Since I am making Rome my daily driver, I left a new review over there.
Bookmark the OpenMandriva page on Distrowatch and use that as a redirect for whenever you need to access the website to help drive up the rankings. Let’s push this project up into the top 10!
Distrowatch did not require me to register to leave an anonymous review. The only limitation is the 250 word minimum. They do have to be approved before you can see them, and I don’t know how long that takes.
Go over there and leave a review folks.
Good luck getting your review published! I left mine 4 or 5 days ago (10/10, ofcourse, but absolutely technical and objective, nothing offensive or political), all requirements fulfilled (list of pros and contras included, long enough etc.), but it is still nowhere to be seen. At the same time, they published a lot of user reviews for Mint, MX and many other distros. User rating is also still unchanged (8.1 from 46 user reviews). Let’s hope it was because my review was not good enough, and not because DistroWatch has OM on some blacklist.
We can still drive up the traffic. If we don’t see the reviews, we can hit them up for a reason.
I just sent them an email. Here is a c&p of it. Sorry for the formatting.

Several of us have left reviews for OpenMandriva, yet they are not published. Might we ask why? Your answer will be posted on the OpenMandriva forums.
Thanks,

Sure…

Time will tell.
5 days and no response to my email. I’m not sure they care.
Well… Screw’em! The big time of OpenMandriva will come, 100%! The chain reaction has already started.
Don’t forget to hit them with some traffic to our distro. Leave a review if you have not done so.
I love this distro. If I get the bug to distro hop, I will put them in a VM.
BTW OM is now 36. lol.
@WilsonPhillips
I have the feeling that they just ignore it lol.
No surprise

No $$$ no party!
I’m pretty sure all he worries about is his add revenue.
