AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaarhg!
OK, I feel a bit better after a good scream.

I just spent some quality time reading and reviewing a piece, and pressed submit.
But, hey, Urbis slaps me with this one: “This item has been deleted since you began reading it”
Heh, well, ain’t that convenient…
Anyone else had this treat?

Steve, I don’t know how could this be fixed, after all, you can’t regulate when someone decides to erase their stuff, but maybe we could get our credits. We did the work, so it seems fair.
(no need to refund me, but it could reduce the future screaming of the members, hehe)

I’ve had this happen to me twice. I sent Lorrie the link to the story and my review and had my credits, oh glorious credits “credited” back. :)

I’m not gonna die because of 100ish credits, but let me tell you, that was the best review in the world. Ever. And than it disappeared in the cyber-oblivion. Gone. Forever. The world is a worse place now. I wish you could’ve read it. I wish you could’ve basked in its glory. The bestest review ever, believe you me! :)

::rushes off to write the crappiest review ever::

All our disappeared and unopened reviews are always our best reviews ever written. THat is my claim and I stick by it.

:P

This has happened so many times to me. I’d say about 3000 credits. And maybe four or five hours. You do want to scream or hit someone in your home.

I can top that but I won’t, DC. Suffice to say that gremlin has visited my keyboard as well more often than I like.

Ideally, once you start a review, you should be protected. You should be able to post it and get your credits even if the creator has deleted it. Perhaps we could have a deletion “limbo”, where you press “delete”, but it isn’t really deleted for another 24 hours. That way, the reviewer doesn’t get screwed. Also, the author could still open and read the review, if they notice it in the next 24 hours.

...Oh, and I think we should get a free nectarine every time we log in. That would be sweet.

We could possibly do something like this, EA.

WHOO-HOO! Free nectarines for all!

When will Urbis add the ‘review your way to free fruit’ feature?
And how many points is one nectarine worth?

I think 5000 is a good amount. It shows that you’re dedicated to your fruit quest and are willing to do what it takes for fruit.

Mmmm…fruit.

goes to get peanut butter covered apple

I am partial to cabbage for my points.

Hmm, now that I’ve slept on it I like the idea even more. I mean, you could spend your points on some total stranger’s stupid opinion on your flawless and divine writing, but stuff that! Gimme my fruit instead! I don’t care what others think while I’m sucking an orange :)))

I seriously don’t think we should limit this to fruit. I’m more of a vegetable fan myself. And nuts, they’re very satisfying.

“And nuts, they’re very satisfying.”

I know mine are. ;)

Maybe all the produce could be donated by urbis users who grow their own foods. That way everyone can enjoy my nuts! Hooray, free pecans for all! What… did you think I was talking about pistachios?

I have red currants, gooseberries, cherries and apples. Sorry, no nuts. Sad, but true.

What, no elderberries?

No, not in my backyard. We are, however, world famous for them here in Germany.
