Swarm Reviews

I already posted something about this on the main Epinions board but figured I'd mention it here.

There are a lot of Just In reviews for a "free" website that is advertising a thousand dollars worth or free stuff if you sign up. Needless to say, this is a scam that requires that you buy or sign up for things to get your "free" stuff. I know a lot of people rated them last night but I was wondering if we should continue to rate them or just let them remain unrated. I seem to recall someone saying that express and survey reviews will be visible even if they aren't rated - but I might be getting that mixed up with the SH rated reviews in the Online section.

Category Leads... what is your call on this?

RE: Swarm Reviews

Tell me about it! I've spent WAY too much DS'ing those scam posts. They keep popping up and eating up new review space. I'll stay the course as long as they can. I am frustrated big time, but I have tons of patience.

The new way for rating makes it easier to DS them though!

RE: Swarm Reviews

Bummer! But three cheers for the new way to click ratings in Express! I'm heading out now but I'll have to tackle the spammers later. That'll get me in a fired up mood so I can later harass the TV repairman who's had my TV in the shop for over a month! Grrr...

RE: Swarm Reviews

After last night (which wasn't so bad) I was hoping this particular swarm attack was over, but I see that they are right back at it today. I'm off to "Don't Show" away...
