The BLACKLIST - Terms, Conditions, and List

[PLANETGETLOW]

Original Thread: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...ight=blacklist

Purpose of the BLACKLIST: to provide a reference source to company representatives in order to help weed out known unreliable product reviewers. This benefits the companies offering their products for review by listing known waters and benefits general members by eliminating wasters from applicant pools. Accepting a free product in exchange for a review and not following up with your end of the deal is essentially theft.

This is applicable to sponsored reviews only. If you purchase a product yourself you are exempt.


Guidelines for the BLACKLIST:

1) Only representatives from the company supplying the product may nominate someone for blacklisting. Hopefully this will remove any potential ‘backstabbing’ between members. There needent be a bandwagon effect between members ganging up on certain unpopular members. If companies can’t track their reviews properly that’s all on them.

Initially, candidates will only be applicable for blacklisting from any ones company’s most recent group of product reviewers. Blacklisting is not retroactive of past log failures, rather begins from this point forward. Those currently in the process of logging sponsored supplements are exempt from Blacklist standards, however not exempt from the company's log standards.

2) The rep has to clearly state the basic prerequisites for the candidates (number of updates per week, progress pictures, relevant information to be tracked and updated regularly etc). By posting an application to review a product the candidate accepts these terms. Reps cannot deviate from these prerequisites unless a formal public posting has been accepted by all testing parties as well as given moderator approval.

3) Only a moderator ultimately determines whether someone will be put on the blacklist.

4) A lukewarm or negative review on any product is NOT a candidate for blacklisting unless it violates other guidelines. Should reviewing parties comply with the standards set forth by the rep prior to testing, nomination for Blacklisting will be ignored.

5) At least one verifiable attempt must have been made to rectify an iffy log by the company via email or PM as well as several public posting attempts within the log itself. Bumping a thread is (unfortunately) not enough. Upon nomination of blacklisting if a Moderator wishes to also contact the reviewer prior to blacklisting that is their case-by-case decision.

6) If unforseen circumstances arrise it is up to the reviewer to contact the company, not the other way around. Such circumstances will also need to be addressed with myself or another moderator if the Blacklist discussion is underway. Unforseen circumstances include those that would render the reviewer physically unable to continue his/her log (ie. extreme sickness, injury, etc.).

7) The reviewer is NOT above COMMON SENSE. Certain things are implicit and not everything needs to be outlined every single time.

BLACKLISTING:

8) In order to be placed on the blacklist a rep must determine suitability via guidelines 1)-6) and then post the screen name of the candidate, a link to the review in question and infringements, and PM the nominated user and CC a moderator linking them to their nomination. Prior to public posting of a potential Blacklist member, reps should alert me prior by sending a pm. Blacklisted members are subject to a minimum 1 month ban from the boards and their reps will be reset to -1k which will begin immediately after he/she is Blacklisted. After the PM is sent, the user has 7 days to respond.

REDEMPTION:

9) If a blacklistee wishes to be removed from the blacklist they can:

-
- carry out at least three complete logs to a high standard with products they have purchased themselves. Realize that attempting to redeem yourself from the Blacklist means your next logs will be possibly judged more strictly and will depend on the product selection (logging a B-Complex is not acceptable for example).

As always… Moderator’s decisions are final.

What about the blacklist that was created about 3 weeks ago? Is it in effect or are we starting fresh?

[KwayZee]

Nominated for Blacklist (not official/use caution!):
KwayZee

Not sure why I'm up here. I reviewed the product in question and have completed many logs & reviews for many different products since then. Here's the review to the product I was nominated for:

you were listed because you were nominated by a rep but no action was taken

i have listed all names in order to be impartial

Gotcha

[MuscleMom]

I would like to vouch for KwayZee and ask that his name be removed from the "nomination" list. He was "late" getting a log up due to taking an unplanned hiatus from lifting and stims but when he did come back he did do a fantastic job with a sponsored log for ErgoGenix as well as several others that were not required.

Thank you MuscleMom. I have had no problems with KwayZee either.

We should keep the lines of communication open to discuss all good/problem members.

Agreed I found it very redeeming that even after his hiatus, he didn't drop the ball and let the log just fall to the wayside. IMO, he did a really great job!

[HICKT0WN]

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=141211961

Unfortunately, I need to nominate:

flipnch1nese7

He won the promo in the above thread, and I do not believe he has been active on bb.com since. I have sent two PM's over the past 2 weeks and have not recieved any communication from him. He has never started his log.

I agree on this. Below is the link to my thread that he has never posted a review for either.

You only would have taken him down half of 1 rep point, I doubt he even noticed.

Just rep him again with a positive rep should offset the negative I would think

[AJP1]

The old list went away...
I'll be keeping an eye out thx.

[AlecGaspari]

[TheMatzah]

Unfortunately, I will have to nominate AirBull {see him above now} and P1noy

P1noy: no activity for over 2 weeks, sent PM's as well:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...#post848030763

AirBull: no activity for 8 days now, sent PM's as well:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...#post848030423

Thoughts? Give 'em another week or call it a wrap..been active in other thread {misc}.

[coolaidml]

I am going to have to report reefseller as he has not done a log which he was chosen to do. He was sent the product and then completely disappeared from the forums. I have PM'd him and called him out of the forums but he's been off the forum for a month now.

Here is the thread where he was chosen in: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...#post849604813

He has just updated his thread however not much in depth logging

[TheMatzah]

Indeed, he has and I'd have to agree with your comment as well. I'd say it's OK to remove him from my previous BL nomination post.

P1noy however has been MIA and needs to be on that list. No log update. No reply to PM's.

[RyouBakua]

i would like to nominate phoenixr2 and pwicks83 for blacklist

they were both sent tubs of Beta-Cret to log

(both of them agreed to log everyday when they applied per promo rules)


i tried to be patient and stretched this out as much possible to give each of them the benefit of the doubt

but it has simply been too long without a definitive plan of action from either of them




phoenixr2:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...enix+beta-cret

got the product on 1/19
logged a handful of workouts until 2/21 when he disappeared (no PM/explantion)
returned 3 weeks later on 3/13 saying he was sick
(even though his post history shows him posting around during this time)

*it is 3/21 and has not logged a workout since 2/21

*4 weeks without logging

*he is still semi-active in the forums and his personal log
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...#post849551123




pwicks83:

on 1/18, PMed me saying he had some personal stuff to deal with
