Don't be like this guy

Meta

Any of you all try that gambit clone on ELR? Well that guy adv_search is a giant twat. Here he is a few months ago doing this shit. I sent him an email saying I would call him out if he did it again, and today is that special day. Here he is again making it really difficult figuring out who it was, as you can see.

Please don't be like this guy.

Very important edit: Please please please do not 5-star any of these recipes that he/she/it one-starred, unless of course you have tried the recipe and like it! It's not really fair to the other guys with great recipes on the first few pages of ELR

His recipe was #1 for a while. Anytime someone gets near him in 'rank' or overtakes him, he one stars them. Strangely enough he always leaves some sort of comment about how he is going to 'try it' and then leaves the one-star.

what a cunty, butthurt faggot wooooooow. His recipes arent even that good.

im gunna "try" to 1-star everyone, without tasting their recipe, just so i can artificially inflate my unimportant internet ego-stars. lesigh.

edit: wasn't nectar of the gods a Mcloven's recipe?
edit2: nvm that was Heaven's Nectar.

There's so much nonsensical shit talking and arguing that happens in the comments on that website, it's hilarious. It's a great resource, but when people try to shit on other people's ratings to make theirs look better...c'mon.

He must be a VU guy with that mentality

ThirdWorldOrderOP•

Where have you been? Haven't seen you around in ages. I purchased some stuff to make some of your mixes and you took them all down :(

I've only ever seen ADV_Search post in VU, but that was a year or so ago.

The_PerrycoxMentholatier•

Hey dude! I've been around. Ever since quitting drinking, my posting is a bit more spontaneous! I will have to make myself an ELR account and archive my recipes when I'm not feeling lazy. I was blasted one night and deleted a bunch of shit after some cunty knob wanted to hassle me for something I can't remember...I'm usually a happy drunk. No more of that nonsense though!!

ThirdWorldOrderOP•

Please do make an ELR account! I like your recipes because they are much different than what normally gets posted around here, and now I have most of these obscure FW flavorings you've mentioned before.

Nice job kicking the booze! Keep it up man

Congrats on kicking the habit man. Good job.

Well, ADV_search hid all his recipes on ELR :P

Does he have a reddit account?

ThirdWorldOrderOP•

I remember seeing him on VU back in the day, never on reddit

2

Well, if you ever figure out who he is, we can ban him.

In that case im 90% sure its u/notcharlesmanson

u/daath is there a way to report users?

5
ThirdWorldOrderOP•

Daath knows about this but it's really difficult for one guy to police a place of 22k recipes. Time wasted on silly stuff like this takes away from him working on useful features unfortunately. All the more reason to consider donating to his site!

jcgivens21One of "The Damned"•

I donated $20 last month, and I asked to keep the advertisements. Wasn't my first donation either. I would counter argue that a reporting system would make it easier to manage.

Everything is super easy to code on the backend for one person, too! /s

It seems he took down the site for some reason. Maybe he's working on some kind of fix?

At the moment only by reporting them to me :)

Douches like him are probably the reason people who vape end up with a negative public persona.

Did not like that gambit clone at all and Wayne's Raspberry macaroon that he 1 stared is my absolute favorite ADV. Doucher to the supreme

But can we one-star all his shit?

3
ThirdWorldOrderOP•

I leave his fate in your hands

probywan1337I will rip you a new one if you don't use the sidebar &amp; search.•

Can't we get him banned on elr? That would be awesome. We can live without his shit recipe and bad attitude. He's not needed here or on elr

bigbruise•

Looks like he switched all his recipes to private.

Some people just can't live without the overwhelming approval of others , they guy needs to get a life .

For what its worth, I think one of the best solutions to this is to remove the ability to rate your own mixes.

2
ThirdWorldOrderOP•

People make alt accounts though

1
InsigmaTheoryPâtissier•

Well, sure. But its a bit like "Putting your wallet in your shoe at the beach". Simple, easy fix thats not completely foolproof. But someone will take the guy who didn't put his wallet in his shoe first.

i just noticed the other day a lot of users just 5 staring all their own recipes lol

I would expect someone to 5 star their own recipe if it is good. A lot of people are using ELR as their recipe storage/calculator. I am going to rate anything I put on there so I can remember how good it was later. I would also 1 star a recipe if it tasted like shit to me whether it was my recipe or from someone else. Nothing against the person that created it, and it may be awesome to everyone but me. But I want to remember that I didn't care for it.

The issue is the multiple accounts and 1 starring recipes just to keep your's at the top.

2
InsigmaTheoryPâtissier•

That's because most people don't rate recipes to begin with. If you sort recipes by rating after looking for an ingredient or search by keyword, your recipe is more likely to end up towards the top. I've done it with one.

1
ThirdWorldOrderOP•

If someone 5 stars their own recipe, then it tells me the recipe is complete and ready to mix. If someone doesn't rate their own recipe then I may think it's some sort of beta, or it needs work.

Little things like that help me and probably others whether or not they are going to invest the time to mix up someone's recipe.

sankalives•

i rarely see the rating used like this though. why only use 5 or 1 stars?

1
ThirdWorldOrderOP•

Well I'm not gonna make a recipe that the creator gave less than 5 stars to
