Are there any examples of such a thing happening?

Today and yesterday, a vandal created reviews as spam for Mass Effect 3. The mods managed to remove them though.

I've already posted in the mod forum with a request to set up a throttling system for new accounts in reviews, just as we have one for the forums and the wiki.

And if Eddie's really sneaky, that throttle will include a Force choke.

Bumping to see if this is something that should be put forward for Wishlist.

Not for now. If we receive more attackers with this MO it's worth considering, but for now I'll close it as "no action".

Would it be possible to place a limit on the number of reviews a troper can write for a single work within a certain amount of time? It would stop vandals from spamming bogus reviews and shouldn't interfere with the writing of legitimate reviews.
