I borrowed a friend's iPhone today but only found one issue on the user profile. Anything else you can point out is appreciated.
Just went to start to find something else, the second I opened write review I noticed the close button wasn’t properly displayed because the title of the modal’s blocking it.
I understand where you’re coming from but I just don’t think the website is at a stage where you can rely on feedback to fix issues. I think you internally have to come up with a better QA process.
Also just compare the feeling of using something like ServerHunter to ServerVerify, often, speaking from experience, you cannot pinpoint a singular bug or misstep to explain something just not feeling that good, it’s all of the little things that makes or breaks the feeling of a website being enjoyable to use.
Can you send me a photo of that review pop-up issue? I can't replicate it
.
ugh, so far the 7$, seems like you pay with spam emails on dedi rock.
Hey @default def understand your viewpoint, and thank you for communicating that.
Okay, then never fix the Firefox issue.
I mean you have a developer, let him debug your website, I won't.
Maybe its the javascript, no idea.
This has now been fixed. Thanks for letting us know.
So is my understanding correct?
You have been ignoring people pointing it out... And there is no method for us to remove our stole reviews, get credit for our reviews, or even delete our data from this new website (not that 99% of users even know their data was stolen for it)...
Again, just so you can make some more ad revenue?
In confused why you wouldn't have just done all of this honestly and ethically. Your going to have complaints filed for fraudulent reviews and profiteering from those in no time. Your not just putting colo at risk, but let, leb, and now this new site. The FTCs just going to take all of these down in one giant swoop and rack up fines you can't afford.
I mean, good for you for a few extra dollars of ad rev. But I'll be one of the first to file a complaint if this is what is happening. For obvious reasons we shouldn't need to explain to you...
There are ethical ways to do this - connect the reviews we posted publicly to our accounts. Or an "AI summary" based on LES/LET. But you intentionally are lying for some reason on the reviews.
I hear ya @neoon , also updated your ticket, well get to the bottom of that. thx
If you know a lawyer who is willing to open a case for all of us (including people outside US), I wish to participate too. I guess many others will do too, but there is a need for a lawyer in US to open a case and gather signatures and documentation.
☝️ this!
But the FTC part is kinda bs
Not to mention the legitimate providers whose profiles are filled with fake AI reviews, some of which I trust did not opt in or do this themself. When I see this, it makes me think negatively of these providers, and do not wish to do business with them. But in reality, it's not their fault ( I assume ), and instead they're just victim of having their image tarnished by this platform.
Quite a few providers on there with many glowing reviews that never originated from LET, LEB and the phrases used in the review are not indexed, so the chances of them coming from other non LE* properties is slim. Anyone with more than two braincells to rub together read them and see they're fake, which in turn damages the image of the brand that these were applied to.
I asked before and never got a clear answer on what the administrative challenge was to simply remove any review that wasn't sourced from LET/LEB or user submitted. The random glowing review with marketing buzzwords and fluff from "Ronaldo_Robertson" or "Paula_Tamiko" or whatever, even if glowing and 5 star reviews, hurts the images of the brands they're associated with. And of course, the fake non-five star reviews do too, especially when you consider the website is owned by a competitor in the industry.
Seriously, how hard would it of been to do a "launch party" and get a handful of providers on board to sponsor prizes for having your name entered into a pool for winning some cool prizes, simply for submitting some reviews or benchmarks.
It had potential to be a valuable website. But it's just plagued by fake reviews and inaccurate data. This of course compromises the quality and integrity of its content and prevents users from making informed decisions, leaving the website essentially useless for anyone looking for trustworthy guidance.
I am currently out of town as we had a family wedding to attend this weekend so I'm just catching up now.
This was already covered earlier in this thread, but at 20 pages it's easy to miss so I'll quickly reiterate here:
ServerVerify was originally intended, as launched, to be an aggregation platform. Pulling data together from all over to one central interface. It was collecting data from LowEndBox, LowEndTalk and any and all sites linked within the platforms. This generated a huge amount of data, some of which was low quality data. In many of those review cases that data was then anonymized with the help of Ai. To put it in numbers terms, the site launched with 71k reviews published.
About a week into the launch here on LowEndTalk we pivoted and decided, based in large part on user feedback and our own consideration on the topic, that the site would be better off limiting its data sources and sticking to higher quality data. So we started reviewing all the data sources and removing most reviews. At the same time we began a manual review of all data on the platform, including provider details, benchmark assignments, review assignments, reviews themselves, and continued to add reviews from LowEndTalk. As of right now ServerVerify has 4200 reviews, and is collecting dozens of directly submitted reviews daily (which is awesome).
Once our final data review, which is about 90 percent finished when it comes to reviews is completed, there will probably be, I'd estimate, around 2500 reviews in the system. By the middle of this week I should be finished with the process.
By the time the review is finished you'll be able to click the source button on a review and see where it came from. You can already see the source on most reviews today.
How were the reviews anonymized? Just changing the name of the poster, or changing all the words?
Because many of the words, in the order they appear on ServerVerify, are not indexed anywhere else on LowEndTalk or LowEndBox, or any other site indexed by Google, for that matter.
If someone said, "This is a good provider", does that get "anonymized" into, "Wow, what a great provider! Their support is available 24/7 by phone, email or live chat. Their native IPv6 makes my website blazing fast on mobile phones! The included easy to use control panel makes managing my Wordpress site a breeze. I highly recommend [provider name]!"
Just so you're aware, reviews from LowEndTalk:
This is a step in the right direction.
Still, if you'd just linked to the original review in the first place, the whole AI "anonymization" wouldn't have been needed and you likely would've gotten better feedback from the start.
Yeah that probably would have been the better approach. Always learning.
LET denizens making me snort coffee every day.
I don't think I've seen a single response to this point @MannDude has mentioned several times.
Interesting.
might I suggest a great brand.

I wait for the balls spinning to stop
GO AWAY SATAN
I can give it a shot.
What's your favourite letter?
I dunno that is a tough one.
The extra character bug on the user profile has been resolved.
This should be fixed now, thanks for bringing it to our attention.
I spent some more time on the Reviews data audit tonight. Currently sitting at 2425 reviews. About 95% finished cleaning the data.
Also finished the benchmarks audit.
Getting pretty close to the end now.
