So I've been on a few review boards for a dozen years now. I have noted some not so good things and occurrences that are not so " friendly" and just plain anal and picky especially if they are supposed to be review boards who will benefit both provider and hobbyist alike in formulating informed decisions about the hobby. Some have their advantages and some, sometimes to its detriment and ultimate demise, disadvantages. I hope to hear hobbyist's and Providers' opinion. Here are some of my dislikes:
1. White knighting- usually just excuses by hobbyist to get discounts or get favorable response from providers.
2. Hobbyist too anal about details i.e. Missing punctuation marks, typos, handle details, etc. some hobbyists are just too anal about details such as " this should have been titled..." "This should be in another heading" "review doesn't sound accurate because the provider handle was misspelled."
3. Moderator monopoly - especially if there is an ongoing pattern of white knighting, client/ provider protection and censorship. Really, the reason why one has to be constructive and objective is to be inline with the review board's purpose...to assist someone in making an informed decision.
4. Board favoritism - I think this does not need elaboration as it was the cause of one board's downfall.
5. Provider and hobbyist being banned from a board for their varied and opposite opinion.
I'd like to hear your opinion....without judgement or wrath.

Since you're not prioritizing your list you should not number them but just use a standard bullet icon!
Joking 
I think you've got some very good points but suspect they will always be found on all review boards at some level or other so it's just a matter of controlling the extreme/blatent abuse and tolerating the rest.
I missed you, Sasha. I'll see you when I return to DC.
apply to anyone. If reviewers are going to do generic and not talk about a girl's personality, then just copy and past this one and save us all a bunch of useless reading:
LKF at door; DFK, shower: BBBJ; DATY, CG, RCG, ACG; RACG, K9 and Mish; showered and left.
See? One line is all you need if you're don't like details.
