Review bombing
-
Someone is using automated tools or bots to review bomb my posts. I disabled the 5 star review system for now, but is there a way I can combat this?
I don’t want a paid subscription, I don’t really have a need for that. Just some plugin which will prevent this would be great.
WP.com: Yes
Jetpack: No
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Just mark every unwanted comment as spam. Also add the must used keyboards in those spamcomments to the list of blocked words.

I disabled the 5 star review system
If they were ticking the Crowdsignal star rating system, unfortunately AFAIK there’s no built-in feature to ban them like there is on comments.
If something requires a plugin, you’d need to have the Business plan.

@justjennifer that figures. I’ve just disabled the rating system for now. Thanks for taking the time to reply though. I appreciate it.

@staartmees it’s nothing to do with comments. It’s just the 5 Star rating system. I’ve disabled it. It’s a shame people want to abuse something like that for no real reason. But it’s not a must have thing I guess so I took it off. Thanks for replying though.

@mentalityunhinged. Thanks for the update. If the issue came from that plugin, disabling it should fix the problem. I will close this request for now.
