SpiralBound, I think that is a great idea. I just want to take a look at the logistics - can we come up with an idea that would prevent faking a review? The weakness is in the software and if we could come up with a great solution for RPGnow, maybe they would alter the way reviews are done. It doesn't need to be on `Le's shoulders. If we can fix the system - why not do it.
Lets take an example. Someone goes to an internet cafe and sets up a second acount. How would we stop that? Thinking about it, I think the answer lies in RPGnow insisting reviewers have a credit card or verified paypal account to get a "verfied" reviewer status. We take advantage of the credit card's background checks. If someone is so serrious they fake a credit card - they've got bigger problems to worry about anyway.
Does RPGnow require a paypal/credit card and is there any system in play to detect duplication? The latter part, probably not but I don't know.
