The note above the review box...
...where it reminds reviewers to be honest, encouraging and respectful...
I think there should be another respectful reminder included in there, for public reviews only...asking reviewers to use good judgment with the details they mention, especially any "surprises" or "twists." I want to hear anything my reviewers have to say, but it can very easily ruin the ride for one who happens to read the review before the actual story. I'm talking about reading others as well as my own stuff being read. Sometimes when we realize in the middle of a story just how large and important a detail was given in a public review, our opinions or feelings about that story can be potentially (however inadvertently) altered.
I realize it's usually not one's intention to "give away" a story, but I think it would be nice to see mentioned as a last second reminder.
