Why my reviews have not been published?

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Why my reviews have not been published?

Post by raindropwriter »

Hi, I tried contacting Scott but did not get a reply from him. I have in total reviewed 4 books but only 2 reviews have been published. A lot of time has passed so I would be grateful if somebody could tell me why my other 2 reviews have not been published yet! Thanks.

Scott may be waiting for info from the author regarding the purchase link or he hasn't gone over your reviews yet. If you pmd Scott about it, he will answer it when he has time.

Dear Scott please approve or reject my review this is getting real frustrating and I don't want to review anymore if reviews won't get published! All I get is free books to review and I invest my time in reading and reviewing a free book just because it helps me in growing as a reviewer but if reviews won't get published/rejected with reason then what good will it do for me?

Good question! I would like to know too.

Reasons -
- You WASTE your time in reading and writing a review and it will not get published! (Not one but two!)
- Administrator is too busy to give you a reason as to why your review has not been published! Won't respond to PM.
- No paid review opportunities even after being on level 4 which means no way you'll reach level 5!
- Most disappointing is the I don't care attitude of the Administrator of this site! If you are busy hire people who can handle issues on your behalf and not give you reasons like "PM Scott, Scott might be busy he will review your review when free, blah"
I'm sorry for writing all this crap but I'm disappointed and feel cheated! I feel so ashamed for recommending it to my dear friends and will never recommend this site to anyone again!

I'm sorry you feel disappointed. If you are wondering why a review you wrote has not been published, please first check your review team page. Check what it says in 'your history' and on the 'reviewer score page'.

I'm sorry there are not enough funds in the budget to hire a receptionist at this time.

Wow. You seem very dissapointed with this site, but in my opinion, I think it is quite well run.

You can't expect to jump to the top of the ladder after reading four books, other people (not me) have been reviewing books for ages. Also, some authors ask for their reviews to be privately delivered to them, perhaps that is why they were not published.
