Without kvetching too much, I had a review declined for supposedly being too similar to another review. Upon checking all the other listings, the only similarity was with another review that used the same theme word. Many other accepted reviews for this movie had instances where the same theme word was used. Moreover, the theme word in my review was used to rhyme with something other than than what the other reviewer used for his rhyme.

Welcome to the fourum, Catuli! I don't think benj will be able to help unless you list the name of the film, the similar review and your review.
BTW, visited your review's pages--you have some great stuff there.

At the prompting of my esteemed colleague, StaLean, I'll be more specific in my observation about my declined review. The movie was that old Yuletime favorite "A Vagina For Christmas" and my review was "Gash-ing through the snow." It was declined for being too similar to another review. The only other review with "Gash" in the title was "Gash In For Christmas." Clearly this review's wordplay had "gash" referring to "cash" whereas mine had "gashing" for "dashing." Moreover there were multiple review containing "twat" "hole" and "clit." Also, two reviews were eerily "Dreaming Of Tight Christmas" and "Dreaming of Tight Chrismuff." I hope this unwholesome (un-hole-some?) review topic doesn't leave too negative a first impression. So I ask you, am I paranoid or a victim?

Howdy there, Catuli [Gesundheit!]. You have some great stuff, I've taken out the Voting Hammer and Smitten you soundly.
This is all subjective and inexact; there are inevitably going to be some decisions you don't agree with. But if one really, really bothers you, do what you just did: bring it up in a Fourum. benj will be around soon to defend or redress. |

Catuli,
I think you're right on this one... I even checked "Happy Ero Christmas" (foxboy has "banging through the snow") and "Scream Queens' Naked Christmas".
Since "gash" rhymes with "dash" and the title is specifically vaginal, I think you've got a good case and should try appealing it with a brief description as to why.
That said, per my post in "duplicate reviews" and sorry to say, but I think you should remove an excellent one for Calendar Girls... "Gray Anatomy" IS essentially a duplicate of Pope George Ringo's "Gray's Anatomy" which was approved a long time ago.
Hopefully, you'll find consolation in the fact that I discovered this after peppering you with more votes that that one has earned so far.

As Sludge so deftly pointed out, my highest scoring review is virtually the same as another one. Since I have complained about the issue of similarity, I'd be a hypocrite not to have it removed. Please transfer your votes on Calendar Girls to "Gray's Anatomy", written by Pope George Ringo. Ouch this hurts!!!

Of course, there always is mine here. |
