I have been in and out of Eden since 2011, due to moves and job changes and life simply just happening. Which it does to all of us, but now that I'm back to stay I have found myself rather disappointed in what I've come back to.
I went in and looked at two reviews that were pending publishing, and what I found was the absolute minimal work done on anything that I looked at. I understand that many reviewers didn't have the opportunity I did when I started, as I was a personal real life friend with someone who was once one of the best reviewers on Eden.
However, the new review prompts that were put in place at least give a good guideline on things to include, and most of the information you need is printed on either an insert or the packaging itself. So seeing these reviews that only really focused on how much they did or did not like the item, and had no real information for someone who might be looking to buy this toy.
What really really ground my gears more than anything was the comment I found where an Editor told them they simply couldn't publish the review because it was discounted. I submitted said review back to the reviewer because there was simply no information in it.
The whole feel of what was done by the reviewer and the editor was just to earn the points and get the rating.
I'm honestly -not- trying to upset anyone. This is why I purposefully left out names because this isn't about a fight. This is about a problem that is starting to appear more and more here on Eden Fantasys that I feel that we need to address.
I understand that the program doesn't work like it did in the good ol' days, believe me, but at the same time we are still being given free products by Eden, we are still being given points to put towards our purchases for the work that is done here, and I feel that we need to be working to make sure that the company is still getting quality work for what they are giving us.
So please, before you respond to this in anger, understand that I'm merely trying to get reviewers and editors to come around about some of the things that have been making a passing mark on this site. So that we can hopefully bring newer reviewers back up and have them work on this problem.
Sincerely,
M.
