Some or most reviews when I had BCD access were embellished anyways or ymmv, which to me is inconsistency.
If this goes thru, I think you probably have less hobbyists online but who knows bc one wants to be utr, but if you are online in any way, you aren't exactly utr. Then again some guys love the limelight.
I just look forward to the added comments and can't wait to see a review Joe Hobbyist was fantastic with pics or vice versa with a heck no review! I hobby for fun and don't take it as serious as others may. As far as a screening tool used, wouldn't be the best idea, who is to say that is a "real review" if you get my saying. For me, I wouldn't care, but would it be like Ros for gals instead of guys. Guys wouldn't be able to see Ros? Then how would the feedback help (on poll) unless regardless Ros would still be posted without additional membership fees. It would be another revenue stream for eccie if ladies had to pay hobbyist Ros and even guys to see thei own Ros ha. Would there be only female mods staff moderating the reviews? Oh I can imagine how many edits they have to do on hobbyists comments on their own reviews since gals cannot comment on reviews.
All things to consider. Great topic for discussion. I can imagine the even more "drama" with this and should be fun reads to see it even if I get reviewed which I wouldn't care or even respond.
