Seperate reviews to filter out "jokes"

[MoJean]

If we can have two different tabs for reviews. One where most of the 10/10 jokes and useless one-lines go and another tab for serious reviews where you can look for opinion on wether or not to buy the game.
Right now most top reviews are useless and simply jokes. It would be great to get actual reviews back.

With 2 seperate tabs everyone can be happy.

Hang in there, user to user help.

"The Federal Trade Commission will hold an informal hearing on its proposed rule banning fake reviews and testimonials at 10 a.m. ET on February 13, 2024"

I suggest that the FTC start to hold companies like Valve accountable for fake, spam, meme, user reviews removals or be fined. There's nothing "Funny" or "Helpful" about turning a online stores product review system into fraud, misleading and deceptive product user reviews, for users gaming the system as a Steam points award farm.

Until Valve is forced to deal with it like any other normal online storefront. We have to put up with it.

ya I'm pretty sure that I'll be reported again for sharing pertinent consumer information on public federal regulator hearings, because it's for some reason in the wrong area " not related to the hub/thread that it was posted in" and is content that is not allowed.

The FTC hearing has nothing to do with "joke" reviews as OP mentions. It has to do with companies that hire people to place hundreds of fake reviews on their products in order to artificially boost their products score or visibility to increase sales.

There is absolutely no reason for Valve to be allowing all the ASCII ART and meme txt garbage.
But I can talk specifically about those 100's - 1000's of DOTA2 and CS2 bot accounts in certain reported groups being created and spamming positive user reviews every couple of weeks if you like? Already given those un removed reviews urls to the FTC in a complaint for fraud, would you like them to?

Not necessary. Only a tiny minority of extremely vocal users have any problem with the review system. The vast, overwhelming majority of Steam users have nothing bad to say about it.

On the opposite end, I'd love to see review bombing be considered fair practice and it become unmoderated as a whole.

Okay. I'm pretty sure that the FTC isn't going to be laughing at all Steam's JOKE reveiws.

Then that mean all CS2 and DOTA2 bot farms are fair game to spam review bombs too if they own the games to review. Have at it. Lets see what federal regulators say or do, in fines.

OP, do you expect users to categorise their own reviews as joke? Or do you expect Valve to check every individual review to put it in the correct category? I can tell you already that neither will happen.

They don't allow it, they're just really slow on processing the reports. I've seen such reviews get taken down, just takes a while.

Takes way too long then. On OP's suggesting, I'd like to see, date filters, for user reviews.
But this telling on Valve, easily seeing those 100's of bots spams in say CS2 as its been happening.

but no more telling than seeing "JOKE a.k.a SPAM" in the Steam Community Home page for TOP or MOST RECENT reviews.

"SPAM when its in a discussion "but just a JOKE when in a "consumer review" as SPAM or FAKE and legitimately having nothing to do with a product.

Wow, i just found… this… under a second game and came here to check if this is known. Can’t something be done about the garbage poster, maybe if someone else reports the profile?

Huge +1 for the suggestion. Unfortunately few care and many will keep upvoting nonsense ‘review’ crap that just says the game is good or bad if they agree with it. Everyone is forced to live in the world occupied by the mass of fools who just won’t let keep it tidy.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
