I had someone post a review with a very low score and then repost AFTER visiting my site with a higher score. I asked (and received! Amen, BC) for the review that was done before my site was visited to be removed.

Ok, the BC is superb in their service. I didn't even have to click on the report button since thegoodknife deleted the lame review before I had a chance to officially 'report' it.

Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks, goodknife. I'll report away then. I'd be shocked if this guy didn't post the same review for everyone.

we delete generic reviews all the time. Especially when the same person has left the same review on dozens of other blogs.

Depends on what you mean by 'bad.' How about 'lame,' 'inaccurate,' or at least 'inconsistent'?

I don't understand how 'great blogs' receive a 7. haha. Must be a different standard for Hungarians...

Hmm... do generic reviews constitute grounds for removal? It's not necessarily abusive... it's just completely useless. I'd rather have people who visit my page provide actual substance.

Maybe I'm just too picky?

I could care less about my BC rank. I'd rather have accurate content displaying what my blog is all about or at least how it is genuinely perceived by the reviewer.

The last 'review' I received is so lame. "great blog" and he gave me a 7. Yah, whatever!

Well, did he give you a bad ranking? Or review?

The only way to get a comment removed is to report it. Once you report it, we will review it and determine if it needs to be removed.

Why would you, it adds to your BC rank doesn't it?

Someone just left the most generic blog review on my blog's BC profile page and it annoys me. I'm sure the guy didn't even visit my blog.

How do I delete it without 'reporting' it?
