HunchBluntley: Better solution: People who refuse to just use the filter that will only show reviews from verified owners (a filter which has existed for
years now) and keep insisting on this horseshit "solution" shouldn't be able to post in the forums anymore. : )
Keihltrein: I'll give you that if it wasn't the review score that is displayed in the product at the very top.
And i don't think is up to you to decide who can post in the forums, so you can keep your opinion about that to yourself, thank you.
The difference is that my "solution" was facetious. I don't believe yours (that I initially replied to) was. (Also,
any or all of us, including you,
could keep our opinions to ourselves. But that would render comment/discussion threads like this one rather pointless, eh?)
And that's a very weak argument for restricting review privileges, given that the average score that only includes the "verified" reviews is fairly easy to spot at the top of the reviews section, always appearing no matter what filters are selected. To be blunt, anyone rash and foolish enough to buy (or not buy) a game based solely upon what's immediately visible at the top of the store page deserves what they get (or don't get).
But this entire stupid back-and-forth on this and similar topics (including pay-gating forum posting privileges -- which, for the record, I am also against) has played out dozens of times by now, in various forms, and obviously the "nobody must post reviews who I specifically don't think should be able to" mob are not willing to be persuaded to just use the tools that GOG already provides.
(Sorry in advance if this winds up double-posting -- the forum ate my reply the first time around due to the good ol' "first post on a new page" [of 20 posts] bug.)
