Microsoft enables developer to report spammy Windows Store reviewsNovember 9, 2015 - 15:04 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Users, who spend enough time browsing the Windows Store, are bound to come across a fair share of spammy or “useless” reviews that add little to the conversation. In an attempt to improve matters, Microsoft is now making it easier for developers to report low-quality user reviews, PCWorld reports. Developers can now report questionable reviews to the Windows Store support team. From there, a support representative can remove the offending review if they determine that the review violates store policies. The company also put new anti-spam technology into place that can “detect and remove a large majority of the spam reviews.” Developers can also reply to a reviewer’s concerns directly, a feature Microsoft put in place last year, as PCWorld notes. Taken together, if implemented properly, these additional tools should go a long way toward controlling spam on the Windows Store, and make reviews a more useful and relevant tool for users who want to determine whether an app is worth downloading or purchasing.
