Do you get slightly frustrated when you see ?

Contributor: shySEXXaddict shySEXXaddict
Honestly,deep down do you get slightly irritated or frustrated when you see a review for a product thats only allowed one free review and it was denied to you to find that it was assigned to someone that only gave it a somewhat useful review? Does it bother you knowing that you or someone else that gives EU reviews could of done an amazing job writing a review on it that would be actually helpful for the consumer? Im not knocking anyone or anything and very well know the assignments need to be distrupted equally..I just want your opinion.

More frustrating to see someone get editing assignments and then not even bother to proofread the review!

I can also see where it could be frustrating if you were say a male and some female got a super expensive fake vagina/fleshlight male toy ahead of you (assuming she didn't have a male partner and it wouldn't get used)...though I don't qualify for those yet, so it hasn't happened.

No--even though it is a bit disappointing not to get the item, I feel that we were all at the point of learning to review and should cut newcomers some slack. They need to learn the process as well.

Also, some people do not write long reviews, other write mini-novels and some are in between. We all have our own style and As long as the review is useful to someone it is a good review. Sometimes I think we get a bit too critical on the site--I want everything on here perfect as well, but have realized it is the unique perceptions that make the site real and not a 'paid to review' site.

Very well said! And I couldn't agree more.

It only frustrates me if it's something I want to buy and the review didn't answer the questions about the item that I had. Otherwise, it really doesn't affect me, so I don't upset myself about it.

It is frustrating when someone writes 3 or 4 sentences on a product that doesnt have anything to do with the toy. They requested it just to get a free toy and dont actually want to contribute to the community.

This is how I am. Though, I do wish that assignments were closer watched. There are some that have absolutely nothing to do with the product just what they were doing when they used it and how you need to use imagination with it. Those are the ones that frustrate me. These reviews are far less than somewhat useful..

Right! Or I've seen several reviews for lingerie pieces where the person writes this big long review, then somewhere in the review they say they haven't worn it, haven't tried it on, because it won't fit them, won't work for them etc. Then I'm thinking, ok then how can you tell me all about it? LOL That is less than "Somewhat Useful" for me too.

I take a little longer to get my reviews finished, but that's because I'm actually using the product & testing it out. Oh well, I just try to laugh about it. I guess? lol I do kinda wish they were watched a little more closely too.

I don't even notice. I stopped asking for free assignments - a long time ago. It's just too much time and trouble.
