Take a photo of garbage dump in Anytown USA and post it as the definitive proof a park is the pits. Or, take some photos of Amen Corner the next time you play Augusta National and you can use it as proof the park you wish to promote has great landscaping. Too lazy to actually go out and get those pictures? Photoshop in whatever you like from the comfort of your own living room. Bet the first time a park gets a review with a false picture you are really going to get some pushback. An opinion is just that, an opinion, but a photo is concrete proof and if someone starts posting manipulated photos, an aggrieved party may actually have grounds for a legal claim.tsetsaf wrote:2oldman wrote:
As for the reviews, they're silly, but, the bigger problem is that they're not monitored.
Amazon has a good policy where the makers of products actually read reviews, and respond to them. That keeps the internet trolls at bay.
Amazon products are a leader in fake reviews. It is a really big problem there. For the reasons expressed by the OP I have jumped in to www.campgroundviews.com submitting pictures, videos and reviews. We got burned too many times trying to interpret reviews on rvparkreviews plus we found out how many parks they are missing. I have one of those smart phones so it takes five minutes to shoot some vid and pics then send them over.
The new software platform that RVParkReviews is being migrated to will permit users to submit pictures along with their reviews.
It's also my understanding that the new database will include all parks, even those that haven't been reviewed.
As for having "all" parks listed, that will only be as accurate as the database you draw the list from.
So what "you" are saying is all campground reviews on the net are useless, and any attempts to make them better are a act of futility, as there is nothing but dishonest people writing the reviews and the rest of us are to stupid to weed through the BS posts, and rules are meant to be broken? :h
