Warning for the review copies "thieves"

hideath said:

It's just a random idea that did come into my mind,
i do not sell, neither have any problem with the case,
but i do see many sellers complaining about users getting free review copies then leaving their review after a long time or not at all,
some warning points to such behaviour can be really useful to stop this especially when the seller does set a max time for this

• You must provide the seller with genuine feedback.
• Do not leave fake reviews for service owners.

There should be a 3 or 6 point warning for those not leaving feedback, either in private or public.
At the end of the day it's theft.

It is covered in the rules as posted by @Zwielicht :

What Isn't Allowed For Beta Testers

• You must provide the seller with genuine feedback.
• Do not leave fake reviews for service owners.

As with all sections, beta testing threads must comply the forum-wide rules & TOS.

Nope, but the warning is something that would prevent people scamming sellers.

I know you can set criteria for people you want to choose and as Beta Testing is not first come, first served, that should reduce the number of numpties who might be tempted to do this.

Some people are in a hurry that they don't even read the thread & requirements. Not providing review is nothing but a scam. Some of them might also be resellers. This is also the reason most sellers avoid newbies and less-familiar accounts. Warning system should keep scammers away.

If a seller gives a review copy out and the person does not provide a review, feel free to PM me.

I've not got an issue with fixing that either via PM or a warning as that is not proper.

I've done it before multiple times and have no issue keeping the rudder in the same direction going forward.
