EDIT: When I say abuse I didn't mean I was slapping someone in the face with he device during my review, I meant in terms of abuse of the Community Guidelines for reviewers
I'll also add that, if I look at the merchant history I can see that a verified buyer also did a review stating the same thing I did and Amazon has stricken it as the record as a fulfillment issue. I would guess that this seller is saying that ppl received the "wrong item" accidentally. If I look into their review history as a whole, most < 4 star reviews are crossed-off as fulfillment errors .... not sure why Amazon can't notice the pattern ... this seller is obviously blocking negative reviews (and is successful at it)

So I had a review for a game console. It claimed to be an R36S but what you get is an R36SX in an R36S box
The "X" on the end isn't to signal it as an upgrade ... it is just minimal effort to not blatantly lie.
The X "variant" has half the RAM, a locked down OS, not L3/R3 buttons, no network support, and a slower processor. I took photos comparing the motherboard of a legit R36S I own and this fake product to show that the hardware is, in fact, not as expected.
This is 100% bait and switch.
I gave the product 1 star and listed the differences between this product and what you would expect an R36S to have. It passed the initial review scanner through Vine. Up for about a day, then mysteriously removed.
I noticed other vine reviewers mentioned this is a fake/clone ... but quizzically they still gave it a 4/5
I have emailed Vine customer support to have them look into this - I definitely am not going to submit another review.
I suppose this is somewhat of a rant of how broken the system is and how I cannot properly warn buyers that the thing they are buying is not what they likely expect it to be.
