And never mind "considerate". Just "correct" and "logical" and all of that good stuff.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #61 on:** April 29, 2018, 09:19:18 AM »

Okay, I just spent 45-plus minutes on the phone with Amazon. About half of that time was spent on hold and the other half hitting a brick wall with them repeating the same system message that a guideline was violated and therefore a review cannot be re-submitted. And yes, I started with a U.S. person, though I can't vouch for every single one I talked to. I just let the last person have an earful (maybe not quite in BK fashion, but close, damned close), and gave up.

(Sorry, BK. I'll be happy to put the review up elsewhere to even the score.)

Can you have purchased anything through Amazon to leave a review or $50 in books?

Jane · « **Reply #63 on:** April 29, 2018, 10:14:15 AM »

DR Chas's review has been posted under my name.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #64 on:** April 29, 2018, 10:44:14 AM »

DR Jane, thanks so much.

And now I must now head out for my afternoon thing. Later!

Thank you DR JANE - it would have to be after September when the show I direct at PCPH closes....but we shall see.

I am not holding my breath. You know in theatre, out of sight out of mind.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #66 on:** April 29, 2018, 11:03:21 AM »

Exactly like that DR FJL.

It would have been considerate if Amazon had simply declined the new review and explained you already submitted a review from the same address.

It looks like they are the epitome of flexibility when compared with this exchange from the Talkin Broadway board - every word guaranteed verbatim Everything short of their co-owner Mike Reynolds twirling his mustache and tying me to the train tracks with the train coming.

Right. I’m sure they mean family members at the same address. Anything other than that, we’re talking completely outside of their box.

I think Mr Reynolds is just plain nasty. But I suspect Amazon is more a lack of competence and not thinking things through.

I have avoided Talkin' Broadway and that other ATC board for years just because of the idiots running it....and some of the idiots that spend their lives in one or both places.....

Well that wasn't rude at all!. Do I even want to know why they write to you in that obnoxious tone? The problem with amazon is that the CS really don't know what is going on IMO. They should know their own rule.

Amazon has been acting crazy for a while re: book reviews. They won't let anyone review a book if they think that you know the author. They won't let any two people in the same household. But what if they both read the book. I've heard of so many reviews removed it's crazy and scary. Because you have little recourse.

Even if you are family your views can be very different.

You are welcome

About the review "I" posted. I went to see if it was in Keith's name since that is how our account is set up. I don't see the review. Does/did anyone see it?

I wish I had checked if my review posted before we left to do an errand. I have no idea if if posted or was removed because it was not my "material". Now if I try to write a review it offers me options under items we have purchased but not under GEE.

I hope I am simply doing something wrong and just need the process explained to me.
