Contact Fishbowl Support

This app has a lot of great potential and content flowing through. Unfortunately, as others have pointed out there are tons of “spam banners” on this app who will just report tons of your normal/kind reviews and it will automatically ban people from the app. So the more active you are in the app and the more positive content you contribute the more likely you are to get banned from it. They are shooting themselves in the foot with this, they don’t have ANY real content moderation they just accept any “reported content” regardless of if the person reporting it is simply acting malicious by targeting kind users. Several colleagues of mine have said the same thing and have been banned. It ultimately encourages you to not contribute content and just observe ok the app. If fishbowl actually had good content moderation it would be a powerful enough app that I’d want to invest personally in it, but their priorities are elsewhere. Govern the “spam banners” or you’ll lose all the users who build content within your app’s walls.

I’ve never left a review for an app in my life but here I am. The premise of this app is great and I really enjoy except the moderation of users is absolutely GARBAGE. If you are reported three times, you get permanently banned from the app. It doesn't matter what you say, if some clicks the report button, you get flagged and it's a strike against you. If someone doesn't like what you've said, they can go back and report every single comment of yours in a thread and you'll be permanently banned from the app. It's ridiculous. I'm not even talking about politics. If you have a differing of opinion, someone will game the report function and have you kicked off the app.

The app also shadowbans. I was told by customer service. They blamed it on the algorithm but told me that their program will straight up make your comments invisible due to another user reporting you.

This app really needs to get it together.

by BEWARE: Cant DELETE Account.

It was a cool app until I realized you can't delete your account and you can't delete your posts. SUPER SHADY. I tried to change my job title and while waiting approval from the app administrator, my profile has been switched so that everyone can see where I work and what I commented. The whole point is that it's supposed to be anonymous. Had I of known that trying to change my title would result in making my information public, I would have never tried to make the change. I've emailed twice for them to delete my account and I've heard nothing back. I'm very disturbed. I won't every use this app again. I wouldn't recommend this app for professionals because they are SHADY and do not make it clear that you can't delete your account at your leisure nor can you delete your posts. The lack of control of your account is extremely problematic.
