Changes To Website Review Approvals, Please read Options

[Webmaster]

We have found it necessary to add some more security to the website when it comes to approving reviews. All members will now have to submit a minimum of three (3) different campgrounds before any of their reviews will be posted on the website. If you have not seen a recent review you submitted posted on the website that is because it is in a holding queue until the three review quota has been met and then they will automatically transfer to the approval queue and will then be posted. Any member that has already posted three or more will see no change. Sorry we have to do this but some campground owner's/employees think they don't have to follow the rules of this website and continue to try to post great reviews about their campground. The "great" campgrounds will never have to do that as they will always receive positive reviews from their customers. We have caught several and will continue to do so to try to keep this website as it was intended.

abbygolden,

I checked the 300+ reviews that we have right now and did not find one with your username. Because I have helped you in the past with a "lost” review I know that you use a different username to post reviews, but I did not find a review with that name either. So my first question is have you changed usernames? And if not, my second question is what is the name of the park (and its location) that you reviewed? You can send me a personal message or you can click on the "contact us” button at the bottom of each page, and we will be glad to try to find your review.

Most interesting. Not long after I posted my original request my review was posted online and also the subsequent post from John Blue was posted. Now YOU are saying you can't find one with my username. My guess is that after a review is posted, it is removed from the queue so it won't be repeated and that's probably what happened here.

I have never changed my username here (that I can recall), although I do use different usernames on other forums. As to your second question, the "problem" was already solved earlier today although I'd be happy to send you the info if you desire.

I'm not complaining that one of my reviews didn't make it. I just wanted to make sure it got into the queue. If it didn't make it to the desired destination, it wouldn't be the first time that has happend on the internet. There are some strange gremlins out there. And - you have helped me on at least one other occasion and I appreciate the help from you and anyone else on staff.

If you are truly a Texan - so many say they are but they are faux Texans - I'm sure you will appreciate that I'm on the caost of Oregon this summer where the high has been 67. I think I made a wise choice considering how hot it has been back home all summer.

It sounds like all our posts and reviews "crossed in the mail." If you sent in a review at the beginning of the week, it had to be near the top of the queue by now, and it must have been approved before any of us saw your post. And yes, once a review is posted it is removed from the queue, so that is why I could not find it.

I am 99.9999% sure your reviews come in under a different username. I know this because of a review I helped you with in 2009. If you want to send a PM to me with the park name for the most recent review, I can check for sure and see what username was on the review. Or since this problem is settled we can consider it closed.

I did not think you were complaining. Reviews do get lost once in a while. We are much slower getting reviews posted this time of year, and you waited a reasonable time before inquiring.

I am 100% native Texan, and you should be glad you are in Oregon for the summer. We're melting!!! We are way past keeping things green; we are just trying to keep them from dying.

Thanks for supporting the website, and keep those reviews coming regardless of whatever name they come from.
