report button for distro reviews?


One of my favorite features about this site is the ability for users to give an opinion about a distro without having to set up a blog or website for others to see it. However, I've noticed that there are some users who post tech support questions or just plain gibberish.

Example:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/review...t=798#review10
http://www.linuxquestions.org/review...t=798#review12
http://www.linuxquestions.org/review...t=633#review12

Granted, I can see how the moderators could be against this because it may lead to abuse, but I think it would help clean it up a little bit. My alternative suggestion would be for users to have 3 or so posts to be able to post reviews (just like with posting URLs) since the problem seems to come from new users who aren't sure where to post.

What are your thoughts?

+1 from me. I hadn't realised there wasn't a report button on distro reviews, or that it was cluttered up with non-related posts.

Actually, there is a "Report Product" link which can be used for this kind of thing. Thanks for the feedback.
