Re: Flag an ISP review as "no longer with..." or "obsolete"
I do think I understand (but I will drink some more coffee just in case I am not getting it)  ... as I said in previous post - they system does not KNOW you don't have the service - its a catch all -- perhaps a flaw if you will.
Sometimes members do have multiple reviews for more than one ISP and they could be current -- ie one for home and one for office. And member sometimes want to add something. Or a member might not know they can lodge more than one review so the prompt shows them they can add a new review.
In your case I get that you do NOT have those services previously reviewed. We don't delete because of the value of what you had to say -- the issue becomes as you have said " I don't have anything to say cause ... I don't have the service" ...but I am saying ... its only a prompt -- if it is applicable use it ... and if it is not applicable do nothing. In your case ... its not applicable ...unless you a) have a new ISP ... or b) do have something new to say on your last review -- as in " all is still great -- they lowered my cost" or "all is still great except they raised my rates" etc.
Again ... as said ... it is annoying if you don't have anything to add - but it is a catch all prompt - a general flag - it is not reading your exact situation - "system" just sees that you have reviewed. period. And then sends out a note saying "hey ... wanna update ... or hey ... wanna lodge a new review"?
I don't want to sound argumentative in the least - only hoping to explain... and appreciate that the bump to review could stand a little improvement. |

| system does not KNOW you don't have the service I think Hall  was suggesting a switch that would allow a reviewer to tell the system that they no long have service.

(Broadvox is OLD!)
And have the review link stay on the user page,
but if no longer with the company, add a red X or something.
