I never really pay attention to the reviews on Spiceworks. If I'm looking for a product, I might start a new thread asking for recommendations, or I might search for other threads where people make recommendations. But I don't look at the review section. Am I unusual?
No, you are normal. The reviews are worthless because of the combination of anonymous reviews and the points associated with the reviews. It really makes the whole system completely valueless.
I'm getting a PDU from Eaton sometime next week, in return for writing a review. Is that wrong?

Nope, also I really like Eaton products and I want a free PDU.
Edit: ML really doesn't like me today.

Too late, it was last week and first 10 people to see the thread got PDU's. I was #2 or #3 I think.

Figures. I'm barely on SW anymore. Mostly I just check for updates to threads I've already posted on. I had something like 16 reviews deleted today...again...

Mostly they are real reviews that are deleted because they are merging entries. I get several each and every day. I have to post like crazy just to keep points at an even number. They waited more than half a decade to start cleaning up the review system which, I feel, is completely inappropriate. We offered to do this as part of the mod duties many years ago and were turned down. Deleting that stuff now really isn't appropriate although sorely needed. It is really way too late, the reviews are worthless. Worse than worthless, they are of negative value.
