ReviewDB is a plugin made by User:Mantikafasi. It allows people to review other Discord users.
Its dashboard can be found at reviewdb.mantikafasi.dev. This is also where downloads for all available Client mods can be found. However, the actual API is served on manti.vendicated.dev.
Compatibility
ReviewDB is available for the following client mods:
- Vencord
- Aliucord
- Vendetta
- Enmity
- BetterDiscord (not working)
ReviewDB also has a Twitter version.
The only actively maintained version is the Vencord one. It includes modern features like blocking and review deleting.
Features
With ReviewDB, you can review Discord users and bots. By default, anyone can review you. You can opt-out from ReviewDB via the ReviewDB dashboard. You can report reviews on any profile, by pressing the flag icon next to each review. This will send it to the administrators, who may then delete it and ban the user for anywhere between 1 day and 1 month.
On Vencord, you can also delete reviews from your own profile, and block users from reviewing you, directly on your user reviews page.
Reception
ReviewDB has mostly been well received. However, there are occasional complaints about harrasment. In response, the ability to opt out from being reviewed has been added.
On Oct 8th, 2023, ReviewDB was removed from Vencord[1] due to a disagreement over its moderation between User:Vendicated and User:Mantikafasi. More specifically, Vendicated wanted users to be able to delete reviews from their own profile to more effectively counter abuse and harassment.
This led to mantikafasi creating his own Vencord fork VencordPlus[2] with ReviewDB included. However, this fork saw very low adoption.
On Jan 14, 2024, they came to an agreement and mantikafasi added the ability to delete reviews from one's own profile and to block up to 50 users. Thus, ReviewDB was readded to Vencord.[3]
Trivia
- As of March 10, 2024, the ReviewDB website is blacklisted by Avast.
- On March 8, 2024, the server that was hosting the ReviewDB dashboard was deleted by its provider Oracle which caused a two day outage of it. The dashboard was subsequently moved to Cloudflare Pages.
- Around early February, mantikafasi experimented with letting an AI bot named "Rule Creator", powered by Google Gemini review users. As one might imagine, this did not go well, and the bot was automatically banned from ReviewDB by its automatic slur filters.
