I'm sure all of you have written a review in the full knowledge that it was destined to be accepted and hailed to the hilt. Such was the case when I wrote a review for "Wolf In Sheep's Clothing." My review was "Wool-f?" I thought the "Wool" caught the appearance of a sheep and the added "f" forming "Wool-f" conveyed that it was really a Wolf. The question mark was applied to indicate the mystery and disguise element. Obviously the MERPS disagreed, declining the review with no cited reason.
I welcome whatever thoughts you may have as to why the review was declined. I promise to be an attentive listener.

OK, now seriously, there's nothing wrong with your review. Resubmit it. Just make sure it doesn't get more votes than my review, OK?

I love it! I vote "resubmit" as well. In case it gets kicked back again, try reformatting it. Try:
Wool(f?)
Wo(o)l(f)?
Wool wolf
etc, etc.
I think your original is great. Unfortunately, I don't get to say "yea" or "nay," and sometimes, if a beloved review just can't get through, you have to "bastardize" it a bit to sneak it in.
Good luck! |

Wow, thanks for the encouragement gang, I'll resubmit it and state that there's a groundswell of support, although I won't embarrass anyone by citing names. Don't worry Whipper, I only aspire to having the second best entry for that movie.

| Yeah, that's a headscratcher. Can't say I see a thing wrong with it. |

I even think it would be OK as "Woolf." What else could it mean?  |

Worth mentioning... when you resub, explain it.
edit - nicely done, voted for it.

Yup, this is the best form. It's really frustrating when people hit on a good pun and mess it up by adding needless punctuation or words. (The only problem with this is that it could refer to Virginia Woolf.)
This didn't need to be a new thread, though. Why couldn't the query be included in one of the many previous ones? |

Since the loosening up of the generic rule that shouldn't be a problem. |

"Wool-f?" just got approved. I almost feel guilty, like a spoiled brat who got rewarded after throwing a tantrum. The key word in that previous sentence is "almost." Thanks for you feedback all.

| We've seen (and, I should say, thrown) far greater tantrums for far worse reviews. |
