- If you're afraid of what you might see written on a screen from a bunch of strangers I'm surprised you have the balls to visit a WG in person... That's the sort of reaction you could expect.
- Also, if your review had even a whiff of touting I'd probably be one of the users to throw a few challenges your way "for seemingly no reason", simply based on your user name alone. The nickname "Veritas01" gives me a raised eyebrow straight off the bat, in the very same way I would scoff at a tout nickname of "It'sTheHonestTruth,Guv'nor01")
- It's not really a case of being afraid, but a case of - why bother? It seems like if you have a positive review of HOD - you will get called out. I've seen people defending themselves with relatively adequate answers and still get dismissed. The only reason I even tried HOD was despite the comments here and only because they turned out to be literally across the road from me.
- Veritas is a manga I really like an is my go-to username when I don't want to use my normal one, but you sort of prove my point. Should I have been making my username with the thought? "Oooh, god forbid someone thinks I am not genuine". If you are looking for touts - you will find them everywhere, that's my point or at least that's how it appears to me. I just want to reiterate - the point of this isn't to defend HOD or to even complain about something - it's to provide a newbie's perspective on what HOD reviews and their responses make me think about posting my own reviews (not just of HOD).
SO: you've been a member for TWO MONTHS. And you've posted NOTHING. Literally NOTHING. And then, for your first post, despite the thousands of threads you could post on, you resurrect a thread from TWO MONTHS ago about HOD that had previously died a death - preempting, of course, your own positive review of HOD.
In answer to your question: given the above circumstances, no they probably won't.
Yes, because it's the first thread I thought I had any input on - an experience on this thread or outside of it that's relevant. I guess I can make shitposts in other threads - but why? Also, the first time I joined I did so purely for reviews and to "read", not that I plan to be a leecher forever but there you go.
I didn't actually see it's a 2 month old thread. I searched "HOD" into the bar and this thread popped up, well formatted and well outlined, so I thought I'd chime in with my 2 cents.
If anything - I think my experience (both of this forum and of HOD) supports the point of NOT having the HOD reviews on here, since that would mean I wouldn't be in a dilemma of "should I even bother posting HOD or am I gonna be branded a tout?"
And you're right - they probably won't, so I probably won't bother. I guess if you think I'm not genuine - that's a bad thing. And if you think I'm a tout - that's a good thing.
