Any problems with the site? How can we improve KVR?

Might not mean anything, but there's a weird amount of 10/10 reviews by a newly registered member for products from always the same company:

At the very least, looks a bit weird.

Only 6 posts in 10 years....those post seem to be these 6 reviews. Hmmm.

Hi !
I am proud to announce I will represent Acustica Audio magnificent products in Romania. I am preparing some tutorials in which I will show how I have used Acustica Audio plugins on different type of studio sessions, live concerts, sound design, etc.

Please don't hesitate to contact me by mail at blah@blah !
So, a reseller pimping the stuff they profit off.

Ugh... confused the joined date with the last visited date there. I thought he was newly registered. Nevermind that then.

Ah, that makes sense then. :P Quite sloppy though, some one sentence review, which noone finds really useful.

I am sure it was a coincidence, well, half a dozen of them 8)

Don't most people give a 9 or 10, anyway? Either you want to praise something you love, or you want to destroy something you hate 8)

Well, obviously, it was no coincidence:

I don't get it?

Ok obviously he (reviewer) is biased. Is his opinion less valid just because he is working for some company? In 10 years he reviewed what 10 products. Yes i get it products are from same company but what is wrong if he is genuinely satisfied with products and he genuinely use them? How can you tell?

It's like if i buy UAD and use only UAD for 10 years (not that weird at all) i create 10 reviews all of them are 10 out of 10 because for me i really like them then so what? But hey i am not working for UAD so my review can pass but someone in the UAD pipeline can not say anything about it? Oooo so much about transparency and freedom here.

Is he spamming or something?!?

Well if some of you think that review may be a bit exaggerated and because of that it need to be deleted - haha then 90% of reviews here need to be deleted. As been said in this thread if someone like something it will praise it, if it hate it it will destroy it.

Much of a late i am seeing anger and pure hate here. It is disgusting this so to speak "solidity" and "purity" of a members which are trying to be KVR police while at the same time they are ruining other people threads (and now review opinions). Not pointing this to anyone particular just to be clear. All i am seeing these days at KVR is hate, anger and opinion about wrong opinion.

Oh well. Maybe it is again time to get off this board for another three months...

We had reviews of a KVR member removed from our product pages once he went onto u-he's payroll.

If this stuff was allowed, I'd also happily review every software that has higher ratings than mine. (I won't but I hope to make a point)

Yes, indeed. Its less valid because he, as an individual, is the country-wide representative of the products' developer.

Nice of you to gloss over the inconvenient specifics, though.

As if I didn't trust Acustica products badly enough !

Post

Oh look, another 10/10 from SoundForSoul for an Acustica plugin :roll: - http://www.kvraudio.com/product/white2- ... views/4622

Ugh, go away...

One thing I can't stand is fake or artificially inflated reviews.
I will take the Lord's name in vain, whenever I want. Hail Satan! And his little goblins too. :lol:

Another reason why Acustica leaves a bad taste in the mouth...

Which one do you give to a product you hate then, 9 or 10?


Just kidding. :lol:

Ah, the ideal world where people wrote reviews... as reviews.
