Coincidental Findings with Star Trolling Foundries

So, I have been flamed by these exact 2 names numerous times. In fact these 2 names coincidentally ran all 3 of my publishings leaving behind a 2 star ratings with comments that make absolutely no sense in regards to how my foundries are. Sadly, I've also noticed, which I've highlighted for everyone to view, that the 2 names are starting with almost the exact same characters. Also: these 2 reviews popped up at the exact same time! I'm thinking this person is duo-boxing 2 separate accounts, and /following the primary account in order to run 2 characters through at the same time in order to troll-rate foundries.

Here is for you to see,

I'm being discouraged by this and I find it just downright disgusting. I have spoke with a GM "finally" about this and he said that the teams are looking into this and are considering posting IP bans on people doing this to foundry authors as a solution.

If you want to get nitty-gritty about analyzing the possibility of this being the same person, look at his grammar. He uses the ... frequently in his comments.

I know for a fact, given the first 4 letters "<removed>" in this person's handle, is almost a clear depiction of the same person. Also the fact that these 2 reviews have popped up 3 times now at the exact same time on ALL of my work.

I am glad they are finally going to be doing something about this. So keep trolling foundries guys, you're not going to see the light of day for much longer.

Savai, out.

    Given that the intent of the rating/reviews is to give other players an idea of what to expect, a solution would be to disable showing (publicly) every single review in chronological, and only show at random reviews that depict what the average or near average rating is, eliminating ratings of extremes.

    If I remember my own review of this mission I did comment that the story does not deliver on the depth it promises at the bottom of the overview. In which case I concur with JM Carver's assessment and not your own statement which says their comments "make absolutely no sense in regards to how my foundries are." I'm sorry Savai, but you are wrong.

    His brother/wife/mother...cus you know, it isn't unusual for family members to have similar handles...or use ellipses...WA Carver is giving very useful feedback with regard the "auto level" script for team play. Why are you ignoring it?

    I looked back at all the reviews for your other quests and couldn't see any other review from the Carver's. Not saying they weren't there, but they aren't showing up on the public side. I'm not sure why this is a big deal anyway. I've played and reviewed the full portfolio of some author's work. I've subscribed to many. There is nothing sinister about seeing the same player reviewing several or all of your quests.

    Come on guys please stop this.
