Why does my review keep getting rejected?

[jamespoet]

I posted my review twice, and both times I did the rating system as was stipulated in the guidelines. But both times the review was rejected, and no matter how many times I went back to edit the post and boldline the rating, it still rejects it. What am I doing wrong?

I think the problem is with your spaces (the # sign is redundant). Also you can't give half stars rating. You have to rate the book on a scale of 1 to 4 stars with 1 being the worst and 4 being the best.

But that's the thing: I did give the one to 4 rating. Unless of course they don't allow the word "star" in that either...

OK, I edited resubmitted the review (apparently even the edits weren't allowed anymore) and it accepted it. So I feel beter about it now. Thanks so much for your help.

On the other reviews you gave it 2.5 stars.

I am glad it worked out for you and you are welcome.

Yeah, my stubborn selfhad to figure that out after tinkering with it. I'm still learning how to use the forum and what-not. I promise I'll get the hang of things soon enough.

No problem. If you need further help, just ask.

It's much appreciated. I'd picked another book to review, but I found that I couldn't finish it because I didn't realize it was a paranormal thriller and those kinds of books don't hold my interest. I filled the online form for why I couldn't finish it, so I'm not sure what I am to do now after I filed the form...

Send the report and pm Scott about it.

The author probably asked for a free review, which are apparently ignored.

Free reviews have nothing to do with that. I have reviewed plenty of free books and I finished them on time.
