Title |
The House of Morecock |
Review |
"I like" |
Reason for rejection |
This review isn't useful. Who is the person,
why do they like it? Is it unusual that they like
things? More information is needed to help movie watchers
find items right for them. |
Response |
I ignore these. The people don't care enough to write more, they get
ignored. |
Title |
Clive Barker's Books of Blood, Volume Three |
Review |
"hey is this guy still dead ? good !" |
Reason for rejection |
This review isn't useful. It has nothing
to do with the book and could not be used by people to
help determine if they want to read it. |
Response |
Ignored. Personal opinions outside of the item being reviewed are
never posted. |
Title |
Dark Angels: Lesbian Vampire Stories |
Review |
"I LOVE VAMPIRES AND I AM ONE. I AM NOT AFRAID ANYMORE.
I LOVE THE FACT OF WHAT I AM!" |
Reason for rejection |
This review isn't useful. It has nothing
to do with the book and is kind of psychotic. It is also
in all capital letters. |
Response |
Ignored. This sort of statement belongs in the chatrooms (at best). |
Title |
Dark Destiny - Proprietors of Fate |
Review |
"be my guest call me (only) if you are gay!!!!!" |
Reason for rejection |
This review isn't useful. It has nothing
to do with the book and is kind of pathetic. |
Response |
Ignored. This sort of statement belongs in the chatrooms (at best). |
Title |
The House of Morecock |
Review |
"it was a great movie" |
Reason for rejection |
This review is not complete. While it may
be true, not enough information to identify the movie
to show that the reviewer didn't choose the wrong one.
It doesn't say why the person thought the movie was
great and why any one else would be likely to
enjoy it. |
Response |
Not posted until more information is provided. |
Title |
(withheld) |
Review |
"(withheld), a magical author. Wow. Word after word, page
after page, stories so hypnotic the words go by faster and
faster before you know it, you've been places you've never
been, seen things
you've never seen, and sensed things you've only dreamed
about, and all of a sudden, you're at the last page. Cheers.
Can't wait until
the next one." |
Reason for rejection |
I admit that this is a judgment call. When
a person only rates a single item, and gives it a review
that most authors would die for, it is generally
the author him/herself, the publicity department
or a friend writing it. These are generally not helpful
to other readers as they are advertising rather than
a review. |
Response |
Not posted unless proof was given that this was a real reader. |
Title |
Blood Price |
Review |
"Brother Trouble II - The story is a bit boring..." |
Reason for rejection |
This is why items need to be specific enough
that it is clear what the rater is rating. In this case,
they tried to provide a rating for the wrong item. If
it were applied to the right item, it would still likely
be ignored because it isn't specific enough. |

Title |
Rumpenstein's Monster |
Review |
"Hi I love porno and girls" |
Reason for rejection |
Adding a rating while drunk/stoned is generally
a bad idea. The review is ridiculous and not helpful.
Also, this is a gay male item, which would not appeal
to a person who likes girls, suggesting they chose it
because the title made them giggle. |
Response |
Ignored. There are better things to do than follow up on these
types of reviews. |
Title |
Ultimate Reality |
Review |
"x" |
Reason for rejection |
The instructions specifically say that submitting
a review without stating why you like it, is worthless.
Why would people waste their time trying to figure
out how to 'sneak past' the review check that says
you need text in the comments box? Some people need
more of a life. |
Response |
Ignored. There are better things to do than follow up on these
types of reviews. |
Title |
V Is For Vampire: The A -Z Guide To Everything Undead |
Review |
"I am not a very good at commentinting so i will not make
any comments ...for the moment.
Besides i do not particulary like commenting cause i beleive
It should and that is only ny personal perspective...that commenting
should be only used in tomes of major descisions.
sorry,and i also appologize for my spelling my native language
is francais." |
Reason for rejection |
I appreciate people living by their own morals.
But the instructions are specific. It doesn't help anyone
to know that 'a random person on the planet likes something.'
People need to know why in order to make a judgement
as to whether or not this person's tastes accurately
reflect their own |

Title |
Out for Blood |
Review |
"this is one of the best vampire books iv'e ever read!
another romp in the woods sexy flick,one i must recomend,more a werewolf flick,not
real vampirey,but real sexy,and good,is'animals'by john skipp and craig spector,...this
might be hard to find but i assure you,this is a must find read!!!!
its not real queer,but their are undertones of queerness,lots of sex,'some really
weird sex',sex in all stages of transformation!!!!its an a+book!
i guess it was written about oh,five years ago or so.
i would love to know if others have read this book!!!!" |
Reason for rejection |
This entry lacks focus of any kind. It acknowledges
that this is a vampire book (true) and then mentions
it being a flick and it being about werewolves instead
of vampires (both untrue).
Note: If it were more coherent,
we would clean up the language and post it so
that the poster didn't seem so poorly educated. |

Title |
Out for Blood |
Review |
"I loved the book. It made the character real the it could
happen and the fellings that were expresse made the characters
very real if only you could meat real people like that" |
Reason for rejection |
This was on the border. It was relatively
well written, but there wasn't enough detail to know
if the reviewer was referring to the right thing.

Title |
Dark Angels: Lesbian Vampire Stories |
Review |
"i love reading about lesbians shagging" |
Reason for rejection |
Not really worthwhile comments and fairly
offensive. The comment itself would have been posted
had this been written with capital letters and punctuation,
and if it included more information leading to a
more meaningful review (referred to the stories,
explained why the reviewer liked them,
described the stories, etc.)

Title |
Curse of the Queerwolf |
Review |
"WELL MY FAVORITE WEREWOLF MOVIE IS GINGERSNAPS THAT GETS
AN A+ FROM BEING GORY WITH GREAT ACTING AND A GREAT STORY
LINE BUT CURSE OF QUEER WOLF IS REALLY GOOD TOO BUT NOT AS GOOD AS
GINGERSNAPS" |
Reason for rejection |
Besides being all in capital letters,
this is a review of a different movie, with this
movie thrown in to try to make it fit. Again, not
helpful for a person reading this entry.
