Bravo Abuse

ShawnC13 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 05:36:01 GMT

I am not sure if it really is an issue but just something that caught my eye. I guess with a financial reward involved people will do what they can to get it. In the attached picture this person has give 30 bravos's to someone who has made 32 posts and has received 83 bravo's back from that same person and look at the other quantities from other members given and received. Wait I just checked back it is 31 and 90 comeon guys stop with the garbage I don't want to have to call you out on it

Not cool! At least send it to the mods, let them hash it out.

With so many members it was just a matter of time until this would happen.

I truly hope the people responsible for the community rewards will NOT ONLY look at the amount of bravos received.

For example a certain member who made it to the top bravoed just because he/she sold sim cards.

Also, I'm going to bet that PM is a lot smarter than most people who think this is an issue, and will determine rewards based on helpful solutions and not bravos..

This has happened before and let me warn you all that this will be taken down easily. So don't waste your time logging in multiple times and give bravos to each of your accounts.

Anyone can see and easily noticeable, so just don't lol

@ShawnC13,

Does it ever hurt your eyes to look at the world through lenses that paint things evil?

Oh really? Then you must love the replies of this particular over-bravoed member.

Ute thanks for that aswell after I posted it he started bravoing all my posts

I am not going to assume that this member was referred by the member I showed in my above posts and two of the conditions by selling the sim to him:

- be my referral

- bravo my posts

Or should I?

ShawnC13 — Fri, 18 Nov 2016 23:11:50 GMT

@ute1978 look at this 147 bravos from 3 people with 6 posts and only one other bravo given. Think it is just multiple accounts lol. So for the top 4 he has 237 out of his 353 Bravo's from 4 people that have only been here two weeks

Then please take a pill.

I save $50 every month just because I switched from my previous carrier to PM. And to tell you the truth, I am not upset if I don't get any community rewards. I would rather donate my rewards to people who deserve it more, to people who spend way more time in this community helping out other members....

What makes me furious is the fact that because of people like you who abuse a system, a system will be taken down. This can lead to no community rewards any more. That is my biggest fear.

The thing is that when people come in here and see a list of top author Bravo'd I would take it as them having valueable comments and helping people. In fact it was one of those people I first pm'd with a question because I felt I could trust their response. To have people falsely inflate it isn't just about the rewards it is also about a trusted opinion and many of the members here have spent a long time creating that trusted reputation and to have someone come in and in 3 weeks try and de-value it and abuse it to such a point is really disappointing.
