> Negative reviews can generally be tracked easily by registered user. It seems like a good enough idea that the force of negative reviews should fall off exponentially with respect to frequency per user that I'm surprised its either not done more, or more apparent.
> If someone complains all the time about everything, the people around them quickly learn to ignore it. Our systems should too.
That assumes that "too much" negative criticism is false and merely the result of a disagreeable personality. I think that assumption is false.
I think that's false, people who frequently post negative reviews may just be the kind of people who have legitimately higher standards vs. people who are happy with even objectively crappy things.
I don't think the frequency of negative reviews, by itself, gives you any real information about the quality of the reviewer.
