### 󠀁[The Spammy “leave a review” keeps coming back](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-spammy-leave-a-review-keeps-coming-back/)󠁿

 [deleted](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lovesamla/) April 15, 2019

I don’t think vendors should try to force people to leave reviews and I also think
they should not spam the admin area with constant nag screens that even return when
you use a nag blocker. I wasn’t planning to leave a review, but if I have to to 
get rid of the nag: Overall I like this tool. I don’t like – the branding (unless
you pay a ridiculous price) – that the branding forces a backlink – that “share 
to social media” doesn’t help me but only beamer because it uses their handle – 
that the zapier integration is buggy at the most. Posts on LinkedIn are faulty and
embarassing I feel the spam thing is a common theme. From admin nag to “can we send
you notifications” on their website and from social media posts that use their handle
to forced backlinks.
