On two occasions I have tried to add a review to an item I purchased and
I have yet to see my review. There has been no communication with
explanation either.

My review wasn't overly negative although perhaps mentioning the price
paid might have been the cause![1]

So beware that reviews are censored, presumably only negative ones.

[1] I only mentioned the price I paid and not the doubling of price since!

Showerdoctor may be filtering reviews too.

The one I posted 3 years ago stating that the mira fixed price service
was cheaper than buying the parts is still there, but the new one where
I stated the fixed price service was now £30 less hasn't appeared.
Maybe I didn't give enough stars?

Screwfix is ****ing me off at the moment. I posted two questions a
couple of days ago, then hours later I got an email from Screwfix to
say that they didn't meet the guidelines. Eh?!!!

Then I asked over the phone whether I could view an item before
purchase that is only available with click and collect, i.e. not
available off the shelf in any of the stores within a 50 mile radius.
She said I'd have to buy the item, then decide on collection whether
it was suitable and then request an immediate refund if it wasn't.

Why on earth can't they just deliver the thing to the local store for
inspection? Heck knows, they've got trucks buzzing around all over the
country delivering and picking up stuff.

I bet you've used an innocent word with an alternative meaning. They
have software which scans for words they don't like. A few years ago
they rejected a review which I wrote about a garden arbour - because I
had used the word "erection" when commenting on the assembly process!

Yes, the same happened to me a little while ago. I replied, asking them
to spell out in exactly what way my question didn't meet their
guidelines. It was obviously an automatic process because as soon as a
real person looked at my question they decided it was ok and published it.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

They are not the only ones. I wrote a review about a set of steps I
bought from the Wicks web site. In the review I said the first pair
that were delivered were damaged in transit, no doubt because they were
not properly wrapped. The sides of the steps are glass fibre and so
easily scratched. I had to reject them when they arrived.

The review was rejected probably because I commented on the quality of
service rather than the product itself.

Most sites do this. I think it starts with people bad mouthing everything
and then gradually goes on from there.
This is why, in my view, one should never trust a web sites reviews or one
which does comparisons and routes you to a given site as they probably have
a commission to protect.

where's the ******* file with the black handle? I hope my Labrador
bitch, that I bought in S****horpe, hasn't chewed it.

My apprentice has been making an ass of himself with his new bird, Fanny
Price, and it's made his mum come over queer.

Still we made it to the carnival OK. Oh! what a gay day it was!

Try putting a polite truthful negative review on a doctors surgery and see
how far you get with NHS Choices.
