“Bad faith” is a common, normal term that has a well-accepted concrete legal meaning [0].
In this context it basically means posting a rating or review which doesn’t match your actual opinion. For example, crowd-sourced vote brigading (where you don’t have an opinion at all but are just voting in the way someone else told you to vote). Similarly, reviews along the lines of “This app only deserves four stars, but currently it has an average five star rating so I’m going to give it a one star review to try to bump the average rating down toward what I think the average should actually be” would be reviewing in bad faith.

- fay59 5y agoThis is your periodic reminder that not all problems have a technical solution. There probably is no bot scanning for this. If it’s ever enforced, it must be through manual human action.
- Jensson 5y agoOr companies can report reviews and a bot react when lots of such reports triggers? I think the best solution would just to block the relevant capabilities related to the ban rather than deleting the whole account based on some strange activities. Why doesn't companies do this?
