Another one that just popped up: » Review of HughesNet |

It has different ways to set it up to prevent spam written in the first place. May not work without a registration and I know registration was declined before but what about a simple one simply to place a review. It just seems like that kind of spam should be stopped before it gets posted. |

Well, such system does not seem to be employed on this site and perhaps it is time to consider using such a system if not already in place. Two more that popped up today, seems like we are playing whack a mole: » Review of StarBand Communications Inc.» Review of HughesNet |

The spam reviews and FAQ entries which are getting through and people are reporting are blatant merchandise spam for the most part --- watches, dresses, etc. The flurry of Electronicbox reviews came after an email from Electronicbox to their customers asking them to post their reviews here, good or bad. » Anyone else curious about the flurry of Ebox reviews?There doesn't seem to be any reward/punishment system in place by Electronicbox to manipulate the review contents. I don't see any evidence at all that they're spam. The writing varies, the ratings vary, etc. The one you linked is just short. |

A lot of the reviews I have already posted to this thread have been ratings of 0% with links to sites selling fake rolex watches, drugs, fake designer clothing, etc. |

I have changed the system to never auto-approve emailed in reviews even if they don't have any spam regular expression matches. |

Thanks, I am hoping this cuts down on the number of spam reviews going forward. |

Spam review of MagicJack (note the grammer) » Review of magicJack by SlowFreddy-Rob |

I checked and there is no evidence it is a spam review as the IP was consistent with his posts all through 2012. |

Someone is spamming the crap out of Electronicbox today:
Every one of those users registered today.
Edit: just saw fatness's earlier Electronicbox message, it might just be that again.
