NWFlyer 2 #4 July 2, 2011 Why would it be unethical? Could be just as likely to get bad reviews as good reviews."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

popsjumper 2 #11 July 5, 2011 Quote May we know which DZ it is? None in particular. Of course, if you're going to beg for reviews, then it would be a good idea to make sure that you'd get a good one first, eh? My reality and yours are quite different.

Meso 38 #13 July 5, 2011 It's something that I was actually on the fence about too. I saw a bunch of reviews coming in the one day for the dropzone in question and wasn't sure whether to validate them or not. I investigated whether the users writing the review were maybe just created to boost ratings but I saw that they were legit skydivers, so after a few days of procrastinating I validated them. I then got an e-mail from someone asking about where they do the survey for cheaper jump tickets, I had no idea what they were talking about, until finally it clicked. My decision was that it seemed to be okay, they weren't manipulating the rating values by telling people to only review 5 star ratings or anything like that (as far as I know). And people were still able to rate negatively, if that was their experience. And it's not really practical to say "Stop telling people to review your dropzone on our site". It's definitely a bit of a grey area and if there are objections by other DZs I may go to Sangiro with the topic and see what he has to say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougH 270 #15 July 5, 2011 I think it is a little less ethical if they are giving a service or discount in return for a review. Review my dropzone and get a 10 dollar jump ticket has a little more influence than a sign that says "If you liked your experince we would appreciate a review". Just my 2 pesos."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
