Reviewers: List of shame
by A Non-Existent User
We have a Top 100 reviewer's list (some of them who REALLY shouldn't even be on there, but that's a long story).

How about we have a reviewers list of shame? Sure, we want to encourage people to review better, but not enough is being done to DISCOURAGE people from posting ridiculous reviews that are beyond useless e.g. copy-pasted jobbies with like two amendments and a 3.5 rating, or the ones with like two lines, a giant sig and some links.

I mean, the amount of times I check out the reviewing page and I cannot BELIEVE the shoddy reviews that some send. And they ACTUALLY put it on the reviewing page to get rewarded!

There's WAY too many of them. They deserve to be shamed, and shamed good. And they don't come off that list until we see some improvement to a certain standard.

I'd recommend that the group "We Love In-Depth Reviews! be allowed to formulate the list. Or if not, then some kind of proper committee with enough experience to tell bad reviews from good ones.
