Newegg product user reviews? Edited or screened by the site?

[Deleted member 4644]

Why are almost all product reviews 100% positive? Does newegg manipulate the reviews somehow?

I gave them a shot about lowering the price 2 days after I bought a product.

They posted it.

It just happened again this week. *&*&^$^((

Some of the "reviews" are just like that. Totally irrelevant to the quality of the product.

They took off a ranting review I wrote once immediately after it was posted. I think they got people checking out every entry to make sure it meets Newegg's strict quality of service.

They let mine slide by, probably because I was correcting a bs post someone had left.

Here's a guy that's claiming that a socket 754 mobo (pretty much designed and brought into production within the past couple years, right?) will only take older video cards (we're talking 1x & 2x agp) because it has a warning label on it telling you only certain voltage video cards will work with the mobo.

It got me to thinking, and I went to ATI's website, to check the operating voltage on, say, a 9800pro. Not surprisingly, it fit well into the requirements for the mobo's 8x agp slot. I checked out some older cards, and found out that early agp card operated at the voltage this mobo can't take. Wow, what a shock! :shocked:

So I went back to Newegg, and left a review of the mobo, saying that this clown is clueless about the video card slot voltages, and how I had checked it out and found out that the opposite of what he said was true. The funny thing is, that he had bought the mobo, and saw the warning label when he got it......then got upset and did an rma of it, thinking that he couldn't use his new-fangled video card with it! Man, I wish I'd seen it when he posted it, cuz I would've picked up a sweet mobo for cheap in the refurb section! :laugh:
