Here's a preliminary report, I will have more on this the
beginning of Sept.
So far in August, Hattie has 804 votes, 579 of them helpful (72%) and 225 of them unhelpful (28%). This is for all of Hatties fake reviews, not just the August fake reviews (I note this because the stats below are for just the fake reviews for that month only). At this time, Hatties overall percent helpful is 74%.
Below are the stats from the past 3 months (again, these votes are just for the fake reviews that Hattie posted for that month).
Month-total votes-helpful votes-percent-unhelpful votes-percent
May 733 485 66% 248 34%
June 646 374 58% 272 42%
July 597 343 57% 254 43%
Notice any patterns? I do, her overall percent for August is 72% but the fake reviews for last month is just 57% gone down from 66% in May.
The thing that I find most interesting is, 72% of the total votes for August are helpful but, only 57% of the July fake reviews votes are helpful, does that mean that most of the helpful votes that she's getting are for older fake reviews? And, does this also mean that the comments that all of the Fraud Hattie Debunkers are leaving on her recent fake reviews are having an impact? I think YES!

Shall we laugh or shall we cry. Btw., the unusual pattern is probably due to her shilling (this month) for books whose publishers/authors haven't got into the "fan" bin (yet), and whose thankful votes did make it through the amazon screening filters.
Looks like Beachmama just got ax'd by ammy.
Doesn't surprise me in the least. There's a long list of people who got whacked, including more than once. They (amz) don't like this discussion and will bump posters off at the first opportunity. Which, the rules being unpublished/vague, is always present. Got a link to the disappeared examples?
I'll look some up.
Here's one that I know was Beachmama: http://www.amazon.com/review/R12DEDHXNDDJWJ/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=076532881X#wasThisHelpful

Great job, keep 'em coming. I'll try to dig some too. Thanks for the amazing statistics.
This is from Beachmama:
Hey Buck: This is
Beachmama! I just tried to post a message on the blog to let you (and everyone else) know that around 7:00am this morning Amazon deleted every single comment I made on HK's recent batch of junk reviews and every other comment I have ever made on any review and left me with this message:
** You must be in good standing in the Amazon community to post.
Apparently I can spend hundreds of dollars on Amazon but I am no longer allow an opinion on this well know fake who has more freedom there than any of us who are actual customers do. I had three unproductive conversations with their idea of customer service, pointed out while they are monitoring our every move, Harriet is allowed to post reviews in numbers impossible for any thinking human being
to believe. While controlling my temper I also referred them to several websites and the NY Times’ article because it’s pretty clear what Hattie is doing and what Amazon is allowing is no longer a
well kept secret.
I read Embee's post here:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R3F70KCR62CY1H/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg2?ie=UTF8&asin=0345511891&cdForum=Fx2LW1DDUCLP0MS&cdPage=2&cdThread=Tx2YZCJLMO4DLRK&store=books#wasThisHelpful
He's right; one by one they are shutting us down. Can I join the party where Amazon can’t
censor me?
WOW. Apparently I'm not the only one rattling the big dog's cage enough for them to take notice and bite me for my behavior.
If they spent half as much time figuring out how stupid/dishonest Harriet is making them look as they do monitoring us things at Amazon would improve. That NY Times article should have made them nervous.
Oh no, you're not the only one. There's a long list of "disappeared" posters. One day you notice that you can no longer post and that your whole "oeuvre" has been wiped out "by Amazon". In the past a stub remained with the name of the poster, but this year they "improved" their trace-hiding methods and the stub is no longer there so you don't know who that was they deleted.
