We really should do something about the state of the reviews section, it's absoutely horrible. So many reviews getting ones because idiots think it's funny to flame a product they don't like. For the majority these people are immature 14 year old PEIGNE-CÜLS, who have nothing better to do with their lives. They make loads of stupid reviews either giving ones or tens with out any valid reason. Both really mess up the review system. Whenever I see them, I submit them as in-appropriate reviews, but nothing ever gets done. Either the people don't care, or the more likely case, there's just too many idiots, and not enough time to fix them all. Now the real question is what are you gonna do about it? I'm thinking the best idea would be to get everyone to register. Then if they make stupid reviews, they get booted, and the review is deleted. Then they will have to make an entire new account, with a new E-mail address before they can ast like an idiot again. If they think it's funny write fake reviews, then the chances are they're too lazy to make another account so they can do it again.
Just my 2 cents anyway

I believe the Mod staff does the best they can in weeding out the bad reviews. I know Killer Kat does his best. For the rest of us, all we can do is report the bad reviews that are made whenever we see them...
(Not all the Mods here have the option to take out those bad reviews...myself being one of them.)

If everyone who does post remember that other people are relying on these reviews as factual information. I know personally that most of my purchases have been based on information I've obtained through these same reviews.
Please be explict in all the explantions (what you liked, as well as what you didn't) someone else just might need what you've got to offer, as far as information.
The saddest part about this is the fact that alot of people read these and conclude that Paintballers are ignorant, profanity spewwing morons. Their assumptions lead them to believe it's not the kind of sport they want there children, grandchildren, nor themselves associated with. With this in mind again as you read these reviews, and find bogus, spam-like, or profanity laced reviews, please report them. Remember someone somewhere at sometime(who's thinking about getting into the sport, or investing in a new product) is reviewing "us" as well as our sport.
