Duplicate reviews?
Hi all. I have been reading some reviews trying to decide what to get from the latest Rewards Room. I have just come across duplicate reviews from two different members. I’m talking, word for word copied and pasted! Has this come up before? Who should I contact about this? Disappointing as some people (myself included) work really hard on their reviews, and if people are copying others’ reviews in order to boost their points it’s quite unfair!

I think this has to do with the previous voting system on beautyheaven. Like skincare junkie said you were allowed to do multiple reviews and it was allowed.
I think everyone is jumping ahead here.
Like I also mentioned it was the way to win the competitions which is why you will see multiple reviews by same members for products- THE WINNERS WERE CHOSEN BY BEST REVIEWS- AND thus had to resubmit there review during voting period. It was allowed even if it was a duplicate. -

That review was written well after that system ended as it’s dated May 2017 so the duplicate review thing ended long before that if memory serves me? I have been here around 3 years and remember the last big BH rollover to the new system and all sorts of weird and not so wonderful things went wrong. That member posted here on the forums regularly I don’t think she’d copy a review.

If this is the one by a member starting with S and 154 reviews I really think this is a glitch in the BH system rather than intentional plagiarism. This member used to frequent the forums and I doubt she would have done it. Also you shouldn’t be able to post 2 reviews with the same username as the system doesn’t allow this, more than likely a glitch.

There were some duplicates that I picked up on earlier in the year or at the end of last year. I just emailed bh and the issue was addressed.
Maybe we should all be more vigilant, but I suppose we don’t stop to consider every day that there are unscrupulous members on the site.

I know which one you mean! Then they did another one literally a few minutes later too. Seriously why do people do this? I can’t understand why you would copy someone’s review and also how there are 2 reviews from the same person as well on 1 product? The option to review doesn’t come up if you’ve already done it so I wonder how it happens?

Good job for noticing it Lizabella. I wonder how many more there are that haven’t been noticed. I can’t believe that someone will do that when I’ve read a number of times on BH that duplicate reviews are not accepted. They are obviously not a true BH member and just want points for rewards. The site states that point raking members
will be banned from the Rewards program or even the site entirely which is definitely fair.
