Linea review hater?

DizMcTiz — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 02:14:16 GMT

I was just curious if anyone else had noticed that someone seems to be clicking "No" (Was this review helpful?) on every single new review of Linea items? It's not that I really care, but it just seems like odd and negative behaviour. My only thought is that this person is trying to negate the copious 4 and 5 star reviews. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, just look at some of the newer items that at least have several posts. A351469, J479225, A351412, A351112 If newer reviews have subsequently posted those probably don't have the No's yet. I've been noticing this all year.

Every so often a Linea Lover notices that some oddball has an ugly habit of clicking a "no" for each positive Linea review. It is as though this rebellious act is the weirdo clicker's mission in life. Like you, the Linea Lover posts about it here.

What to make of it?

Jealousy? A naturally bad disposition? Momentary dyspepsia? Who knows. My gut feeling is that is it someone who is desperately trying to defame the Linea line for whatever warped reason he or she has. Pathetic.

I remember reading about this a few years ago. It’s still going on? Hard to believe that it is probably a grown woman. Sad.

Yes, still going on. Must be of a juvenile mindset.

@golding76 ,

while I'm loving the possibility it's 'dyspepsia', I've read enough impossible negative reviews to know better.

@DizMcTiz , there are people who take the time to write fake negative reviews. Presumably clicking "no" on other people's positive reviews gives the same kind of thrill.

@x Hedge, the horror! It never occurred to me that someone would post a fake review for the thrill. I must admit that I don't get around to submitting as many reviews that I would like, but this is cetainly motivating me to support Louis because I don't know what I would do w/o his designs. My Mom is much better at keeping up on posting reviews. Her thoughtful and descriptive reviews have earned her a Top 1000 reviewer because so many people haved clicked "yes" on her reviews. I have big shoes to follow.

I noticed it too.

All of the non-Linea reviews have lots of nos. I wish they'd just eliminate that question. It serves no purpose.

Actually, I click the No when I think that someone has posted something completely irrelevant and not helpful at all or is obviously reviewing the incorrect item which seems to happen often.

I did not click no on this one, but came really close.

An early review on A343615 mentioned that they agreed with another reviewer the nap in the wrong direction, but that comment(s) was really on item A298793 (Issac). I only knew this because A298793 was on a LTS and after reading several comments about the nap I decided not order. I just waited for A343615 to offered on LTS or PTS.

@DizMcTiz

Had no idea what that meant. I'm a Top 1000 Reviewer, too. Knew I hadn't posted that many reviews. Wasn't important to me, so I didn't look it up. Thanks to you, now I know.

Neither that annoying yes/no question nor Top 1000 Reviewer designation show on QVC app reviews.

I just get the reviews.

And unlike this website, the reviews load immediately on the QVC app. I avoid a lot by doing QVC business on the app 98% of the time, and stick to just forums here.

The person who checked no isn't saying anything about LDO and his garments ... the "no" is rating the reviewer's comments - NOT the garment.

Their "no" will have no impact on the number of stars.

Perhaps the solution is to write better reviews.

@ALRATIBA

I think the OP knew that. She was just saying that she found it odd that someone would have found all of the reviews to be "not helpful." No comments about lowering the ratings, just puzzlement that someone would do this.

This person has been around for a loooong time. They mark "No" only on the positive reviews. At one point, they were even stalking me and writing "No" on my non-Linea reviews. I know of one other person who was experiencing this. At one time we were suspicious that whoever was doing this was reading the forum here as at that time only reviews from very active posters were being marked "No".

If I remember correctly from the past, wasn't the poster someone who just liked to instill controversy. I wish I could remember the poster's handle.

Although I have never marked a legitimate post "was this helpful?" negatively (or even positively for the most part).

However, I often feel I would like to when someone says something like "I am 5-feet tall and I ordered the same size I did before and it fit (or did not fit)." What does that mean. Do you weigh 600 pounds and ordered an XXS or do you weigh 100 pounds and ordered a 3X.

I despise those posts that give no useful information. I don't think that is true of any LDO posts. But there are some that are so inane, that I would like to say so but I try to assume that this person thinks we know the rest of the information and has not thought through what they said.

P.S. This is the reason my mother thought I would be a terrible educatorr so she suggested putting me in a different discipline.
