The official "Bad users/bad reviews"-report thread

***Damrod*** · 09-01-2005, 12:50 PM

Cleaning time in the Sputnik Site forum.

Same procedure as with the old one. If you spotted a bad review, or see a user making trouble (bad comments etc) post in here.

IMPORTANT: Provide a link to the review/user profile you're referring to!

New member. Hasn't read the rules. Bumping every Fall Out Boy review just to bash the band and the reviews.

Bumping old reviews to badmouth the albums.

*Dave de Sylvia* · 09-04-2005, 04:31 PM

This is ridiculous. My average rating has plunged from 1.0 to 0.89 in a week and I've never had a negative comment in any of my reviews.

Until then we just have to wait, basically. It's seriously pathetic though.

And you can bet on it I will do the same. It's buggin' me big time as well.

*Dave de Sylvia* · 09-04-2005, 05:25 PM

It's happened to quite a few people. There's quite a few in the Top 15 who have artifiically low average ratings.

Iai · 09-04-2005, 05:42 PM

Indeed. I feel like the only one who hasn't pissed anyone off.

*Dave de Sylvia* · 09-04-2005, 05:48 PM

Heh, I suppose I should expect the worst when I keep reviewing Motley Crue albums.

mx · 09-04-2005, 07:13 PM

i'll put that on my list of things to do next

Spam account. He's just flaming the Metallica review. I find it to be hilarious, because of sheer ignorance. You'll get a kick out of reading it. Perma-ban, please.

Neoteric · 09-05-2005, 10:46 AM

Don't ban him, he's funny

Had no time to post before I was gone to the movies. Unless Med made any different agreements with one of the Supers, he's gone for ten days. If he misbehaves again after that, he'll be gone for good.

We all know br3ad is the man, but is this legit?

It comes out on the 6th in the states but it may be the 6th in Australia by now or just have been released on the 5th there.

Jom · 09-05-2005, 08:21 PM

refl, pwned by timezones.

Right now, your time zone is -5 UTC, and you'd be -14 from Aussieland.

If it's out legit down there, that's fine with me.

***Damrod*** · 09-06-2005, 02:30 PM

Just a note, just in case you have not noticed: Mods now can ban from Sputnik and see who voted in what way on a review. So, if you have the suspicion someone is on a Vendetta against you by voting all or most of your reviews negative, let us know. We'll track the user down, if that's really the case

This is a just a re-post of one of his reviews that was already deleted for being crap.

***Damrod*** · 09-07-2005, 01:13 PM

Left a note he should add more detail. If he does not until tomorrow, it's gone.

Thanks for letting us know.

***Riva*** · 09-08-2005, 07:03 PM

I can't link to it, since I'm not sure if the link is embedded in the review, but there is a malicious link in Dream Evil's only review on sputnik, "The Book Of Heavy Metal".

EDIT: User is ExitWound, and the link is embedded, you don't need to actively click anything. It spams up your computer.
