Desperate times really do call for desperate measures
I asked Google AI what happens for inflated reviews or attempts to buy reviews. There are a whole host of penalties there. Removal from the platform, as well as sanctions and fines from government regulators. I'll get to it tomorrow. I suggest everyone join in. We didn't start this war!
_Yes, Trustpilot guidelines strictly prohibit writing or offering reviews in exchange for rewards. Incentivized reviews are banned entirely. Businesses cannot offer money, discounts, promo codes, free gifts, loyalty points, or entry into a raffle/sweepstakes in exchange for a customer posting or changing a review.
If a provider violates the Trustpilot Guidelines for Businesses, they face a cascade of severe penalties:

No, that's allowed as long as he doesn't provide an incentive for writing a good review. If he still gives you €2 even if you rate him 1 star, then he's not breaking any rules.
I stand corrected.
On OGF, he actually sent a cease-and-desist to C1V Hosting because they offered to price match anyone who was kicked out of Dasabo.
I beg to differ, Google AI provides evidence
_Yes, this email grossly violates the Trustpilot Guidelines for Businesses in several ways.
In this message, Dasabo is openly using prohibited methods to manipulate its rating. Here are the specific violations:
1. Direct Bribery (Incentivized Reviews)
2. Requesting Proof and Forcing De-anonymization
3. Biased Language (Selective Filtering/Cherry-picking)
What happens if you report this email?
If you forward this text or a screenshot of this email to the Trustpilot Content Integrity Team, severe actions will be taken against Dasabo:

Not reading all that slop but you could have just posted a link to the guidelines (or called me an idiot and pointed me to the previous link the slopbot posted, which would have been equally valid). I had misremembered.
Anyway, take screenshots of Dasabo's offer as evidence.
Yes, of course, I'm posting links to these rules. I'd like to point out, unfortunately, that some of these rules state that they are "advisory in nature." I apologize if the links aren't formatted very well, I'm writing from a mobile phone.

I suppose you should post a negative review, sue him for your $2, and then forward the email to Trust Pilot.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So evil
Would I be allowed to offer any actual disappointed customer $2 in cryptocurrency if they write a review right now?
I hate KYC so much I'm not even joking.
I personally didn't write any reviews, so I don't need a €2 refund. I purchased a VPS for a three-year period, and at the time of purchase, there was no KYC requirement. The KYC demand was introduced during my second year of use, affecting me and other users. Dasabo should have honored the original three-year contract before enforcing KYC for future renewals. That is why Dasabo's actions are unfair
You should write a review then.
Exactly. This is not just a review, but a formal complaint against Dasabo on the Trustpilot platform—it's the only real recourse we have in response to their actions. It's simple: every action has a reaction. Submitting a notice about them violating the platform's rules is different from a standard review, as it ensures they will be flagged for the violation. I suggest everyone who received this email about paying for reviews file a personal complaint and include a screenshot of the email
I already left a review on Trustpilot about a week ago..
Anyway, could you DM me a screenshot of the Dasabo message where they offer €2 in exchange for a review?
Do they not know, you cannot offer incentives for reviews
It's 2.7 for today. Too much for them. We can do better, guys:

I have received a few invitation like this from different providers, so it is pretty wide practice.
Once Trustpilot find out they now put a note on your profile to say what they found to basically say any reviews may have been bought in one way or another.
I know it used to happen a lot but now they take a hard stance and make it a clear hard rule more than they did a few years back
Hi,
... simply make an honst review and mention that you got 2 EUR promised by the provider for it.... or will this bring you into issues with your account on trustpilot ( no idea how this works, never cared about it )
Wouldn't surprise me at all if Trustpilot bans you for that. They ban legit users too, I was banned for "we were able to link it to networks that buy and sell fake reviews" when my reviews were all legit, I even offered to KYC and then they started ghosting me lol.
Hi,
well... ouch... afterall thats all quiet sad and annoying. I also heard that negative google reviews just vanish.
I assume that if the company is just pushing enough against a review, the platform will just remove it to avoid legal issues as i assume in worst case the platform would have to proof at court that this review is legit and true....
It is fine, trustpilot is not very trustworthy anyway but I would leave an honest feedback if my relationship with a particular provider is good. Btw, need to leave a feedback for xhosts
Dasabo responded to my feedback, nothing new 'we introduced KYC in accordance with TOS' bla bla thing.
@Dasabo is now responding to every TrustPilot review.
This isn't a regular review, it's a formal complaint against Dasabo. They are two completely different things. Besides, if they ban your account, you can always raise hell on Reddit.
Have you raised it already?
You think they care about their bad reviews? They still got your money.
I hope it would be a nice review
You dont need to mention the $5000 of only fans credits though
I have contacted Trustpilot support about this 👍
shhhh not in public
