Just joking with ya!  The idea is a bit too mathmatical for subjective ratings about gettin' trim, though.

In order to improve the quality of the review system, TER should implement a Reliabilty Rating that incorporates a weighted average based on the number of reviews the reviewer has posted. For instance,  the rating could be calculated by dividing the number of reviews submitted by the reviewer by 100, adding all the individual reliabilty ratings together and dividing by the number of reviews. In essence, a weighted average of the expereience level of the reviewers.

Example 1:

Reviewer 1 has 9 reviews = .09 reliability
Reviewer 2 has 20 reviews = .2 reliability
Reviewer 3 has 1 reviews = .01 reliability

Reliability rating = .13

Example 2:

Reviewer 1 has 1 reviews = .01 reliability
Reviewer 2 has 1 reviews = .01 reliability
Reviewer 3 has 1 reviews = .01 reliability

Reliability rating = .01

It's a simple way to overcome shill reviews and account positively for the obvious experience of the reviewer.

My 2nd grader can figure out if a guy has 2 reviews or 80 reviews and see a guys scores and figure out if a dude is a WK easy grader or ball buster.

A little too geeky.

How about a simpler "Rate this review" or "Did you find this review useful?"  You know, like rating product or book reviews at Amazon and other websites.  

Even some forums have "rate this post" buttons (simple +1 or -1) for every post.

I rate my suggestion +1.
