Re: Your watchmen quote
I think Amazon's "Was this rating helpful (Yes/No)?" provides a good filter for ratings. A lot of mindlessly negative reviews get filtered out by the users who come along afterwards and rate the rating in their own self-interest.
- thebigshane 14y agoThat can be easily gamed as well. If you want to boost a rating for a book, mark all of the negative comments as not helpful... In fact, I see that happen on Amazon and Newegg a lot.
- SilasX 14y agoThey have a solution for that -- on Amazon (at least) to filter for the most helpful unfavorable reviews.
