Done. It says my review will be up within two business days.


RE: Download.com Reviews Needed by Tochjo on 11-24-2003 at 08:10 PM

Finally registered and posted a great review for a great program (y)


RE: Download.com Reviews Needed by Jeronimo on 11-24-2003 at 09:19 PM

Done and done :gfdrin:

I just hope we don't get lots of muppets complaining about the sponsor program being spyware and all that nonsense. Especially now the sponsor agreement has been altered to be pretty much bullet proof :)


RE: Download.com Reviews Needed by Chrono on 11-26-2003 at 07:58 AM

How's that our reviews get deleted so often ?

cant u do anything about it patch ?

Anyway, i already voted (Y) :P


RE: Download.com Reviews Needed by Patchou on 11-26-2003 at 08:17 AM

I cant do anything about it.. its their stupid policy to delete all comments everytime I update the version... if you have some apre time, email them about it :p

...and as for the sponsor, it seems that it didn't help much stopping bad comments so, everyone, please rate Messenger Plus! on download.com :D :banana:


RE: Download.com Reviews Needed by Jeronimo on 11-26-2003 at 09:08 AM

Somehow, even tho the agreement has been changed, there are people making negative comments complaining about spyware.

Its really getting annoying just how DUMB people are. Patchou, if I were you I'd be crying my eyes out while banging my head against a brick wall.

If only people who said things like "Dont even bother downloading this junk..Listen to me guys!!!!" left their email address. I'd love to educate them.

Stupid stupid morons. :@

And breathe...... Sorry just had to get that off my chest :)

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 :gfdrin:

[Image: attachment.php?tid=18593&pid=168628]

Isn't that violating a guideline:undecided:


RE: Download.com Reviews Needed by user13774 on 11-28-2003 at 11:39 AM

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. Ratings and written comments are generally posted within two to four business days. However, CNET reserves the right to remove or refuse to post any submission for any reason.

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.

RE: Download.com Reviews Needed by Guido on 12-13-2003 at 01:47 AM

Most people posting negative comments are people who probably didn't download it lately.

And there are only 13 negative comments, what we are missing is positive ones! Come on, tell your friends about it!
