I third the motion. It sounds like it would work.

Or maybe have a button to "report non-review", then a small group of mods can look over the opinions to see if they are worthwhile, not tosee if they agree or whatever, but they can see at a glance if it's someone hitting random keys to post an opinion, and they can just click a checkbox against a list of bad reviews and then delete them.

I forth it. On both ideas. I think it would work well.

The other way i can see, although it would take a tremendous amount of coding to acomplish this, would be to have a semi "smart" computation done on the review to see how "legit" it is by searching for keywords based on words used in the opinion, and search for repeat words or paragraphs and non-legit words. (like asdf) I see this as incredibly hard to implement and probably not a good idea, as if not perfect, it could potentially catch good reviews as bad, and skip bad reviews passing it off as good.

THe other option, would be to have a button for the creator to "report" the review as false, Like Chao mentioned, since most creators would be annoyed if someone just pasted random paragraphs or put garbage in their reviews just to boost their own op score, and is likely to report it. Then this report could then work against the Reviewer when counting the rating on the entire system. In otherwords, the Reviewer;s scoreing weight would be reduced, so ANY of his/her reviews would not hold as much weight in the system because some of his reviews were reported as false. This would encourage people to not report false reviews, since it would effect all of their reviews as a whole and not just the false one. In otherwords, I think the weight reduction or increase on reviews should be on the User (opinion giver) level, and not on the indivudual Review level. If that made any sense.

All suggestions are great

. Should be really put in consideration.

I for once really like the questionaire idea. There is one problem though (besides actually responding to it). I doubt that most of the creators will fill it out honestly. If they get a very low rating (but a long thought out review) and they know it'll effect their average what stops them to say "no" on some questions? In this case, the personallity of the creator judges the most and, as most of us know, a lot lack it.

That "Report" button idea is badass

. Maybe some more people should be hired for that job (attending to delete the invalid ops. that is).
