Additional Comments:

Pretty stupid huh? Well alot of people suspect him of a smurfer.

So could you please do an IP check or warn or ban him please?

PS: Alot of people have told him to read the Review guidelines. Does't seem like he did.

Doc is aware of ARROBA and he has warned him about his reviews. It should also be noted that Doc is basically the only staff member right now that can and does look at the granary right now. This is due to some unfortunate problems with Centy being at collage and Blitz being a multiplayer there for having no interest or reason to look at the granary.

What a lame way to promote your own work. Pathetic really...

Take your time

I really appreciate every contribution, but no need to rush to track everything down. Besides, I don't think there's still much to be discovered, maybe just a few things... not sure about that though

It's still hard to say if they are the same person though. An IP check might work but if the person is using Proxies it would make it harder to track.

Doesn't seem necessary here - simply delete badly written reviews that appear to be biased one way or another is a much better way to curb this kind of stuff. It's just bad that Lorenzo is on his own at the moment.

I've downloaded and played guillermo's minotor maze (AoE scenarios) which was rated by ARROBA. I tell you this scenario was even worse than mine and this guy gave him a 5!

Well ARROBA is from France i think. Guillermo was writing in a different language. If someone remembers which language was it could really help i suppose.

I'm not completely sure but it wasn't French. I think he is Guillermo from South America. Don't quote me on that. I just seem to remember that for some reason and if it is correct or not I don't know.

An official warning? What are the odds he'll stop if you just delete the reviews and keep silence?

Anyway, here are the crappy, obviously bad reviews:

http://aoe.heavengames.com/dl-php/showfile.php?fileid=1981
http://aoe.heavengames.com/dl-php/showfile.php?fileid=1986

And here's him impersonating Andrea as far as I can see (possibly copyvio):

Okay - I've removed some bad reviews, but I don't want to ban the guy as it doesn't, to me, seem like he's being deliberately malicious. I've mailed him with some more advice.

Did I say I was doing that? I've contacted ARROBA once or twice: banning isn't a solution, as then he would have a grudge. At the moment, it seems he's trying to be helpful, and, IMO, its worth shaping enthusiasm into helpfulness if possible.

Well done on the removal...but now it looks odd saying "someone get rid of that idiot" when the previous message is by the uploader/designer!

Glad they've been taken care of.

I find it pathetic for people to rate untruthfully just to promote their campaigns. :/

Hi, threads are only locked here when matters get out of hand badly. That's not the case here, so the mods will allow it to go into oblivion on its own.
