This process of editorial review of internet reviewers is new; many websites still seem to let just anyone post reviews and that decreases the value of those reviews (at least to me). I still look at those reviews but I don't treat them any differently than what someone might post to a message board; unless they've got a strong track record *and* I know about that record.
There are a few good fan reviewers we have here. Plus, since many of us post on these message boards as well as review, you get a greater feel for them, more so then just through their reviews.
