Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
Online marketplace Amazon has placed a limit on the number of reviews shoppers can leave on the site.
In a bid to put a stop to false feedback, people can now write only five reviews a week of items not bought via the online store.
The change applies to most products and is part of efforts to clamp down on people selling positive comments.
The change is Amazon's latest step in its battle to ensure users trust its listings.
Hopefully this won't stop the sarcastic reviews that some serious products have attracted. They may be fake but they can be tremendously entertaining.

Amazon loves their shills. And since they are hawking such amazing items everybody will be more likely to give them all their money.
"Only" 5 items a week you haven't even bought is nothing but an empty gesture.
Fuck Amazon and their userbase. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon.com_controversies [wikipedia.org]
