Reviews that are open to any troll (with or without a site account
instantiated) is one thing that I definitely dislike. If the reviewer has
no professional affiliation and too much freedom to post, this can be
damaging.
Amazon is one such example, the Alexa site reviews (along with others I have
seen) is another (see e.g. http://tinyurl.com/999m9). I had some people
leave one-word reviews with a 1/5 in my MATLAB downloads pages, which are
managed remotely. I think the administrators are now trying to cull off the
tr(oll)iviews (an attempt at making up that word).
