While the effort is appreciated, please do no attempt to police the forums and 'point out' who you think is or is not a recurring troll. It is counterproductive becuase it feeds the very people you want removed. It also helps set nearly every possible forum in the wrong direction, making them useless for people with actual questions or those interested in having a conversation not filled with anger and recriminations. Contact us directly through the contact form if you have concerns. We will remove posts concerned only with 'outing' trolls, as well as the trolls themselves.
Each recently locked, moved or deleted thread was done so as a measure to prevent trolling and hate speech. Furthermore, it is within our terms of service to do so at our discretion. We really do hope to help all people build better lives here. That begins with mutual respect and constructive discussions.
If you have any concerns or comments about this, please email us at team@gokunming.com If you would like to continue any discussion with a particular forum member, you are invited to us our private messaging feature. Thank you for your understanding.
It's come down to us banning, deleting and locking this thread and others that refer to it. We support those of you who have spoken against the behavior of a few and do not condone the lack of respect for our community that has been on display by others.
Further violations or attempts to restart this thread will result in deletion and/or banning.
Thank you SarahB for sharing. We agree with you as well. For now, this thread and others referring to the very unfortunate posts in the other will be locked. Further violations of our website from certain users will result in deletion and/or banning.
Every category's participants were nominated directly by users. If there were more nominations than the category limit, then we took the top five with the most nominations.
One large reason for percentage differences was the use of Weixin (WeChat) as a voting tool. Just like last year, we provided bilingual instructions on how to vote (and nominate) via sending a direct message to GoKunming's official account. Voting conducted in this manner was tabulated and added to the overall website count.
The total number of individual votes cast was in the thousands, while the total number of ballots was less. Since we do not require any voter to place their vote in every category, some categories received many more votes than others.
We abstained from publishing total votes as a compromise stemming from emails urging us to only use percentages, show total votes, do it the old way simply with winners and runners-up, or a combination of all of these.
Thanks to everyone who nominated and voted and to all the participants as well. Happy new year!
A review was deleted because the poster maintained eight separate GoKunming accounts, which were used to leave multiple negative reviews for the same business. The user has been banned and his comments removed from the site.
The review section is meant for honest commentary by distinct individuals. If users commenting in the review section do so only to discredit a venue, or if high ratings are clearly self-promotion by a business, the reviews will be deleted and the user banned.
