What's with all the "REVIEW" threads?

I noticed the same thing.

It's a product promotion of what is in the Exploroz Shop.

In some ways it's not a bad thing.

Depends which way you look at it.

Hi Chris,

If you are a member you have the option to turn off the reviews. Another way to improve things a bit is to sort the threads by response time in the "Display Options"box at the top LH side of the main forum page.

at last someone has put this up, i hardly use this now, well compaired to what i used to do, there are 2 reasons, the awful BLUE colour, i simply cant get used to it and i have tried but sorry i cant ......... and the "ask a question (forum)" is now bulk "reviews" and yes that is fine but at the end of the day everything is customer driven so we make money, one case is to place them in the "forum" so they are in the customers face and they "may" be enticed to buy the product ......... but that also can backfire as the forum is now cluttered up with "reviews" that are to be honest most really dont care about and it is so much harder to find a post ........
Why not have the "reviews" on the same page as the product so when we go to the "shop" and open a product page we also will see a rewiew that relates to the "product" ...............
Again just an observation and a "construtive" criticism ..... :-)
Cheers

I posted this above but will also include it in the main thread:

Guys as a followup. We have installed one series of mods and now there is a min length of 100 chars plus all Reviews of shop products will be moderated/approved before they are displayed. They will all be displayed on the shop but only manually approved Reviews will be displayed in the forum system.

That should reduce the level a little and you will only then see approved reviews that are not one line boring statements. Still working on the help text for the entry page but the first round of rules has now been installed.
