Thinking Literally

[Spirit]

I know this is kind of literal, but Rule #8 of the Review Guidelines states:

If your reviews contain one or more of the following, they will be deleted:
# Reviews with intent to increase or decrease the server's ranking.

So, does this mean that every review that scores a 10 or 100 should be deleted? I mean, of course no server is going to have a perfect economy or an absolutely balanced class-spread - nor will it have absolutely no availability, since you obviously have had to connect to this server to review it in the first place.

That will be judged based on the content + score given to each categories.

It doesn't have to be exactly 10 or 100.  That guideline goes hand in hand with the unreasonable score given guideline and the content didn't explain score guideline.  I mean if it's a unreasonable score (with respect to review content) and/or the content didn't reflect the score at least a little, it could be an intent to inc/dec server ranking.

Pretty much all reviews are there for is to Increase / Decrease the ranking. Why else would owners say go write a review for us! You want your server noticed? (Not really) Then you write a review to increase your servers RMS rank.

The system is horribly flawed. My friends used proxies to write multiple reviews for Legacy RO. The admin gave 1 donation box for each review. I remember they did about 30+ (Don't ask for proof, I'm just pointing out the flaws).

i would like to see what kind of perfect system you have in mind. 

imo nothing is perfect. 

this is the internet we are talking about, it was kind of sad the other day that some count ruled sending of count document to someone's facebook account is a valid form of transfer.  how one protect a real-life "identity" online become an issue i start to worry about.  i mean how can they be sure that one from facebook is the one in real life. 

okay my point is, with all data available still no one can be sure someone is "this one" behind the computer.  proxy is just one way of masking yourself as a different person, you can have dynamic ip etc.  so i would like to hear your solution to tackle this problem that not only we have but the world is having.

let see ... someone assumed i would have the mac address of everybody which was just an assumption.  I have thought of sms activation but of course not everyone has a cell phone so that will give a huge blow to the number of reviews we get.
