Web of Trust, MyWOT/WOT: Website Reputation Rating por WOT Services
Análise por buggs

por buggs, a há 4 anosWho determines whether a site is dangerous? The public. With WOT, it appears to be compromised of users that report anyone or any site that doesn't agree with their politics or worldview. That includes alternative/integrative medicine, or similarly. It isn't about safety with privacy or viruses. Rather than honor and respect free speech, this is sadly a program that people have used to report anything that they disagree with as threats. It's very unfortunate as this could be a terrific program that responsibly warns about serious threats such as privacy concerns, phishing, viruses, etc. Unfortunately, it isn't.

publicado a há 4 anosHey Buggs,
Thanks for reaching out and we are happy to explain.
In order to be transparent and enable our users to form an independent, unbiased opinion, websites that are of a political nature (on any side of the political map) are tagged on our Scorecard as “Opinions, religion, politics”.
In addition, both WOT users and our advanced algorithms review websites and scan them for malware or malicious activity in order to provide protection against viruses and privacy matters.
Since WOT is a platform powered by crowdsourcing, we enable various opinions and ratings - everyone’s opinion counts and is taken into consideration.
WOT does not interfere in the discourse and does not add, edit or remove comments unless they violate our community guidelines, which can be found here: https://www.mywot.com/guidelines.
We encourage you to engage in the discourse and share your comments and reviews with the community.

publicado a há 17 diasHey Carter, please contact us directly so we can look into it. - Avaliado em 4 de 5por User, a há 20 diasAs soon as there will be more transparent and honest alternative, people will stop using WOT, but for now they are essential service. They had a tradition of rarely selling ratings to scam sites and selling personal data, but still to check balance of good deeds vs harm they are noticeably on good side. But only until transparent alternative emerges (or they dramatically improve transparency and trustworthiness and protection against fake ratings of any kind).
And for sure have a compassion - area they work is extremly hard and full of people who want to exploit. Even Google is failing lately in a holy battle against spam.
And fix my badge please, just got 1500+ points, and still no recognition! Outrageous! :)Resposta do programador

publicado a há 7 mesesHey, WOT is a freemium service and most of our features are offered for free. Our premium package offers advanced features such as Anti-phishing, Real-time protection and many more features to keep you protected online.

- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Philip Goddard, a há 7 meses(updated 6 September 2023) On the face of it, WOT is a great idea, but it wrongly gives some completely safe, authentic and trustworthy sites a poor safety rating -- two of my own sites suffering thus at the moment. For this sort of thing it's necessary for the site owner to be able to contact WOT admin directly, and not go through the cumbersome, lengthy, and indeed unreliable business of posting in the Forum to get members to review the affected site(s), or/and jump through other hoops -- but as far as I can make out, there are no such means.
Also, crowd-sourced ratings are worse than useless for giving a proper impression of validity, authenticity and overall quality of a site's contents, with regard to any subject matter about which most people hold beliefs -- such as religion, spirituality, New-Age and related areas, and indeed so-called 'mental health' (which is based in the materialistic reductionism belief system). In all such cases, the majority, belief-driven view takes priority over the more rational, objective (observation-based) view, and what the ratings are indicating is NOT any quality of the respective site contents, but simply their popularity -- which at best isn't particularly useful, and generally is seriously misleading.
One of my own sites is impacted thus, and it's galling to see so many belief-based sites (intrinsically misinformational because belief stands in the way of seeing what's really there) getting high ratings just because the respective beliefs are popular or traditional, while my own pioneering belief-free, objectively based site has only a so-so rating despite a string of very positive reviews from people who've genuinely benefited from that site.
Extrapolating from how my own sites are being treated by WOT, it's very reasonable always to be very circumspect about WOT ratings.
**Update, 6 August 2023**
I responded to the so-called Developer response to this review, with a detailed and constructive rundown on the various problems about WOT and asking for my wrongly 'usafe' and 'suspicious' rated sites to have their ratings corrected.
These people are mindbogglinly complacent and self-serving. All I got back was their standard BS line, with clear indications that this was just a pasted standard message, and one has to conclude that the contents of my message went unread.
I've therefore decreased my rating to one star.
I've tried to give WOT reasonable benefit of doubt, but they show themselves to be right out of touch with any sense of genuine human responsibility for what they're doing. Sure, it's a service, but the question is, who it's really serving. Not decent and conscientious websites and their owners, that's for sure! -- The WOT people should be hanging their heads in shame! - Avaliado em 5 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 18002481, a há 8 meses
