If you want to be a participating member, and contribute something to the site, great, but posting partial reviews to tease people to visit your web-site is bullshit.
My "objective" is to meet new folk that smoke cigars. The fact that I run a blog of my own instead of doing all the work for a site that has "user blogs" is my personal preference. As I was once told "If you do something well, never do it for free". I'll gladly post the entire review if that is what is outlined in your forum rules. I just couldn't find them when I looked up posting guidelines yesterday.

When it comes to new members, why not take the high road instead of accusatory statements, and calling the actions of other "bullshit". A little diplomacy and discretion goes along way these days, as does a PM to the person you are having an issue with.

In other words, act like an adult and a gentleman.
