Trolls across sites · 12:24am Jun 26th, 2023
Hey guys, Crimson here.
A few minutes ago, I logged into this other fanfiction website called Fanfiction.com where I also post my pony stories and other fanfics I write to there. Normally when I see a bad review, I don't think much of it cause something they say sometimes fuels me to keep on writing and to me it just amuses me.
this guest review isn't amusing, it's down right extortion, harassment and bullying.
I honestly wanted to like this story, but this is just bad. It's akin to sniffing a moldy egg casserole from the back of my fridge: a stupid waste of time for something rotten that belongs in the trash.
Now, I hope I have your attention and that you can improve your writing, but that's not why I'm here. I'm sending this message on behalf of my friend, Tanya, who lives in Florida and is an assistant site administrator.
Here is her profile:
www dot fanfiction dot net/u/2873027/Review her stories. You don't have to read them, just give them good reviews. They don't have to be long, just some quick praise will suffice. She's trying to win a contest, and for that she needs a large amount of good reviews.
If you fail to comply by not responding or worse yet, attempt to leave a negative review, I will report your account to both The Critics United as well as the other site administrators for deletion. Do not think of blocking or reporting us. I will find out and there will be consequences if you do something stupid to her.
If you troll my friend, be warned we will troll you, your fics and all of your followers. We will also place your s*** fic in our other friend's community, S*** Fics That Deserve a Good Flame, so that everyone here will make fun of you. Since we don't want it to come to that, just write a short, good review for her stories and we'll leave you alone.
I do know this is person or whoever is forcing others to write good reviews or threatened. I already reported this person but to those who have also received similar posts, DO NOT GIVE IN. That's just my thing, I will not be bullied or threatened my account to commandeer this person's agenda. Fuck that shit. I don't care about bad reviews as I already stated. Can't please everyone and that's okay, you don't have to like it.
Your bad reviews is just my fuel to keep writing just to spite you <3
That's extremely gross to just crap over someone's story with little to no actual constructive criticism and then shill someone else's story in the same comment.
Wow..that's horrid..
So, this person is like :

So they admit they have a smelly ass. Weird flex lol
Wow! That review is vile, disrespectful, and just down right abhorrent! This is an example of victimization, when a person or people are exploited.
I don't know anything about Fanfiction.com, but is there a way for you to delete comments like that (or to report it)?

Sadly, this person sent it anomalously, I can't take it down if a guest commenter (I guess those who read the site stories and not have their own accounts) can post things and I can't take it down. I did report it earlier, haven't heard anything back from them.
5734972 That's unfortunate... And kind of dumb. Stuff like this really rubs me wrong.
Bleh. I've heard of Critics United. They're a group of "critics" who essentially abuse FF.net's lack of moderation to mass report any story they don't like, causing it to automatically get taken down.
They threatened a buddy of mine too.

Just saying if that happens, my stepdad has a way of hacking things online. If those guys do that, he's on their asses
This would be the first time I would ask him to do that though
I feel ya. Everyone gets that one vile reviewer who feels the need to try and ruin your day. Don't let it get to you; to me, good reviews matter far more than bad ones. Your account can't be terminated if you aren't violating any TOS (btw, the FF.net admins are terrible at moderating anything, and seldom respond to reports). If this s***head thinks they can write a better story, I'd like to see them do it.
Speaking of which, this particular user seems more focused on quantity-over-quality, which, as we all know, doesn't make one a prodigy writer. A hundred half-baked loaves does not make one whole-baked loaf. Still, it's unclear if the user is actually involved with the troll or not.
Here's the link to the FF support page, with instructions on reporting abuse: https://www.fanfiction.net/support/
Hopefully, if enough people report that anonymous user, the admins will trace the IP address and block them.
