  • Author(s) removing negative reviews.

I'm not a professional reviewer but if I don't like something I sometimes make my mind known and gives low rating with what I and many others that liked my review think was an accurate description of the story. I explained the reasons of giving low rating like plot holes, inconsistencies, bad usage of genders terms, personal opinions on bad plot twists instead of spamming words. And some people seems to agreed with my reviews. But so what? I just received notification that my review(s) had been removed by author(s).
It's like if the sellers in Amazon are allowed to give rating and reviews of their own product while removing all the bad reviews.

I agree that novels receiving low rating spams are victims and they somehow need a way to remove the spams, but it shouldn't be authors' authority to removed them. If the reason of giving Authors this authority is the lack of manpower can't they just create or use a function or program to automatically detect spams and remove them? It shouldn't be that hard as spams usually have the same wording or patterns. Even the spammers usually have similar usernames.

    Yep, that's how it goes pretty much. But don't expect much since after all, this site allows plagiarism, why would they pay more attention to spam than they already have? Their report system is fucking garbage and irrelevant almost. This site actually had good quality when it first launched now it's just tumors, spams, and paywalls.

    RekiChan Most Authors only check their reviews a couple times a week, so if you just save your review and post it in a different review thread for safe keeping you can just repost it the next day and it will probably be glossed over during the next sweep.
    I've had a few Authors get into a deleting war with me and if you just post it in the comments section on one of their Novel's chapters they can't abuse their powers to delete it from there.
    Happy Reviewing!
