A man jailed for creating a Facebook page rating the sexual performance of women in central Victoria has successfully appealed against his sentence.

In August, Bendigo man David McRory, 22, was sentenced to four months' prison for using a carriage service to offend and publishing objectionable material online.

He also pleaded guilty to charges of financial deception.

The prosecution told the court McRory set up the page with a friend after seeing similar pages online for other towns.

After community outrage, police removed the page and laid charges.

The judge said the offending on Facebook, which took place in June 2011, was disgraceful and a sad reflection on members of the community who contributed by submitting the comments for publication.

McRory's lawyer admitted his client's behaviour was incredibly stupid, abhorrent and immature.

The prison sentence was quashed on Tuesday and instead McRory was ordered to serve an 18-month community correction order.

He must perform 140 hours of community service and participate in mental health treatment.

He did not enter custody after being given bail pending the appeal.
