There are other ones that I've seen around, but this is the latest one. Look at the scores.

First off: I don't even know how is this created, but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be like this.
Second: Is this even legal? Are reviews like this going to be deleted?
Third: Is this going to get fixed before it starts spreading more and more?

I didn't even know you could give higher than a 10, let alone give an enjoyment score of 234/10. How do you even do that?

Nevermind, I figured it out. I think I'll stick to the 10 point scale, but it is kind of cool that you can do that. I didn't even know you could affect permanent things with inspect element. I guess since you're just changing the value it plugs in you could probably give it a score of "ass" or "Yeah!", but maybe it requires an integer. I suppose this little glitch could be played around with a lot.

I don't think this should be a thing though. I can already see how many spam reviews will there be if this won't get fixed.

It's a obviously a troll review, but thanks; I got a light laugh out of it.
Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you.

I put it on the support forum so it could be acknowledged and fixed, not to entertain you, but I'm glad you got at least that.

Normally reporting the review is enough to get it fixed, but I'm guessing there's a more widespread problem you want fixed?

Yes, I've been seing this around as of late, everyone can actually do it, so it needs to be stopped before everyone starts using it to spam reviews like that. Jokes get old.

There are other users who similarly have reviews with scores beyond the normal range. Score input needs to be validated so that it rejects values greater than 10 or less than 1.

Threads Merged.

The devs are aware of the problem, it's on the list of bugs that need to be fixed.

I'd like to clarify that only integers greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 10 should be accepted, in case someone tries to put in a value like 3.6246.
