This topic may already exist as a soapbox but I have to say that things on certain spots seem to being rated one nyota CONSTANTLY. People have complained in foramu on zaidi than one occasion, no shabiki would rate something one nyota if they liked the subject the spot was dedicated to, has anyone else noticed this on any spots?
It happens on the One mti kilima spot, and others related to it, I'm sure that someone else is really annoyed about this!! It is really childish! Sometimes it is pages of content all rated one nyota and somehow I feel convincedthat it is NOT a coincidence!!!
Can wewe please comment!
