I hear 'ya but then that precludes the response we got from the president of the BedInABox company in the thread about why there were suddenly so many reviews about his company's product. If someone's a spammer, report it to Viewpoints and let the company handle it. Otherwise, let 'em come and say what's on their minds.
Not everyone wants to write reviews but people have a basic human need to be sociable. If Viewpoints is willing to provide this space for wide-ranging chat, I think we should welcome people who want to chat. Who knows? They may decide to write reviews in the future.

I knew someone was going to bring that up. In that particular case, that gentleman could have contacted Viewpoints management, and an exception could have been made in his case.
As for people posting and later deciding to start writing reviews, I honestly believe that it's highly unlikely.
