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.

Sorry, I forgot nobody reads books anymore, so no student ever underlines passages in textbooks as a reminder of what to study for exams, no one ever sells books back to bookstores to be bought used, stupid students never underline the wrong passages in textbooks, and maniacs never mislead future students who buy used books.
Also, reviewers are never idiots who give bad reviews because they are too stupid to understand how to use perfectly functional products.
