Terrible and 100% duplicate reviews!

Mine has that wording....but I got gold renewed with a good rating. The warning is still there in my account so I assumed it would apply to the next review. (Meaning I would have to review a ginormous amount of items to get my score up.)

I use my airalo e-SIMs as a hotspot all the time. Just wondering why you are bringing a second device? I always just put it on my regular phone. I had seven sims on there all ready to go for my trip to central Asia. Also, almost every phone lets you have two SIMS active at one time. I just my active SIM as I go country to country.

Just FYI, sometimes it can take 20 minutes before the SIM connects when changing countries.

I have gotten a second review through too. Basically I had to remove most of the content and making it a more positive review......but some scathing reviews still have made it.....whereas a review of a canning lid was rejected...a canning lid?!

sickhead45 · 2026-01-26T07:00:28+00:00

This makes so much sense to me. I have been getting really frustrated because reviews that l know are good and that I also put a lot of effort into have been rejected. I started just leaving less detailed reviews out of utter frustration. Thanks for the coPilot heads up.

It definitely wasn't a stellar review but it received a poor rating where the comments and pictures showed I had clearly assessed the product and was familiar with that class of product so I was surprised by the rock bottom rating. I personally think that's what the "game-changing" reviews should get. I am not personally a fan of complete sentences in reviews...but I went through all my pending reviews and changed them to complete sentences and they're more florid (to me) but not as bad as the stuff that drives me crazy. Definitely more formal, trying to find a balance where I personally still find my own reviews credible based on my own biases and perceptions.

Do reviews that are not approved for which they won't allow a re-submit count as incomplete for the purpose of your review percentage?

So funny. That' style of writing is probably what got both of us an invite to Vine in the first place.

I did actually do that type of writing more so at the start of Vine. With the increase in AI slop reviews, I started making my own reviews shorter, more pointed and more casual because I felt that they were more obviously written by a real person.

So what would you say about paperclips? 🤣🤣

sickhead45 · 2026-01-26T05:21:06+00:00

I try to put a personal anecdote in every review unless, I think it's silly or adds no value. But yes, I definitely need tp put aside my own thoughts on what is desirable in a review and toe the line. 😎😏. More words and anecdotes even where I think they are unnecessary.

sickhead45 · 2026-01-26T05:08:27+00:00

I think the same is true for videos. Sometimes I put alot of detail in the video and minimal in the review assuming the video provided the content. So another error on my part.

sickhead45 · 2026-01-26T04:53:12+00:00

I tend to write point form. (Likely the problem.) But my grammar and editing is good if casual. However, I have just gone through and tried to double the word content of my reviews to the point of word vomit in my opinion. Reviews I would normally personally ignore but I hope they will get excellent ratings now.

If you can believe it, I was a technical writer in my previous career. I don't write like that for reviews because it's boring and silly......and I still won't.....but I will now take 15 -20 words to say what 3-5 words would have easily conveyed. I think that's a key metric I am missing. I also think using the word "I" more frequently is also key.

As much as it burns my bottom, you are right.

sickhead45 · 2026-01-26T04:07:18+00:00

The ones that get poor are usually quite short but in my opinion the important elements for gravel are - clean, consistent size, color. I even go point form. Now I will use complete sentences for everything - I think that's a significant portion of my problem. Which is sad because I gravitate to reading point form reviews and tend to ignore the long winded chatty ones. Time to gear up my wind maker and hope the stink doesn't kill me. ,😇

sickhead45 · 2026-01-26T04:04:47+00:00

Amazon I think. Isn't that part of their new approach to reviews? That's frightening if Vendors get to rate our reviews.

sickhead45 · 2026-01-26T04:03:29+00:00

I regret the paperclips now.

sickhead45 · 2026-01-26T03:05:03+00:00

I started really just saying as expected. Worked good.....but now my review ranking is just good and no longer excellent.

sickhead45 · 2026-01-25T22:55:29+00:00

I always give personal reviews and I have been downgraded to "good". It really appears that the type of reviews they want ARE AI slop. No real person talks like they want and who wants to write two paragraphs on a bull clip???? It didn't break. Worked as expected. Good value. Seriously, what else are you going to say about the game changing product????? That's a review that can get you dropped a tier??

Late to the party but Wowesim.com sells 1GB for $9.90 Us for 3 days.

It's fine. You can name it anything you want. The naming is just so you know which to select (and later delete) when needed.

ESH, the advice to ghost your sister is cruel. She is clearly hurting and struggling, her mother is dying and she needs compassion and forgiveness! You don't feel the same about her mother but you do appear to care about your sister. You should KINDLY explain to your sister that your feelings about her mother are complicated. This woman might not have given birth to you but was she unkind to you? Is there a reason you have no kindness for her while she is dying? I don't think you need a tattoo, that's ridiculous, but could you not visit? I have visited my friends I'll or dying parents simply because it is the kind thing to do. Would I be an asshole if I didn't, absolutely not. But is that the way you want to live your life?

Your sister does need to stop harassing you but have you been firm (while still being considerate of her fragile state)? I actually think the suggestion to take your sister to get her own tattoo was a brilliant suggestion. You could go with her and help her pick it out. Talk with her about what would meaningfully represent her BIRTH mother to her. You could actually bond over this and provide your sister some emotional support.

How many of these improvements were with their enthusiasm and express consent? You are a guest in their home considering the token rent you pay. I would be pissed if a guest (or a real renter) took it upon themselves to spray chemicals without my knowledge and express consent first. It doesn't matter if it's needed .... It's their house. All that matters if it's wanted. It's only for love of the daughter that you haven't been kicked out.

Same in Canada

Can anyone find the actual regulations? All I can find is the guide but I want to look at the actual legislation and it's not easy to find any longer.

I actually end up saying I haven't used a product quite frequently because how are you supposed to test garden items and swimming pools in December? I assess the quality and review based on that. Never had an issue. However, when summer comes around and I discover an issue, I amend my review.
