Bitcoin Forum

I understand that forum does not even moderate scams but think about a service like this... Someone is asking for negative reviews for his competition (may be). Obviously false reviews and paying in Bitcoin. Think about people who heard a little about bitcoin and will learn that those reviews were possible because the payment was in bitcoin (I understand that payment form could be anything else)... They will have this negative idea that bitcoin basically encourage shady activities etc etc.

Whatever we all are doing here... we have a common goal which is to spread bitcoin in a good way. We should protract the name of bitcoin.

Anyway here is a topic...

Please read some of the replies too on that topic.

My question is... should we encourage them?

I'd much rather not getting into details due to legal liability but I can guarantee I'm not their competition I am just a very angry and financially hurt ex teenant trying to save other of having to go through what I went

People paying for good reviews is so commonplace that I can't see why doing the opposite, and that too for a non-BTC related business would be worthy of a neg

Maybe we should all give bad review for free ? So then we see how this is going to pan out?  :)

Again you are asking to trust you. My point is how and why I would? May be you can share your story with some evidences, may be you can leave your own honest review instead of paying others for fake review. When you pay for a review - you are encouraging fake. Plain and simply in my dairy.


Good or bad - it does not matter. I think a review should be honest, from a person's own experience. When it comes to pay money for that then it WILL be misleading and most of the times it will hurt others (an innocent one in this case).

Very interesting! As far as I know people has been buying positive feedback although this isn't right way. But first time I have seen this case. I am really not encourage buy/sale of review for any site or apps. Since scam isn't moderated this case are similar. It should be handle by trust system. Because people have left fals negetive feedback. They deserve also right feedback (tag).

Of course "not" (it's unethical).

A single detailed honest review is worth more than a hundreds of fake reviews (there are other "legal" ways of dealing with such cases, [e.g. File a formal complaint] instead of seeking revenge).

Just because people do this doesn't make it alright. Leaving untrue feedbacks (both positive and negative) can hurt both the business and customers. People buy merit and accounts here, but that doesn't mean it isn't shady and people are rightly left negative feedback for this. How is this any different? If somebody offered payment to either positive or negative trust them or someone else here we all know what would happen. This is fraud and you're paying people to lie and those who accept money for this are complete sell outs and can't be trusted because they will clearly lie or do things immoral just for payment.

Good to see that the case was taken cared by Hilari. Anyone with a healthy philosophy will see wrong when it comes to fake feedback.

Indeed.

Anyway, I am locking the topic since the purpose was served (Not sure If I wanted them to get red tag, I was expecting them to have a warning like a neutral tag may be).
