Ok I'm not one for *****ing, but something's been pissing me off about certain guides in the community. No better place to rant about it than here.
It's about fake accounts. I like to browse the new guides whenever I get on MobaFire, and I do this because about 90% of the content put out is either garbage, walls of text, or misguided people putting up things they don't know about. I like to help these people and most of the time what I do is pretty helpful. Hell, this guide used to be a huge wall of text with wierd builds:
Dat Kog'Maw Guide
Not exactly the one I was planning on showing, but I can't find the one that had like 7 "Very good" comments on it;
I mean it's not their fault most of the time. My
Jax guide was literally just like it when it first came out. But the thing that ticks me off is seeing people use fake accounts to upvote a trash guide. I mean MobaFire has IP tracking, but people manipulate this by using friends or a different IP. It's just annoying to see undeserving guide go higher than decent content that was put out.
I mean sometimes it's the little things.
Tell me if this guide deserves to be higher than even my roaming guide:
This
Not exactly the one I was planning on sho
Sad thing is I've seen worse go higher. I put alot of work into my stuff, and it's hard to see worse things go higher in the ranks. I don't know if it's just me, but it kind of discourages me to put hours into writing guides to be shadowed by guides that took 10 minutes to write and publish.

I had 1 friend of mine upvote my guide. Pretty much all the guides I see out now with a decent rating have at LEAST 4-5 upvotes from people with 0 posts on the first few pages ;c
Its fine if your friends upvote your stuff, especially in the beginning. You get a bit of a bonus in upvotes. But then you have to gain your votes. And with some of the guides I see now, not many people actually gain their votes :c
If you are positive that someone is IP hacking, use the report tool. That's what it's there for. It is the fastest and most efficient way to get the mods/admins to do something about a troublesome user. They're generally pretty quick about it too (I've had reports resolved within minutes).
I don't see any evidence of IP hacking in the guides you listed though.
Also, the second guide you linked has two votes. Total. Maybe you should focus on your own guide instead of getting mad at everyone else's scores.
