Quite a few authors here at Elysian Fields have been receiving spam reviews, the content of which is not pleasant. The problem is that the only way to stop/block these reviews is to turn off anonymous reviews. This won't stop anyone from reviewing a story, it would just mean that every reader would have to have an account and be logged in while reading to leave feedback.
Before a decision is made we'd like to open the issue up for discussion. The essential question is, would turning off anonymous reviews bother/effect you? If so - how/why.
Please reply to this news item with your opinion, or alternatively you can contact us via email. Thank you.

I always leave my name but I am usually positive in what I try to say. I say do away with anonymous reviews. If I forget to log in, then I still leave my name at the end.
How's that?
I think you need to do what has to be done. I love this site and if spam effects our wonderful writers, then do away with the anon reviews...cause personally..if you are gonna say something..have the guts to stand by your opinions.
