Negative review didn't appear on ocuk?

[Neil79]

Have you ever wrote a negative review about a hardware device and it didn't appear on ocuk store? I just wondered because I gave the MSI 280x a two star, regarding it's lack of voltages, vrm temps and the general issues other people have had. Can't remember everything I wrote but It was a pretty good review, over two paragraphs long

I haven't, though I've seen some reviews from other people.

It will show but you have to give it time.
I left a review and it took a week to show.

You gave it a bad review based on 'general issues other people have had'

That could be your problem.

 

[Neil79]

Hmm I'm sure it's nearly a week now, I'll give it some time then

And you missed the other bits?

Ha ha sorry I meant to add a on the end, I dislike a snotty solo

I once did similar (not on OCUK) but they said my review was rejected due to making unsupported claims.

I've wrote good reviews that haven't appeared before, so i don't think its to do with it been bad or good.

they probs get loads of reviews and dont check them that often

Depends on the product and whoever lets the review stick. Why would OCuk alow a review that could harm their sales...

So you're saying they only allow positive reviews or above average?

Yeah as its currently working, played 2hrs of bf4 and some arma 3. Though I expect better temps at 85% fan speed oh and the volts its advertised at In reviews. PS Im posting on my phone

Wouldn't be the first or the last. I've wrote quite a few honest reviews and they haven't seen the light of day.

over two paragraphs long

maybe that's why. although it says review the product i don't think they mean pages of text and graphs and benchmarks. more like, great product would recommend to my friends etc.

edit, although after reading reviews on this product. one gave it 2 stars. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-238-MS&tool=3. and they are pretty long reviews. so who knows, could always email them and ask them.

I have done a few reviews and it does take a few weeks before they show sometimes.

OCUK have always filtered negative reviews as long as I've been a member... their reason usually being: "We didn't feel your review fairly represented the product".

At the end of the day if there is only one review and it's a negative one,then I guess it cold potentially harm sales... and this ain't Amazon or Newegg where they are so big that they can allow honest reviews to aggregate over time.

well ileft a review on a monitor explaining a known issue to warn people, guess what didn't get shown, i never trust the rating system on this site

Same, I slated the DGM monitor and suprise suprise ocuk didn't publish it, guess they get a good margin on them

So you gave an item two stars out of five when you were well within your 14 day returns policy to send it back and you are keeping it?

That does make you look a bit silly.
