Misleading mod descriptions and problematic review moderation
I had a disappointing and frustrating experience with GameBanana. I downloaded a mod for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that was explicitly titled and described as CEMU/Wii U compatible (Mod ID: 526522, ‘Textures Full HD pack for CEMU’). After taking over 7 hours to download, i discovered that the contents of the pack were not compatible with CEMU at all, lacking files essential for installation (such as ‘rules.txt’ or the ‘content/’ folder), and in fact being usable only for Switch emulators such as Yuzu/Ryujinx. I decided to write a negative review on the mod page to warn other users and to point out the discrepancy between the description and the actual content. My review was based on facts, detailing the specific compatibility problem and time lost. Surprisingly, this review was removed by GameBanana moderation with the reason ‘R.17: Nonsense’, without any clarification or opportunity for meaningful direct appeal. I find it unacceptable that a factual and helpful review, intended to prevent other users from running into the same misleading compatibility problem, is labeled as ‘nonsense’ and removed. This undermines confidence in the accuracy of mod descriptions on the platform and the review moderation process, preventing users from having complete and reliable information. I hope GameBanana will review its moderation policies and ensure greater accuracy in mod descriptions to prevent future disappointment for users.
