Why are Authors and Translators allowed to artificially boosting their ratings?
I actually deleted a 5 star review because it was just a bunch of 'asdf' over and over. Feel free to read mine and abuse it. I need the help to get better as my first volume was a bit rough.

Recently, I began receiving a not really proper review of 4 stars but only emos and one is not really a review (I guess, as only talking my old cover)... Now I began thinking to pin my own review to warn anyone that whoever just making a review of symbols and emos, even 5-star reviews I will delete them.
I think I'll do that in the future. Just needed proper review even if only a few of them would leave one, at least something that everyone would read them and not rolling eyes about those flooded emos and symbols reviews because they need those ss...
They should make it so only reviews that have been reported as spam can be deleted by the author. If an author is getting buried by spammers, they can ask the community to help them report the spam (while getting publicity for themselves).
If we're worried about legitimate reviews being deleted with the author's alt accounts, then make the number of reports required tied to the number of chapters read and the level of the reviewing account. And if the number of reports exceeds an egregious threshold, the review should be hidden until a moderator can review it (for bad 5 star reviews).
