Can't really get rid of the stars as the review system is a site wide tool and any edits like that could have a knock on effect elsewhere or in the future Another option would be to remove it completely for events and just say use the comments but as said I do feel it is a feature which does allows members (both punters and people involved) to give a more deliberate viewpoint if wish and so worthwhile I have added the below to show when a 'promoter' has posted a review so in theory all reading should be more aware where the 'take' is coming from Promoters view: Please note the below 'view' was posted by the 'promoter'

thanks both of you for taking time to pass on ya views the problem is that the main and only workable place to give 'after event' views is the 'reviews' section of the event entry No real way can change this, We did once have a no promoters post 'reviews' policy but that was very problematic Any such system needs to be automatic and as the only way we can id 'promoters' is by the member posting the event - this can lead to various issues, as not every promoter is the actual event poster, plus we do have events being run by teams as in more than one person and we can't id every one involved . But ain't that that 'promoters' fault, I do read some 'promoters' give a decent worthwhile after event view Could/should people say ok that is/was a 'promoters' view and then be able to take that in to consideration? ----------------------- I feel it be better if we have a open and easy to use enjoyable 'review' system Where promoters are encouraged to pass on views afterwards and connect with members who have attended as Joan says if we stop all them posting then we wont get that imo Possible improvement may be to mark/highlight the review as promoters/authors/involved view/post, any others?

Event: The Big South West Weekender Review: 4 stars by Monny1916. Event Date: 28 Jun 2024 last years event was probably not the best weekend as i pointed out in my revue which i rated as a generous 3 , but being their first i was hoping for a little more this year well someone certainly took note , the music ( which is the main reason we are here ) was so good almost niter style , (even TED played DAMON ) what a change from last years top 500 repetition this years attendees were more knowledgeable ,, so this year i will gi...

regarding people involved in the event posting reviews afterwards my take is as per below a promoters (or someone who is involved) viewpoint can be interesting, yep sure its not always going to be that way from every promoter, a lot does depend on the actual promoters style/manner etc, but most of promoters on here do give a interesting 'take' And as long as everyone is or can be aware that they are part of the event team and so are giving an 'involved' view, then there shouldn't be a problem, should there? any views out there ?

Event: The Big South West Weekender Review: 5 stars by Longin The Tooth. 1 member rated this review helpful. Event Date: 28 Jun 2024 Im back down to reality after this weekender, and well what can I say about this event. There was a party of us who encamped in the main ballroom all weekend. That was for all sessions. Some of our party have been in the NS scene for some time and there comments flying about I havent heard this record for a long time. Other comments were, whats this, its new to me. The point Im making is that the music was varied for all tastes and the DJs mixed it... Tap to view the full event review

Event: Soul At Grimsargh Village Hall Review: 5 stars by Soulfulmerlin. Event Date: 29 Jun 2024 OK, Chic Mullineux, WOW. I recall at a Rugby Allnighter hopefully asking if you would like to come to Grimsargh Village Hall. Although at the time of conversion we were based at Poplar Club. However Sound Limiter issues. Bad bar staff it came to an end. Now building Grimsargh Village Hall. Oh my days did we get a treat. Chic rang me on morning of the event to ask as to what we would require. Informed him. We dont tell DJs what to play, its your set. We ... Tap to view the full event review
