mocpages, reviews, and voting

Post by JoshWedin »

Hey All,

Quick question. Anyone know why voting and reviewing are disabled on Mocpages? It has been that way for a while now.

Thanks,
Josh

I assume it's because of the people who abused it:

People discovered a way to rate any MOC and rating, including impossible ones. (Below 1 and above 5)

Also, there were a lot of bogus reviews and stuff. They cirumvented many of them by making it so reviews that were under 3/5 got screened.

My best guess is that they're changing the system of voting on MOC's so it can't be used improperly.

There was a huge discussion on this last month on Lugnet:

I didn't reallize that Sean had disabled the reviews. Perhaps he is reworking things in response to some of the posts in that thread.
