Troll Posting Flame Reviews, MU Staff Are Doing NOTHING

A troll who uses these multiple accounts: AzureNix, Myraidofhate, and Supreme Equinox Astrisk (plus an inactive Equinox Supreme Terozex account), have been posting these disgustingly awful "reviews" that are filled with vulgar swear words, misogynistic slurs ("whore", "slut", "bitch", "hoe", etc.) towards the female leads, calling the male leads "simps", repeated use of ableist insults ("retarded", "mentally disabled", "autistic", etc.), and the occasional death threats towards the work's author. They've even posted multiple flame reviews for the same work using their puppet accounts.

For over a year, I've been alerting this website's staff about that user, but they have chosen to ignore and dismiss me, and do nothing about the troll and let them continue spamming their awfulness on this website.

Here are some of their terrible reviews:

Ant there are hundreds more reviews that are like this.

I ask for the staff to please ban their accounts as they contribute nothing to this website other than their horrible reviews which breaks this site's guidelines on no foul language in written reviews. For now I will continue to report Myraidofhate until finally this website finally takes action, and if you could, please flag Myraiofhate/AzureNix/Equinox Supreme Terozex's reviews as their hate-filled content should not be allowed anymore on this website.

Glad to see someone else notice this, although disappointing to hear the mods have done nothing about it.

I have yet to see a single positive review from this person, they seem to hate every female MC to ever exist, most often calling them whores among other hateful and completely inaccurate terms, and I swear I've seen at least one that also disparaged a male MC in the same way, although they get away with just being called simps most of the time. If they're not trolling then maybe they should consider moving on from this genre/form of media since it clearly doesn't agree with them and just serves to make them rage.

Although I agree with you that it's most likely just a troll due to the multiple accounts. Weirdly enough they tend to self-censor their swears even though there are no actual filters to prevent these words from being said on the site.

Edit: Ok I did check the rules and there is a clause against "offensive language" but it's not very clear what constitutes that. I'd say swears in general shouldn't be censored, but slurs, insults, and obviously death threats should absolutely be removed. In any case these are very disingenuous troll reviews that should be looked into not only due to language reasons.

I saw the topic and immediately thought about these accounts you listed - I also came through these "reviews" and thought it's weird that they are being accepted. I reported few of them, but saw no actions :(

Thank you for your feedback. We will review the comments. It's possible that the person is changing their comments after we review them. We will modify our algorithm to require re-review after edits are done.

Why are Myraidofhate's ableist reviews still up?:

And they're still uploading more of their gross comments:

Do this website's staff just do not care about all the disgusting "reviews" that's being spammed on this website for years? How long do I have to keep reporting this issue until the mods do something about this troll?

Hi zer0ne,

We are a very small team, and as a result we have to prioritize our efforts. I appreciate that you are reporting this to us, but we are working diligently on other aspects of improving the website, including improvement of the moderation tools.

We will address this issue as soon as we can.

Ha, as soon as I saw the title, I knew the EXACT person/accounts the title was talking about. It makes me wish I could not just block but actively hide reviews from individual users so I'd never have to see another one of their unhelpful, misogynistic, ableist, and frequently just downright factually incorrect reviews.

Like they'll just straight up lie about the FL cheating or sleeping around or kissing men aside from the ML even when that never happened?

Even if you don't have the good sense to ban them, I at least want to be able to Marie Kondo their toxicity out of my life by hiding their current and future hate-filled rants when I block them.

I also immediately knew the user this was going to be about. I can tell whether a review is theirs before checking the username. I just assumed they had an illness that prevented them from distinguishing between reality and their own broken perception. The reviews are always factually incorrect about the work and filled with hateful speech.

I reported this troll before. What makes it clear trolling in my opinion is that often he doesn't even mention the series he's "reviewing" he just makes some kind of incendiary comment and leaves. Very lame.

At the very least the review needs to be related to the series it's attached too. This isn't the YouTube comments section.

Also is hellfirethegatekeeper another account by the same person? That account has the same behavior of leaving rude comments unrelated to the series, e.g. this "review" of Goblin Slayer:

Those who say words like edgelord are missing the point. This is an action horror with slight DnD references. You read this to be thrilled, not bored to death by the usual black afro whamens from the ghetto which cannot decide whether she is empowered or a victim. Manga like this one are the reason why the manga industry is wiping the floor with ALL the American media. Manga DARES! Go cry "toxic masculinity" somewhere else, bigots!

Does this really qualify as a review? It's not like it's related to the content of the manga.

I don't want to be overly censorious but reviews should be reviews. It really annoys me seeing these non-reviews where people just write something obnoxious that has nothing to do with the manga.

The earlier comment by ‘somethingwicked’ reads like it was written by the same person. Not sure whether it’s one person with way too much time on their hands or two people with brains made homogenous from incel Youtube videos.

We're working on methods to more effectively moderate series comments and other sections of the website. It's a slow process. Please bear with us.
