me and many other gay itch devs friens have been annoyed by people making accounts for the sole purpose of spamming 1 star reviews on lgbt projects, going through every single submission for a person and giving a bad review (like i had PAID projects that werent even purchased but still got 1 star reviews loll)

so if youre a dev: especially when youve JUST released a project and only have none or a few ratings one unlegimate 1 star review can really tank the visibility and if you happen to see the same person doing the same rating on all your projects something is obviously off

ive reported clear cases like this couple times in the past and probs since ive had proof of this same person doing it for other people at the same time ive gotten them removed
its not something you should obsess about, like its fine if someone hates your game and gives it a bad review but when that same happens for every single lgbt project of yours and your friends lgbt projects from the same account at the exact same time clearly this isnt done in good faith and you can appeal that!

for the gamers: rating games you like on itch io is really valuable. its why every youtuber tells you to like and subscribe and hit the bell icon, because it really does boost their video to more people and same applies with itch io.

i know not everyone even knows about the rating system so when youre playing gay games on itch io i think everyone should get in the habit of liberally rating the games they liked to support the devs whose work you enjoyed

i say as somebody who has filed a half-dozen reports on ratings where I was called racial slurs and itch has never done anything about them in over two years

im sad to hear your experience doesnt match mine. but i have received slurs in my reviews and i have reported that to the itch devs and gotten it removed. but what motivated me to write this post was a person going out of their way to rate every single one of my project 1 star (and doing so on all my friends projects that were visibly on my profile pages collections) so they clearly werent done in good faith and i was able to explain it to the support staff in an email and they cleared them up.
i do understand that one off bad reviews would be harder to convince the staff to delete but mass spam is a different issue

None of my titles have been bombed yet, but a friend of mine on itch.io has had someone review bombing her stuff. Sucks. Nowadays if I enjoy a game on itch.io, I usually drop 5 stars just so that game can gets the visibility it deserves. :eggbug:

in reply to @nadianova's post:

you probably didn't mean to word it this way but i think it's kind of unjustifiable to say that calling somebody slurs in a bad review could be done in good faith? i'm glad you were able to get through to the devs but it seems kind of shitty to me to respond like this, when clearly they have a problem with handling targetted abuse in general.

yeah no my point was more about if its a single comment it might be harder for the admins to determine its not just the dev wanting to get rid of bad reviews. i mean i obviously think its bullshit and sucks nobody should be leaving slurs in anyones reviews and the ppl doing that should get banned.

i do wish they had better moderating tools available to stop people from harassing others and spamming etc but it is what it is and sadly this is still the best place to share lgbt indie projects as of this date

out of curiosity when you mean report do you mean the itchios inbuilt report system or are you sending an email to the staff?
