Every time i look at a review its always the same. Some newbie idiot writes a review and comes up with some stupid reason why his gun stinks and automatically gives it a 1 of 10. I bet he hasnt played a game yet and he gives his gun a bad review. Some guy gave a gun a 5 because he thought the price was too cheap (GT COmmando 2, 3rd to last review). Give me stupid reviews youve found.

like the guys who post:

this barrel sux!
good: Um nothin
bad: everything

I think some people feel the need to 'balance out' some of the reviews especially if they have a 'lower rated' product. Wether its a barrel or marker or mask or whatever.

I suspect they feel better 'downrating' other products to make up for thier stupid purchasing decisions. Makes them feel better in that stupid vandalism kind of way. Kind of like how kids scratch up a nice car in a parking lot because they're jealous and could never own a car like it, or because they own a lemon.

just my 2 cents

thank you.

definetly, when they had comments option, if someone ever wrote a bad review those who owned the product and thoguht it was good would starts flaming the person who wrote the bad review.i think thats why they deleted them

A damn fool

I have reported some but few have been deleted. With the deluge of stupid reviews like the one Mirot87 had in his post there isnt enought time to take care of it. In elTwicho's digital signature (i think its his, well one of the mods) he has a quote it says "the idiots in these forums are breeding faster than the rest of us." I think thats very true!!

ur right. Today i ws looking t the electro guns reviews, and i notcied the angels were pretty low. So i check them out, and reported 6 or 7 bad reviews that were had nothign written in them and gave a rating of 1/10. For now, the best thing we can do is jsut keep reporting them, to give andrew some notcie, so it can be taken care of when he has a spare moment.

I reported one guy who did this, then he turns around and writes a bunch of phoney sounding 'review' and gives it the same rating. look at the Terminator Barrel review like 3 or 4 down. Sounds phoney alrite.

Also what are the newbie people gonna think. Maybe they wanted this one gun or barrel for a whole year and learn that is was a phony review and then they don't buy something they wanted for that reason.
