MWoo7 Posted September 30, 2018 #1251 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Has anyone noticed that some sites out of a certain part of a certain country when one comments NO MATTER WHAT, they have 20 reasons posted there at their desk TO BLOCK THE COMMENT ? oh ha and get this..> true and happens all the time(sadly) and it was a ratings comment area for Sears Lawn-mowers or Hand Saws / drills etc for example. It is rather satisfying after one goes THROUGH the hassle of remembering one of your trashed garbage MAIL ! email addresses and then you do the play clicky fun thing then maybe do it again because nothing showed in email oh its just bliss. There is certainly no shortage of those type of sites either, if your review is not all bells and whistles or your comment has a tinge of not being flowery, nope purple monster DELETE! coming up! <==============)===<> CLOSED FOR MODERATOR REVIEW <>==)==============> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
