Ghost reviews (and why I should stop deleting everything I write)

I originally wrote two reviews when I started on this site - and like a numpty, I deleted them both. (Why? Because they reeked of my ex's negativity - never let your significant other dictate what you enjoy!) I've only just discovered that once you delete any reviews, you can't write a new one for that platform, and the 'ghosts' of your previous reviews remain on your page, despite neither of mine existing on the site anymore.

I got around it by writing my newer review for Final Fantasy X for the PS3, but I guess I won't be able to review Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines now unless I just write it on my blog.

Lesson learnt, I guess.

Wow. Thanks for the heads-up. That's kind of a weird bug.

@Sparky_Buzzsaw: I know, it's apparently the same across all Whiskey Media sites, they just don't know how to fix it. I'm glad I know now, but still kinda annoyed I have these ghosts of reviews that have long been deleted - that's just me being awkward though!
