The threads for this forum have a lot of off-topic "Thank you" or "Can you also test.. " replies... Most of the replies being way off-topic from the thread subject and adding little or no value to the "thread". We will publish some guidelines in a few hours, but basically we want to see good replies and friendly debates..only then we will remove the "Moderation Mode".

We have added a new field, called "Disclaimer". If you select this field, i's optional to add or not, the MalwareTips disclaimer will be added to the thread.
"
Disclaimer:
Due to the small number of samples used in this tests, you should take results with a grain of salt. I encourage you to compare this results with others and take informed decisions on what security products to use."

We have a lot of people searching for video reviews, and they should know that these test should be take with a grain of salt.

Yes, but it's hard to have a debate about the results of a antivirus going through 20 "Thanks" "Good Review" "Can you also test..." replies...

Not sure I like this change... but in a way I understand why.
Thanks are more powerful than likes.(imo) Especially both, It gives respect for the reviewer for his/her time. If also there's not a moderator online (excuse my ignorance of how the system works) and a lot of people try and respond it will create a clutter of requested replies.

That is the purpose of the like button,which is to avoid "spam" posts which clutter a thread and the on topic replies become buried.The less than friendly replies factor into this also

why not bump the debate posts up

I dont understand what you mean by bumping the debate posts up unless you mean "moving" them up? Frankly I would think that is not an option.

Maybe so but as long as the "Thanks" is applied to a on topic constructive reply then it is ok but not posting things such as Jack pointed out in his reply.There is usually a staff member online most of the time that can approve/disapprove the threads awaiting moderation

Please keep in mind what Jack stated earlier in this thread.When the replies are good and the debates are friendly the moderation mode will be removed.It's unfortunate that some have to deal with this because of the actions of a few but this is really the only way to deal with this problem.

OP posts video link
1st reply: What song did you use?
OP responds: Songname - Artist
2nd reply: Thanks
3rd reply: Good review
OP responds: Thanks
4th reply: Constructive feedback or debate
5th reply: Can you test product B?
OP reponds: Sure
6th reply: Awesome work
OP responds: Thanks

From when the video was posted, only 1 reply was actually on topic, the rest are off-topic. And this not occur only once, it happens in many of the OP's threads.

Bottom line: We know they do product testing / reviews on Youtube. Don't be Captain Obvious. :)
