[phoenix-epic-dev] FW: bogus rankings on EPIC

["Ian Skerrett" <ian.skerrett@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

 

Mik Kersten sent me an e-mail complaining about some of the rankings that have been made on EPIC.  I think we need to decide how we want to respond to Mik’s concerns.

 

Btw, Mik agreed for me to post his original e-mail on the mailing list.  Please copy him on any replies, since he has not subscribed to this list.

 

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

 

Could you give me the email address of someone responsible for EPIC?  I have submitted 3 email/web complaints of bogus rankings trying to bring up Instantiations products and bump others near them on the top-10 down.  I still have received no response and the bogus ranking is continuing, e.g.:

 

http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Web_Links&file=index&req=ShowRaterDetails&userid=&hostname=68.178.73.218

 

If these kinds of problems with anonymous rakings are not addressed pro-actively by EPIC abuse like this is likely to continue, and someone could blog about this and make EPIC look untrustworthy. 

 

Mik
