Well, it finally happened. After months of massive cheating, plagiarism and what-have-yous from so many dishonest members, Ciao has finally thrown in the towel. I'm glad I have stopped writing reviews for that site two months ago when they perfunctorily banned members from whole countries, the Philippines included.
What's ironic is that, from what I kept hearing from my US and UK-based friends who were still active at Ciao, the "solution" didn't work as the cheating continued. What rankles most is that we honest members were the ones who suffered most -- we who spent half of our time logged in to Ciao reporting copied or nonsense reviews!
Well, all good things do come to an end. Too bad Ciao didn't even see fit to try out the sensible suggestions of honest members on how they can improve the site before totally deciding it's over.
