Fake reviews on AnkiWeb

Before I start, @dae is it fine to rate a deck that I personally don’t use? There is a server where most people have such an opinion so I just wanted to confirm.

Now, I recently came across one deck on AnkiWeb that got a lot of ratings in a very short period of time. When I was looking through the reviews one of them ended with —xelieu. I know this person called xelieu and no way he actually uses this deck. He’s a quite experienced Japanese learner and the deck I’m talking about is for Japanese beginners. He actually personally knew the person who created this deck. I read through some other reviews and many of them sound like experienced learners. I bought this topic up in the discord server from where this deck originates and the server owner re-assures me all of this is fine as they are trying to bring a revolution.

I don’t know if I’m suffering from 被害妄想 (persecution complex) as the server owner says but I just thought I’d bring it up here.

When I went back to the deck some more reviews were there with the person’s name being written, ofc people who would never use this deck. One of them was a sarcastic

I wish this was my first deck

  1. I think rating decks shouldn’t be allowed unless you downloaded a deck while logged in. Otherwise it gives unfair advantages to some decks over others.

  2. There should be a report button for both decks and non-sensical reviews like the one I quoted above.
