I have often wondered how bad products get good reviews on Newegg. I decided to leave a product review on this piece of junk Samsung Printer. I have had 2 Samsung printers over the years and they are terrible printers, have limited places that can repair them and don't honor their rebates.

So I left a bad review on this printer telling my experience. Well first the post wasn't submitted because it said that I didn't meet the posting criteria:

Newegg.com moderates all review submissions to ensure that only reviews that offer helpful insight are published.* What to include in your submission: • Experiences with a fully-functional product leading to perceived pros and cons** • Thoughts about the product's feature-set as you've experienced it What NOT to include in your submission: • Profanity, obscenity and other offensive language • Single-word reviews • Non product-specific reviews • Any mention of Newegg.com's competitors by name • URLs, specific pricing, and specific availability (or other time-sensitive information) • Experiences with a DOA, defective, damaged or otherwise semi-functional product** • Reviews that criticize the brand or reseller without a majority of the review offering product-specific insight *Newegg.com reserves the right to accept or reject any review in its sole and absolute own discretion **DOA's (Dead On Arrival) are an unavoidable aspect of any business model that involves direct shipment to customers. Please understand that Newegg.com ships only products it assumes to be functional and that any defective product you may have received was either damaged in transit or was anomalous.

So then I edited the post, gave it a one star and said 'Piece of junk and rebates not honored'. Well guess what that one went through but is not showing either in the ratings or in the posts.

So reading product reviews on Newegg's site is mostly sugar coated drivel. I guess the question is why should you even have reviews if they don't show the truth.
