GenGuy Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Many times I have seen items listed on the marketplace that will claim x number of reviews yet when you look for them all it is found that in some cases many of the reviews are missing. One such glaring example is this item which states in it's listing that there are 34 reviews yet only ONE of them is viewable! See https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Spy-Cam-v17/217625 This particular seller has more than item that is failing to display anywhere near the number of stated reviews. So what is the poilicy on NOT showing ALL the reviews that is claimed in a listing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, but someone will correct me if I am wrong, when the old marketplace migrated to the new one it kept the review figures but not the actual text. So anything from before 2010/11 is missing but the figures of reviews remains the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Cindy - if what you say is correct it is a major oversight by those responsible for the migration in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think it is a great feature, it is an instant reminder on how old the product is. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that old reviews (before what is now the Marketplace was owned by Linden Lab) were allowed to have no text at all, simply a "star" rating. The number of stars is the average and these old "stars only" reviews are included. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some who have suggested we go back to the stars only reviews as people seemed to leave reviews more readily in those days. I'm not sure that's the case though.

Depends if it is a product people want to publicly admit buying... The snu snu industry would clearly get more reviews if they were anonymous.

Another reason ppl left more reviews was that LL made it so easy. You could, for example, go to a page of your purchases with thumbnails and review them easily. But it is a really good thing to require a review, not just stars, so prospective buyers are informed.

Moderators Dakota Linden Posted April 12, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 12, 2019 Greetings! Everyone is correct! The original SLExchange/XstreetSL Marketplace did not require review comments. Buyers could leave a just a star rating, or they could leave a star rating & review comments on their purchases. These were originally called just that, Ratings and Reviews, since they could be separate. When products that were listed on that old Marketplace system were migrated to the SL Marketplace, the Ratings & Reviews were also migrated with the listings so some old listings may only have Star Ratings with no actual Review Comments on them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
