Sure they are, but just a shame we can't educate these people and let them know the truth to stop them spreading their lies to other people. Plus relies a lot on word of mouth. Oh well, I just had to rant

I understand what you mean Patchou, but I think the have to remove this review posted by a guy who calls himself Patchou:



Isn't that violating a guideline

This are the guidelines, and it do says: Don't submit an opinion of the product if your company makes or resells it, or makes or resells a product that competes with it, so i guess they have to remove the (fake) Patchou opinion.


Guidelines 


When sharing your opinion of a product, please observe the following do's and don'ts.

Do's

• Do be succinct, accurate, constructive and objective.
  
• Do compare the product to other competing products (or to previous versions of this product) that you've used.
  
• Do provide examples of how the product or its manufacturer did or did not meet your expectations.

Dont's

• Don't use offensive language.
  
• Don't submit an opinion of the product if you don't own or have first-hand experience with it.
  
• Don't submit more than one opinion of the product.
  
• Don't submit an opinion of the product if your company makes or resells it, or makes or resells a product that competes with it. (CNET intends to create vendor-response opportunities in the future.)
  
• Don't submit any self-serving, commercial links or comments.
  You must be 13 years of age or older to submit personal information to CNET. In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, CNET is no longer accepting name and e-mail address information from users who are under 13 years of age.

All submitted ratings and written comments become the sole property of CNET, Inc. (CNET) and may be used at CNET's sole discretion.

hmm,  thats very true..  but would you call it opinions when people post things like:

quote:

---

"full of spyware"
This aps is a complete rubbish litteraly full of spywares. Furthermore, some of its features (like POP3 notification) doesnt work at all) Avoid it absolutely !!!!

---

quote:

---

"Warning, spyware and more!"
Very few features that the messenger doesn't already have. Requires keyboard combinations you must memorize to use. Installs Adware, Spyware, A Trojan and 19 web Tracking Cookies. You are warned! The feedback on this program was horrible and then it was deleted and started over so the employees could bump up the percentage again. They were overwelmed on the spyware issues.

---

Thats not opinions.. thats complaining about it in the wrong place. (if you want to call it complaining) i call it people who just cause trouble. Stating your opinion should be straight forward and in a calm manner. It makes me sad when i look to read through the reviews and i see some like that. But i guess it cant be helped purly because its just in its nature to get shot down by that sort of thing. I just hope that it dies down within the near future.
