Game reviews dates (published/updated problem)

[NEVDO]

After deleting review for a game and then making a new one it shows date the new one as updated, but not as published and published date has the date of the old review, though it was deleted. How can I delete review and publish a new one so it can be shown in the recent reviews?

[Moderate my posterior.]

you can't. That would be called an exploit.

You are updating a review, not reviewing for the first time.

how would that be an explot??

if you review a game in march and give it a negitive review then after a patch decide it was acturly good and change the origanal review then it should show the new date not to old one

also you can deleat a review of a game just go to the game page review then oin the right side of the page it should give you an option to deleate or edit

The thing is that after I delete it, and make a new one, it just updates the first one, that is the issue I have

Delete a review button should delete it and if you publish a new review, then it should show the date it was published, not that it was updated! Because then it is not a delete button.

Except that what you are doing is still updating your review. You are not posting a new one as you have posted one in the past. Ergo it will never be a recent review it will always be an updated review. Removing a review of something doesn't make your new insights a new review

When I am deleting review and writing new one, I expect it to have a new date as published, but not updated. And the problem which this causes is that my review can`t be shown for most of the people and it won`t get phumbs up/down for it as it is not in recent reviews and it is hard to find it, almost impossible, if the first time date when I published it was about a year ago.
I just don`t like this "feature".

If they didn't do it this way, people with an agenda would frequently, and in some cases: automatically, re-post their reviews as "new" so that they get the most exposure.

Reviews aren't screened, so there is no human person who can compare your old review to the new one and say, "Oh, this is completely different, it should be flagged as new." An automated system can check if a review is identical, or even mostly identical, but it cannot check if the "message" of the review is different. If you have a reason to bash or hype a game, you could just reword the essentially same review in ways that no automated system would catch. That is why the review system works the way it does.

The lesson here is not to post premature reviews.

Okay, thanks for information, clearly got an answer why it is working in that way, have a nice day!
