ZET's review for Vibestarter
Score: 1350
NEGATIVE

"Review and Vouch speculation by creating tasks on their own platform"

This project is inflating its Score by motivating Ethos users to leave EXCLUSIVELY positive reviews about them, as well as vouch for them by staking ETH. Even though this is a brand new project that has partnered with Ethos Network and gives priority to users with reputation, ETHICS MUST BE THE HIGHEST PRIORITY. I will be downvoting every incoming review on this project and I've already done so for the positive reviews that came in on this profile over the last 24 hours. I can't trust user reviews on this profile's page while this Score-boosting campaign is going on, and I see them as biased. Link to my post with a [screenshot](https://x.com/0xKharon/status/2031455415649841192). I told them about it, and here's the response I got: " This was a decision that was discussed directly with the Ethos team. We're not forcing anybody to do it.

I agree bro, if you gotta pay for good reviews then your reputation means nothing

It would be better if the task simply requested an honest review instead of a "good review" or "vouch" task

First, an acknowledgement that the wording of the review quest was badly written. Encouraging only positive reviews was short-sighted and we've adjusted it to "leave a review", both positive and negative reviews give the same score. You're welcome to continue testing the platform and come to your own conclusions.

hmm, dear Serpin, would you comment on this? it looks like a slash (that's what happened with Re)
I just signed up for the platform and now the Ethos Review task says "Leave any review: positive, negative, or neutral. Honest feedback counts.", which I felt is pretty legit, though asking for a review after using the platform for a bit would have been better. If there is a task, people will go and do it, whether they believe in the platfrom or not, as long as they earn points. I will go and put a neutral review now, but after reading your post I realize that they hadn't worded the task properly before, so kudos on tagging it ZET and good thing by Vibestarter team that they rectified the wording.
