Slice The Pie = BOO!!!

Banks, Oregon
May 3, 2017 7:13am CST
So i decided to join this review for money site called slicethepie after reviewing products for the last few hours and gathering a whopping 1.30 they blocked me. and when i signed in it said this Your account has been temporarily closed by the system because your ratings are not varied. Please contact our team When i contacted them they said i gave to many artists the rating of a 10??? How is that a bad thing? and how can they honestly know i don't think those artists are all a 10? i hope they unblock me as otherwise i wasted time on there for no reason. Ugh.....

I didn't have a favorable impression of slicethepie and your experience makes me cross them off.

They seem like they want you to have favorable reviews but not to favorable, and they want you to be honest but not to honest, it's like why don't they just fill out the reviews and put my name as i wrote the reviews and rated how i wanted how can they judge that? i gave something a 10 because i felt like i should..... oh well more time for mylot if i am not on there i guess lol

I did some product 'stuff' on slice the pie but really got incredibly bored writing about products I didn't own and had to describe off a tiny description. By the 25th table lamp or the 20th bedding set my brain was ready to explode. There's only so much you can say about that stuff.

Right, what was awful is they kept showing me the same dang shirt but in different colors, how varied can my review of a product be when the only difference in the last 4 shirts is the color!! it was quite boring..... and the first song review i did i wanted to rip my ears out worse music ever...

This is why I gave up on it. Writing reviews of the products or the music gets boring really quickly.

It's crazy isn't it? They don't want honest opinions apparently - just a mix over the range.

They are really picky on there. I am sure they will unblock you. Customer service is easy to deal with on there but they may lock your account again for another reason later on. I was on it and did really well but I left because it was always something.

They did unblock me and atleast it didnt take long for a response from them. They also said my reviews we're to similar, its like how different can my review be for a shirt that is exactly the same besides being a different color.

It's weird because i think out of reviewing 50 things i only gave 6 of them a 10 but since some of them we're in a row the system glitched and i got blocked, i am going to try it again tonight before bed as if it genuinely works and i dont get blocked again it could be a good way to make some extra cash to.

@chrissbergstrom I took a peek in their yesterday. They only let me do two music reviews and then the only one they would allow was some stupid video No matter what I tried to say, they wouldn't accept it. I liked them better when it was all music.

Yeah, what are you supposed to do if you really did think those artists are a 10? I have heard that you're supposed to vary ratings over there though. -- Also I have found that when I get close to payout - my account gets locked because of some issues with my isp. (Huh? Same one I've been using all along.) I find that suspect but I have gotten it worked out each time... any way good luck if you continue there.

@chrissbergstrom Yes, I have made payout several times there though the past couple of times, right about when I get to $9 they lock my account with that isp message ... takes a few emails back and forth to tech support but I have been able to log back in and cash out each time...

Do you have the opportunity to give a reason for your 10? Otherwise it might look like you always give a ten and they want to see a variety of ratings because not everyone is a 10.
