Hey guys,

I wanted to start a conversation around guides that very obviously have botted upvotes and how I think its extremely damaging to the mobafire community. As a creator I really enjoy looking through others work and giving upvotes on content that has had a lot of hard work put into it. However I have been noticing quite frequently on the trending guides section there are guides with Ludacris amounts of upvotes while the guides they are part of are lackluster at best.

Personally as a guide creator this is a slap in the face for all the hard work I have been putting into my guides recently, and I imagine its the same for others who also put tons of time and effort into their guides. To see somebody essentially cheat their way into getting on the monitor of 100,000's of peoples computer screens to me is shameful and needs to be addressed.

Now I understand this is a fairly controversial subject but I'd like to hear everyones thoughts on this matter.

thanks everyone,

Hello @ Harambe Homie!

Please report any guides that seem suspicious of vote manipulation and we will check. We investigate guides frequently and we always take action as needed.

Thank you. :)

Hey! The best way is to use the report function since that way we'll be able to keep record of the reported user. Alternatively, you can also send me a private message.

I do believe a lot of it could also be people begging for upvotes on forums- not sure on the legitimacy of that.
