Indeed, two people (not hard to figure out who) managed to get themselves on review (i.e., all their future postings will be reviewed, and rather strictly I might add) in the same day, for flaming.

The rules actually permit reviews of public figures in Tango (those who promote themselves commercially in Tango) as long as (a) the reviewer is identified including the location of the community in which he or she belongs (to prevent anonymous or fake name "reviews" (b) it's not a competitor or someone acting on behalf of a competitor and (c) it's a real review based on actual experience. However, I have to say that some of the recent negative comments on some Tango personalities are so obviously lacking in specifics and objectivity that they reflect more negatively on the "reviewers" than on the person being (negatively) reviewed. And a final reminder, the rules suggest a 2-posting-per-week limit, which actually has never been enforced (and is probably a little too restrictive at this point). When the list was hosted on listserv until a year or so ago, the software automatically enforced a 2-posting-a-DAY limit, but the new list server doesn't have that feature. So I would ask that all posters voluntarily observe at least the 2-a-day limit, which would help maintain the quality (or at least information content) of the posts.
