Collage is allowing phony reviews on their site!
http://www.collagevideo.com/forum/tm...mpage=1#116885
I just want to share this thread with people. Collagevideo.com is allowing people to leave phony/multiple reviews for their products which effects the quality of the review system. Just a heads up. |

is the link to the workout in question... it looks like someone is just trying to start a fake review chain like they did for the Amazon howling wolf t shirt, where people by the hundreds started reviewing that the shirt changed their life. I think people do this all the time, trying to exert their power to start a joke... but I am disappointed that the Collage Moderator found nothing wrong with the reviews. If I were the instructor for the workout, or someone looking to buy it, I would want those gone. They're pointless and IMO demeaning of the instructor and the people who want to buy the video. Anyhow, ticks me off, but I guess I don't go by their reviews anyhow, and it seems like people in their forum are a bit miffed too...

That's disappointing.
Not that long ago VFers found that people, presumably someone who was associated with, if not the actual, instructors, were copying and pasting (selectively, too) their posts from VF and making them into Collage reviews; you can read more about it on this thread: Copying of VF reviews on other sites (was Someone also copied my review @ Collage!), which is currently a sticky at the top of the GD.

Collage seems mainly concerned with language (they want to be squeaky clean and wholesome, which is tricky when you're selling "Sexy Hot Bikini Abs") and the names of competitors (if you mention Beachbody or Amazon, they'll take that out). That seems to be the main thrusts of their review of reviews process.

I don't really read many reviews on collage anymore. It's so obvious when all the reviews are extremely positive, written on the same day, or there are 75 reviews for a workout that's been out for a few days. If I want an honest opinion, I usually ask my friends on Collage's forum. And I have to say that I buy from Totalfitnessdvd.com more than collage these days. With the 10% off, free shipping for $19 and more, plus the rewards system they have, you can't beat the value. And the customer service is just as good as Collage.
