| Guys,
Everyone is entitled to there opinion, but I thought I might highlight a couple of reviews on iTunes at the moment. I encourage you to check them out, and if you disagree, tag them as such or even complain that they are inappropriate\inaccurate. As an avid listener these sort of comments seem out of order, and cannot help the podcast.
And for that reason im out by J. Bloggs on the 12th August (2 Stars)
This person wrote a long message, which is worth a look. They complain about Toz's boasting, and raise the issue of the Disability Living Allowance, and how Toz receiving items from listeners\companies might constitute benefit fraud."
More Whiny Than Cranky by Major Lag (1 Star)
A quick extract:-
"Hearing that he recently started complaining about nobody clicking the sponsored links on his website, and asking for donations to meet the sites running costs, seems to be pretty rich coming from a guy whose community once clubbed together to buy him a Playstation 3"

| Said it before, I'll say it again. Just ignore reviews you don't agree with. The more press you give them on forums and twitter ect, the more mileage the opinions of the dark days will get. |

| this was bought to my attention this weekend, and as such decided I was not going to say anything on the show as well, I'm well aware of who it is, as it has been said a few times now.
However my only problem from my point of view, is quite simply I do not see any other podcast having to put up with this kind of personal attack, and as such I just feel nor should I.
And as I have mentioned on many occasions now since we picked up on shout outs again since the last abusive reviews occurred, It is against the ToC of Itunes reviews, however it has to be flagged for anything to be removed.
Now I have to say I do not check the reviews now, since these occurrences, because to be quite honest I would simply Just throw in the towel, and I do not want to sound dramatic, I have been doing this now for nearly 3 years now, and one thing I will say, I have a family and I should not have to put up with it.
I will say I have since the weekend taken further steps to put a stop to this. But I can assure you, I will say , I'm not going to take much more of this, I shouldn't have to, and like I say, No one else has to. This is the third time now, and I will say there wont be a fourth.
I have only ever done this as a hobby from day one, me and my family should not have to put up with this, and I will not for much longer if this continues.
All I can say here is now, and it is my last comment, feel free to do what you want, regarding if you feel it's inappropriate, and you think it should be flagged. _________________   Please leave a Review & Subscribe via  - Follow me on  |

| I saw that review the other day while leaving mine and was gonna mention it in here but i chose not to as i dont think Toz would want us talking about it, the review is bang out of order i agree but speaking about it will make it worse so lets just leave it guys, its not nice for Toz |

| And i have flagged it anyway, give honest opinions about podcasts but not personal attacks as that is just plain wrong, if theres a way to have the review removed then lets do it |

| I am disappointed that some listeners of other podcasts feel that they need to do this. I listen to lot of other gaming podcasts and do not feel that i have to listen one exclusively. Don't let it get you down Toz, they want you to pack it in, don't give into the idiotic minority. The ironic thing is that they are helping cranky gamers move up the charts as any review (good or bad) helps. |

Saying things like "i will pull the plug" just makes them do it more and is what they want.
I would not mention it on the podcast or here. If they are not getting the attention they will stop. |
