This is just a thought I had...
I noticed a review today that was written over a year ago and has been rated as being not useful at all. There are more than just this review that I found today. It is possible that reviews like this could be sitting on products with no other reviews, preventing them from being reviewed as free assignments by contributors who would do a much better review.
My idea...
After a year of being voted on, if a review is deemed "not useful at all" it gets auto-deleted. This would not affect the contributors rating because only the last 365 days of activity count anyways. BUT, it would get rid of the "bad apple" reviews and possibly free up assignments. It doesn't benefit eden to have a review that is not useful at all. It also saves times since you won't find yourself reading any reviews of this type. I think it makes eden look better if an even larger majority of their reviews are useful. Seems win win win to me. But that makes me wonder...why don't we already do this?
What do you think? Is this fair? Thoughts?
