Bad reviews are not deleted on this board unless it is clear that the review is fabricated. As long as reviews are honest it will stand.
We get requests from agencies and independents to delete sub negative posts / reviews because they do not like what it was said. Or they don't like the member, we politely say we are a review board where all members have the right to judge and make their own opinions.
We may edit some if we find it was uncalled for but never delete an honest review. We hold a shorter leash on new members that all they do is bash on an agency/Indy but from veteran reviewers they stand as they are trustworthy.
Have been threatened they will not pay our fee if we do not do what they ask. We say it is your prerogative and we will not stand for blackmail or bullying of any kind.
We cater to our advertisers and bend backwards for them but we also respect the members that find the time to review their POV of who they have seen. We know we cannot please everyone and can end up in a lose/lose situation. But after all it is called a review board for a reason.
Thank you and hope this makes sense.
Wow, glad to be a member here.
