Recommendations are Reviews?
Deleted user

We're experiencing another review confusion on Listal, I'm afraid. Last time it was with comments, which made an entirely seperate page for responses to lists and reviews. Now members are being awarded 50 points for every recommendation they give.
I noticed this when looking over the Games Explore page. A joke recommendation I'd given Prelude was listed as the latest review. I wanted to make sure I hadn't actually posted a review, so I checked my 'Reviews' page. Apparently I've also been given 50 points for suggesting Thunderpants to fuller. This might only happen when you leave recommendation comments, however I must point out how easily members can take advantage of this.

The beast is still among us. I recommended 'Big Trouble in Little China' to Midnight and have been credited for contributing another review.

This just in. Will you all examine this review by our #2 member?

I'm being credited for 3 reviews and escafeld for 8 despite the fact we haven't written any.

weird. its not (and never was) a review. I believe that was a comment to another review, or a comment to a custom list, that has since been deleted, so it becomes its own review, pointing to no item
how did you find this? seems like a bad bug.

Check Midnight's Australian Films list and click 'Read more' by your comment.
So comments are still mysteriously turning into "reviews" (quote-unquote). But in addition we also have a confusion between recommendations and reviews.

This is my latest review. Any ideas from anyone on this bug? Five post by myself sandwiched around one by Prelude doesn't give me the impression this is of great importance to many. So be it - I do see why truncating list comments could be helpful, but it's rather buggy to receive fifty points for each long comment. I think the issue's been stated adequately enough; I'll let this slide unless someone else sees it as a problem.

yeah, this is a bug that needs to be addressed. Recommendations should not be reviews, and long comments in reviews or lists should not be treated as reviews either. It's rather odd bug.

Thanks and well-wishes, Tom. I like how they're still truncated to save space but differenced by the "A comment on the so-and-so list" in blockquote. :)
The Antagonist might be able to bring his points back up by receiving comment votes via cronies and alternate accounts, however.

I think TA should forsake his collections on this site and just go route one on his points quest by posting photos all day, technically negating his purpose here!

Ha, I love how you asked Tom to find out who had Alt Accounts and got zero results Thilian. You must be a complete mug to sit there and come up with such shit.
Just like your recommendation theory. You must have been sitting there watching your points counter. I'll admit I didn't notice this thread since it was just Thilian talking to himself mainly and I can't think of anything worse.

Go easy on the guy, TA. It can't be easy realising that several people on your favourite site think you're a drain on the internet. Alternate account accusations are the last chance saloon for a guys pride.

Never did no such thing. I know who did, though. ;)
LOCKED.

Right before this goes out of hand I'm gonna lock this thread up; Tom sorted it...the bugs were fixed, a happy ending in all.
Its like the Salem witch trial in here with alt. accusations these day. We know who has alts...they weigh the same as a duck.
