Review???? (Suggestions for removal)

[Conrad]

I have to admit, with some of these you just end up feeling a little vindictive. All of these people are just dropping one review as well, very tedious.

I forgot to mention that upon deleting Andy Vaughan's review I did invite him to leave a review of the pub since he seemed to have good things to say underneath the venom. Of course now D C has dropped another review in between this could just escalate again.

I guess at least it gives us something to look at, at work .

[Conrad]

Ah well it is continuing invisibly in the background. D C has proceeded to make a number of what look like good reviews in the broad area (as in it doesn't seem to be an attempt to push people to local competitors), I have to admit I think D C is doing an excellent job with the exception of his bizarre initial review.

We have however now received feedback from a member who we assume is the publican (has not deemed it worthy of mention in either the review or the feedback) asking us to delete D C's review as it is misleading.

We have refused on the grounds that D C's current review is subjective.

One suspects this is still not over

Having been in 3 and reviewed 2 of the 6 pubs he has reviewed I suspect we're looking for different things in a pub.

I'm tempted to try and go to the Robin Hood one day as I suspect I'll like it, simply because he doesn't.

That is definitely fair enough though, I really want to try and make the site more about reviewers. As you say it is all about what you are looking for in a pub.

Maybe we should do an Amazon-esque "Reviewers who liked this pub, also liked"

[ROBCamra]

It certainly is (even though I suspect he's marked one of my reviews as unhelpful )

We all know people who frequent pubs called something like "The Scabby Bucket" who think their local is the best pub in the world.

This is of course possibly because they've been barred from all the decent local establishments.

A review ticking all the boxes here

One-drop poster … check.
BLOCK CAPITALS throughout … check.
Barely comprehensible grasp of the English language … check.
Incoherent ranting … check.

She didn’t leave a rating, however, so it’s difficult to judge what her overall impression was.

And aberrant apostrophes as well! But seriously, what do you think Conrad should do about it? It's critical of the meal, but it's not abusive or racist, and nor does it allege anything illegal. I would leave it up.

Yeah, fair enough. I'm not necessarily arguing for its removal, it's just the kind of review which annoys me, and doesn't - in my opinion - add much of worth. Only my opinion, though.

Mine as well. We do see some naff reviews on here, and this is a prime example.

Perhaps we should have a Naff Reviews Committee

I have had to start sticking emoticons on, or people take me seriously!
