Gamespot removing reviews

Ok - so I decided to post a blog, since someone at Game Spot headquarters thinks I am ranting...  First let me say that I posted two reviews for Test Drive Unlimited and gave it a score of 5.5.  The first time I wrote the review was based off of the demo from Xbox Live, which is an exact demo of the actual game play itself.  Therefore I should be able to write a review based on that, but taking Gamespot's point - they stated in the TOS that you must review the full game, so that would exclude demos.

Next, I bought the game this morning and played it for 5 hours straight.  Gamespot can see my receipt if they want...  Then I wrote another review with the same expressions and score.  I stated in my review that I had bought the actual game and they actually deleted my posting again and said I was ranting.  Well now I am ranting and I am very ticked off.

After my first post was deleted I bought the game just for the simple reason that I wanted people to see my review and to not buy into all the hype about the game.  It is not a big deal if other people waste their money buying the game, but it is a big deal that when I follow the rules they delete my review, mainly because (IMO) I rated the game 5.5.

At any rate this is not acceptable behaviour from Gamespot and I am sure this "blog" will be deleted.  Atleast 2 people got to review my last review and agree to it before it was deleted.

Also, I would like to point out that there is another review currently up on this website that was based on a demo and that review has not been deleted...  Of course the person posting that review gave the game a 9.4 and their handle on this site is projump2001.  I have a screen shot of their post as well - in case their's is deleted...  I just thought people should know that my review was trashed because of the low score I gave the game and that other people are not being treat equally.  I also think I will try to get my membership money back.  Thanks Gamespot
