Doomkid Posted January 14, 2016 So I went on over to /idgames to download some WADs.. and noticed I wasn't able to leave feedback. Then I realized it was because I wasn't signed in. I'm certain this wasn't true a few months or so back, what prompted the change? (Sorry if this was asked elsewhere, I couldn't see though.) 0 Share this post Link to post
AuraofApathy Posted January 14, 2016 I just tested it to see if you weren't kidding. It's gone, I don't even remember when it left. 0 Share this post Link to post
Obsidian Posted January 14, 2016 I believe it was changed after repeated spamming attempts. If you wanna blame someone, blame Carlos. 0 Share this post Link to post

scifista42 Posted January 14, 2016 I dislike the change. Spamming may always be a bad thing, but just posting an anonymous comment isn't. Forcing every possible commenter to share email address to create DW account, and then each of his comments being associatable with said account for everybody (and the email too, unless the person takes specific precautions in his DW forum settings, but I see the problem even if the email wasn't reachable), doesn't sound liberal. Now all innocent people are forced into things they might not prefer. 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted January 14, 2016 By "people" I meant reviewers who have something non-trollish to say to the point. 0 Share this post Link to post
gaspe Posted January 14, 2016 I agree with scifista42. But I'm wondering if this thing could be related to the overhaul of the database that Linguica wants to do. 0 Share this post Link to post

Doom_Dude Posted January 14, 2016 Too bad it can't reveal names to all the previous anonymous posts. :p 0 Share this post Link to post
Jaxxoon R Posted January 14, 2016 Does this mean whoever it is can stop deleting reviews? Actually, no it doesn't. I've seen a lot of registered users' reviews disappear. Like Doomkid's, for example. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted January 14, 2016 I've noticed that too, I assumed it was a bug or something as I never leave spam reviews. Sometimes a bit silly, but never spam. I'd hope they weren't manually removed, I can't see any reason why.. 0 Share this post Link to post
LittleInferno Posted January 15, 2016 Step 1. Have Mr. Headboner dump his stomach contents on his computer Step 2. You now have a Terry WAD. Step 3. Throw it up and have it land on the idgames host. Step 4. Spam the wad with crappy reviews. Oh wwwwwwwait!!! Reviews. I don't know. 0 Share this post Link to post
