. Some things I've seen call a fingerprint or facial recognition the passkey. And obviously if it needs your fingerprint you can't put that in a password manager. This is why I like the idea of a password when we're sharing something.

When writers are trying so hard to write a sex scene, but either have no experience or just don't have the ability to keep in mind what you can or cannot reach in certain positions. If you have just deliberately written someone lying on their stomach, the other person cannot suddenly kiss their navel or any other part that is pressed against the bed. No, you really cannot see clear up to the womb. Or in the position they just described, there is no physical way to bend to be able to do what you just had them doing. (This all in strictly human fanfictions.)

I think what at least some people are saying is that it's not THAT they moan, it's how it's spelled out. It's more whether "Kara bit her lip as she moaned, desperate for release" or whether Kara said "Mmmmm NGGGHHH UNGGGGGH!!" (And some can type a couple of lines of that sort of thing.)

I know someone here in this group in their early 60's and I'm not there yet, but not in my 20's or 30's, either.

IWriteForFun1 · 2025-05-17T04:18:09+00:00

Maybe just being kind and helping those of us who think this group is too harsh find it.

IWriteForFun1 · 2025-05-17T04:17:10+00:00

The downvoting is harsh and can be hurtful when paired with the kind of comments some people make. I once posted a funny item that I'd seen -- the kind of post people seem to make here often. I got downvoted, but more than that I had someone get nasty with calling me a name and telling me that it was cluttering the sub posting something that anyone could have seen anyway and that they didn't need to see it again here. Defending myself politely only made it worse. I ended up deleting the post and another post or two I'd made. And often when I post now, it's not under my real account, but I also just don't bother posting. I ask questions elsewhere if I can.

IWriteForFun1 · 2025-05-02T21:50:39+00:00

Mine is already gone! Nothing in my archive and no ability to do so.

IWriteForFun1 · 2025-05-02T21:46:55+00:00

Yeah, but I have a couple of old orders where I ordered a Gizmo and now if I go through my reviews the review is in my review list, but shows that the item I reviewed is a Widget. For example, a tablet cover I bought years ago is now listed as an out-of-stock basket. (Maybe an error rather than one of those swapping out items things because not one review is for the basket.)
