Review stacking

Online reviews that have been written by paid reviewers or directly by manufacturers, vendors, or other stakeholders.
Usually appear on web-pages alongside products for sale on sites like Amazon or eBay.
Also appear on shopping aggregators like Google's shopping pages and many others.

Frequently used tactic to boost a product's image and desirability by appearing to be based on actual user experiences,
but may also be used to denigrate or put-down products (or services) with negative comments and apparent user experiences.

User experience is the key to this type of false marketing, or 'lying' about products. With the rise of Social Media, online
communication has become an important factor in social relationships, becoming one of the newest sources of 'word of mouth'
reviews, comparisons and recommendations. Marketers seek to manipulate this otherwise valuable pool of honest opinion and
experience by hiring schills to write reviews, stacking the odds in their favor or against other products unfairly or untruly. By doing
so, they reduce the value of the honest reviews, recommendations and experiences that are usually posted -- many people are
quite honest and the drive to be helpful to other people is one of the strongest of social drives.

"I have used this <product> many times and it is the best <product> available in my city." (actual review stacking of a brand of soap)
"This <product> caused my toenails to turn yellow" (actual review stacking of a shampoo)

"It was amazing, started on first pull and has been powering my whole house and my nabor's sic house for two weeks."

(with a 2500W generator? really? totally review stacking)

Review Curve

An annual review where you were told in person you were great, outstanding, etc. and then receive a "medium" written review because the "Review Curve" says that you can't give it to more than one person on your team.

Although my boss said I was an outstanding employee last year in the review meeting, I got review curved and received a "3" on my annual review.

sniper review

n/v; to enter a file, review all working papers, leave review notes and exit the file without knowledge of the audit team. Upon opening the file, the audit team realizes a review has been performed, and review notes left, without ever having had any idea it was coming.

I was out at a client and had no idea my manager sniper reviewed my audit file until I went into it and saw review notes everywhere.

escort review

A hobbyist's detailed experience about an encounter with an escort that includes the escort's physical stats, services provided, and if the escort should be recommended. It do more harm than good for escorts in criminalized nations due to unregulation as review forums would dictate what determined an escort's rating based on their own abusive & unsafe standards and disregarded the hobbyist's rating. These reviews can be fake & harmful to an escort's reputation, or they can be explicit locker room talk with only side of the story since the escort themselves cannot comment on their own behalf.

The cheap, yet ambitious hobbyist, was determined to seek cheap & naive sugar babies, so he could write escort reviews to gain access to the review forum's extras that were enjoyed by paying exclusive members.
