    I'm all about letting people judge beers for themselves, but sorry, this goes beyond what I think even the most generous 'hads' supporter would envision as anything but 'abuse'.

    These beers cannot all possibly be the worst beer imagineable. (a "1" score).

    37 Had reviews. 36 Had scores of "1".

    I have zero problems with his "reviews". They seem genuine, even if I disagree on the score. That's fine, just fine. . .

    The hads? Sorry, they don't seem to be genuine.

    Discuss?

    Well, each time we score a beer (whether review or had), we're just one tiny vote that generally doesn't change the score. It's a bit annoying, sure, but I don't see any actual damage done.

    If the guy takes the time to review beers, and those reviews appear to be well constructed, and the only problem is with his 'hads,' I'm much more inclined to believe that he is having some kind of trouble with the new app or something and his 'hads' aren't coming through properly. But whatever the explanation, I don't understand why you choose to blow him up in a public post like this. I have much more of a problem with that than him giving 35 beers 1's. But what do I know...

    Why do you care why I care?

    I care because I think its disingenuous and makes the website less reliable, be it affecting a beer's score, user karma and otherwise. . .

    Thank you for pointing this out, but there's no need to 'discuss'... consider this 'flagged'/brought to the attention of the Admins.

    What msubulldog25 said. We don't need to have a public discussion every time this occurs. As posted several times in the past, simply bring it to our attention privately and we'll purge the abusive Hads from the system; in fact, done.

    We'll also be including a reporting system for ratings/reviews with future updates.

    Thanks.
