I just rejected a review that started out like this:
“was on weekend visit in Chattanooga back in summer 2016 when i stopped here”
WTF? A review from a visit three years ago? At least he was honest. If he had just left that part out I probably would have approved it. In my view, if you don’t post your review within a week, two at the very most, you shouldn’t bother.
It would have been a useless review. The odds are that the place would have 100% turnover in employment, and possible even a remodel or maybe too much wear and tear. It just makes no sense to post, so good call on the rejection.
Most of time you don’t know. Reviewers usually just say they went on a Tues, Fri, Sat, etc, if they say anything at all beyond what is required by the drop down menus. They don’t say what month or year usually. So if it’s an otherwise acceptable review, who is to know. But when you say the visit is from 3 years ago, too much can change. Dancers move on, managers move on, ownership could change, prices change, the club could even be closed. I guess I can see the argument that more info is always better and this one did clearly disclose it was a stale review, but three years?
I don’t know Doc maybe I’m different. I like to see how shits kind of changed over the years anyway. What kind state is the club in. The history and all that. Too me if it had interesting stuff in a club in my area, I would like to read it. That’s just me though.
I agree with Doc and I voted no on the review also
I agree. Reject it. Details get real fuzzy on anything more than 6 months ago. If I do a Review, it's within a couple weeks of going to that club.
Reject it like a fugly stripper
The irony of this thread is I know Rick would love chime in here lol.
What's next, reviews from the Hollywood Tropicana Oil Wrestling Club from 1995?
But it’s all fiction anyway, right?
Right, it's all fiction, that doesn't mean TUSCL has to get in to period drama. What's next? future reviews from 2053?
Review Nazis
I would reject an old review also. I cannot remember details after a week, certainly not after a few years. Might as well just make them up, which is what I think we are against?
A 3 y/o review is not worthy of VIP (which I assume is the reason he wrote it) - useless being that old and seems like just a VIP grab - for me anything up to a month old is srill viable but anything more then seems you're writing just to get VIP (shouldn't take that long ro write a review)
I pointed out in a recent discussion that too many reviews don't give your a specific date as to when you wee there. It was argued that, that could give too much personal information about the reviewer. Some one could been there at the same time including dancers that could put 2 and 2 together.
I'm not worried about it, So I always include the date I was there.
What if he wrote the review within a week of his visit but sat on it for a long time before posting?
Fish and guests stink after a few days
Old review for VIP is still better than completely fake reviews I see here sometimes. I would reject it as well but the fake reviews annoy me alot more.
Doc I gotta disagree here. Although that is a long time I’d like to here to what he has to say on it. Doesn’t cost me anything. I’d like to see the rest of the review but if it was solid why not. Not all my reviews are immediate either although not that old.
