This site needs attention due to the massive ongoing scorecard manipulation (& fake TrustPilot reviews).
I'm reporting this every day, but admin are unable to do much other than 'ban' accounts each time. Hundreds of accounts have been banned in the last week, but the reputation can't be changed.
I realise reputations (for many sites) are currently screwed up and easily manipulated, so I advise members to ignore this site's scorecard rating and avoid this site - sites that manipulate online reputation are not trustworthy.

I gave your scorecard comment a "thumbs-up" because I hope it might be promoted to the (default) first page of the comments in order for interested readers to notice it.spectre wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 1:51 pmThis site needs attention due to the massive ongoing scorecard manipulation (& fake TrustPilot reviews).

Thank you, but one of the countless bugs has caused comments to appear in date order, rather than significance or popularity.NotBuyingIt wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 3:25 pm

I'm impressed that you managed to find my comment amidst all the fakery, especially as comment links from profiles are also broken

Using the most recent Firefox web browser, I opened the scorecard page atspectre wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 6:30 pmI'm impressed that you managed to find my comment amidst all the fakery, …

Then I clicked on the "Newest" link in the sorting options at the top-right of the comments. The comments became sorted the comments in descending date order.
Then I clicked on the (page) "2" link beneath the comments. Your comment was then displayed (on page 2 of the sorted-by-newest list). Experienced community members should easily recoginise it, although the page number will change as more comments are posted. My guess is that a few more "thumbs-ups" will promote your comment to the first page with the default sorting option "Popular".

Re: Banggood.com Scorecard Manipulation
One thing I have noticed is they sell intentionally mismarked lasers in order to circumvent laser pointer regulations, marking them as <1mW when in fact they may be hundreds of mW. As such, consumers may be duped into thinking they bought a relatively eye-safe laser pointer when in fact it is something that can cause instant injury.
There is a YouTube video explaining the dangers of misbranded lasers (though directed towards eBay sellers):

Re: Banggood.com Scorecard Manipulation
Worse, if quality control is poor, lasers can scatter to the sides coherent infra-red that won't cause a blink response. This is especially true when the manufacturer achieves higher frequencies (gold, green, blue) by frequency-doubling (a cheap cheat) instead of making a chip that actually generates the desired frequency.
Given that any laser can be mislabeled or defective, "eye-safe" should not even be a term, let alone a consideration.
