I always watch for user reviews loaded with hyperbole: "This Studio Projects C1 sounds EXACTLY like a Neumann u87!!"  How many times did you read that one the web?  Or my personal favorite "This UAD plugin sounds like ass compared to Waves", or the variant, "Waves sucks compared to UAD."  When you read that stuff you know the reviewer hasn't used any of the equipment he's comparing his stuff to.

review scores.. and advertising in mags .."hmm" a bit of a conflict.  as did happen years ago when a video game "renegade 3" got an amazing high score.. the game was awful... the game maker had loads of adverts in the mag that month.
 
I wrote a bad review for a jog wheel on amazon, that they didn't publish.. and the maker avoided returning emails also.. awful service.
 
I've been on the other side of it last year, and had to take legal action against someone who was writing lies on social media,  the person in question had to pay up. Wasn't a big amount I got back, and it tied up my money for a year.. but he will think again about writing such things online, I'm sure. it's amazing the other 3-5 I wanted to go after all started deleting their comments regarding me.
 
I'm not the sort of person do hire lawyers, but it got to the point where out of principle I had to. Odd they were quick to slate me.. yet not talk about the apology.. and the ring leader even "liked" the apology,go figure.
 
 
 
 

I'm of the opinion that 86.327% of every comment/post/review on the inter web is paid for in some manner.
(except this one)

A few years ago I had some nasty customer write a total smear job of my business because she was upset about a small surcharge on her invoice (that was perfectly legitimate and even discussed beforehand). Her entire review was a big lie from start to finish - knowing that she didn't really have anything to complain about, she simply made stuff up. Spun from whole cloth, the entire review. She also left another couple of hit and run one liners under different fake accounts. The site in question is notorious for not removing fake or slanderous reviews, and indeed I was only able to get them to remove the one liners. They said they didn't want to get into a company/customer dispute over details. 

I had to get my revenge on this scumbag somehow, so what I did was find out where this woman worked and called her boss. I told him that one of his employees was conducting a legally questionable smear campaign against me online, and that since the reviews had appeared in the middle of the afternoon it was almost certain that she was doing it from work. I pointed out to him that I intended to sue her, that stories involving companies suing reviewers usually generate media publicity, and that his company's name would be mentioned in court. He seemed pretty concerned and promised to get to the bottom of it. I just left it at that. Any outcome, from a stern ticking off to outright dismissal would have been OK with me. "Freedom of speech" is frequently cited when defending people who smear businesses with lies online, but what many people forget is how much these reviews can cost a business in revenue. Especially when said reviews cast doubt on the business owner's character and say things like "this guy is a psychopath - avoid." Something like that can cost a business revenue possibly in the tens of thousands of dollars and affect jobs. Which is why I always fight back.

 In one forum it has to be stated whether they are paid.
