Is this commonplace? What i wrote:
"Glad i bought a 2015 model then, boost 148 can boost off"
"Hey, i didn't write that"!
This is what pb have published beside my name, within seconds (it must be a system they use for this):

Also i see duplicate comments in there. Did Orbea pay pb to falsify any negative comments?
I'd like to think it's an error with their comment system, rather than someone actually thinks the Pinkbike comments section is highly regarded enough for astroturfing.
Aye that's my initial reaction! It happened twice, then i popped up two more, one of which was changed but has now vanished, and one which appeared as i wrote it! You can't go back and edit your comments as far as i can tell either.
I dunno, some of the writers behaviour when they called out of some sexist comments left a lot to be desired, and iirc included some comment modifications. That said, it would be a fair bit of effort to write a parser to pick up on negative comments and auto replace them and would it really be worth a mods time to do it manually?
