Review Stream - Instant rejection?

I got this message after writing my first review for Review Stream... YOUR REVIEW IS NOT VALUABLE AND WE'RE NOT INTERESTED IN IT This came up instantly after submitting my review, which leads me to think it was rejected by an automated program and not an actual person. Has anyone else come across this? I tried writing an awesome review! :(

Hi I write for review stream. Usually when this happens it is because you have either not made it long enough, or not personal enough, with more description than personal opinions. I find that if this happens to me, I recheck the review, add a bit, or make it a bit more personal, and it usually gets accepted. Your review can be resubmitted after rejection. Look at it a bit like publishing. If it doesn't get published the first time, then try again. Don't give up hope, as the site is great and pays well. Good luck and happy reviewing.

Its not that it was rejected by an actual person. It was literally rejected 5 seconds after I submitted my review. I was taken directly to the rejection page. Could this be because of length?

The same thing happened to me. I think it's a shady website. How can an automated program know whether or not you have put "feeling" into a review? There's something else going on here. Absolutely ridiculous.

Hi Chain Prayer! There are several discussions about reviewstream here on myLot, just do a search. To summarize however, most people seem to think reviewstream is legit, several people have been paid and most rejections are usually due to not having enough words (there's a minimum of 200 words, which I know I read somewhere on the site, but can't find again). I wrote a review a few days ago and it was approved after 3 days. I've submitted another one and hope they accept it!
