Hello, someone hiding behind CloudFlare Inc. is considered hiding real IP isn't it? Let's be honest, what do you have to hide?
I will create another account and post it again, then again, and again.
Everyone can say this, why do you think something you can do and others can't do? This include those that believe their voice should be heard in reviews, not just your voice. You are being ignorant and selfish if you believe only your voice need to be heard and no one else.
Let say this is your "review", I delete this and you will post it again and again. Does this mean I do nothing? Let say this is your 10th post already, I deleted your post 9 times and you post a 10th times. So you expect me to delete things and I did and you come back again. This could be the answer to your post. You just shown us what you mean by toxic?
So, first, you have to answer yourself, how should I stop you from reposting your post once it gets deleted without causing problem to our services and other users. -- Point A
No, this does not mean we let anyone post anything. But all I have to do is answer your question. I do not have to care if you like my answer or not, it is still an answer. You can take it or leave it. I let the reader decide on their own which side they want to believe.
This is the same as in the review system or in any forum rant posts, there is always two sides to the story. What's so bad about making a reply to counter the review if the owner believe there is an misunderstanding. In negative reviews, there is a reply function and we always recommend server owner to reply to share their side of the story then let the reader decide. In many cases, we normalize the review score to "let the voice be heard" but the score must be reflecting the review content. Otherwise, go back to answer Point A.
RMS is not the server police, we do not go into each server to verify which side is right or wrong. Everyone's experience can be different and looking for different things in servers, there is no guarantee one player have a positive experience mean the next one will share the same experience.
My suggestion for you, yC? You either disable the Review System or start taking it more seriously
In all seriousness, the goal of the review system and this forum is to let everyone to voice their experience / review / opinion. You are a big contradiction to the point of bipolar since the start of the post. Your post is like "DO NOT DELETE ME" but "GO DELETE THE OTHERS". Like I always say, it is just "word vs word" what make your word weight more than those review you claim that are fake?
So you don't want to see something? Maybe it is easier for you to not see it by walking away. No, the review system is not going away.
I mean, if you take a look at a review with a really low score, with hateful content, among other good, legit reviews, and these bad reviews are usually written by someone who created an account on the SAME DAY, it's CLEAR that the purpose of that person is to damage the server's ranking.
I mean, if you take a look at a review with <any> score, many are written by someone who created an account on the SAME DAY. It is not limited to cases with negative review. You only say this to make it sound like you found this a trend without looking at the big picture. We have daily new account creation to write new reviews, this is how the system been like for years. People create an account to write review, people do not (normally) create an account and write a review a year later.
The only thing yC really cares about is the money coming in from ads, let's be honest. yC doesn't want to get involved because they don't want to have to deal with the backlash they know will happen afterwards.
Do you realize how bad you contradicted yourself there? Just answer these simple questions:
Who pay to advertise? Server owner.
Who do not want negative review? Server owner.
If all I care is the money, you wouldn't ever see a single negative review or negative post of servers in the whole RMS.
If I am the one in the greedy picture you are trying to paint me into, why wouldn't someone just pay to have these "false" negative review removed?
The fact that you see these "truth" reviews/posts since the start of RMS shows that we are clean. We do not take bribe and we might be the only neutral ground for players and servers to share/resolve their problems.
To stay as neutral ground means we do not try to get involved and making a judgement without verifying the fact.
RMS is a free system for player to share their experience. What do we gain from RO players? Nothing but loyalty.
I should also use this opportunity (since today is Sunday) to clear some false information posted around the internet that have been trying to attack us for unknown reason lately:
(You know that long as f post about a closed server.)
1. Part of it claims server owner can see reviewer IP, maybe that's why we have been seeing a lot of people hiding their IP lately? That's completely false, anyone can go try to create a server owner account and verify that this is false. Nobody can see reviewer IP except me. Who would be so stupid to create a system where reviewer could risk getting banned by server for voicing their opinion.
We respect our user's privacy and would never disclose identifiable user information without proper legal authority request. We understand the risk of server could go after player or trying to "get back at them". It is also a violation of our terms if players are found to be banned for making a negative review.
2. We never seen that long post in our forum, don't know how it claim they been trying to post it here for 20 years lol. But then with the above false information about RMS I would definitely ask them to correct it first. So that lead to another false information where it claim we get paid to delete the post, already explained that we do not take bribe ever.
If he want to make the post, come and do it, remove the false information about RMS first, then let see how the related server (now closed) bother to response. (Do not try to hide IP nor email, we will delete it for being a spam bot).
Many of you think we delete posts/topics and siding with server owners. Then now here we have this new post about how we are not doing enough to protect server owners. I will repeat this, we are a neutral ground, we take no sides. That lead to word vs word and so be it.
If you believe we deleted some legit topics that are trying to reveal things lately, maybe you can find them in the
junk yard. Many of which are hiding their IP / email etc, so why should we trust them? They will get the same status as a spam bot.
