If you've looked at GameFAQs' PSP reviews page any time before today, please contact me as soon as possible. I am trying to confirm something about the page that may have changed in recent days. Thanks in advance.
Thanks guys, I did in fact check Google's cache and found the version of the page linked above. However, the google cache was taken on April 4... I'm looking for information on how the page looked before April 4. Thanks for your efforts, though.
Yes, Chris, that is what I'm wondering about, although I didn't want to go into specifics before I heard from people. Any information you have on this, even anecdotally, please send to kyle.orland@gmail.com
Unfortunately, since I didn't see any of the reviews before they were pulled down, and no one I've talked to seems to have direct experience with them (all the reports seem to be second or third-hand), I can't confirm whether or not they were actually joke/troll reviews or whether there is something else at work. Regardless, I've gotten enough anecdotal evidence to determine that some reviews were taken down and that this is not the first time it has happened on GameFAQs. Look for my thoughts on this issue, as it were, sometime soon.
You probably know this already, but Google caches crawled pages, and might have the old version of the page in its cache.

A few days ago, there were a few negative reviews that were pulled. Is that what you were wondering about Kyle?

ReplyDeleteIts already been confermed that they were troll/joke reviews. If it makes you feel any better,they also removed a few troll/joke reviews from DS to.
ReplyDeleteSo this is not some cover up by cjyc or cnet or whoever. Just a bunch of immature fanboys feeling insecure.
Ahh, I had just heard that they had yanked all the reviews under a 7 score.
ReplyDeleteStill, the fact that they can and did delete the reviews without any kind of explanation is IMO pretty serious.
