Looks like all review subs are gone. Odd.
Yes, that was by design. As it was set up, the OP had way too much power as reviews were not averaged and that was the review that everyone saw. They could use it to promote a product or trash a competitors product. Star based reviews by a single user serve no useful function.
We are going back to the way we used to do things and all discussion of a product should be done in the proper sub-forums.

That makes sense. But what about all the excellent reviews that were previously written? Are they all gone now, or can they be migrated to their respective categories without the star system?

Previous reviews will be moved into the proper subforums over the next few days - the ModTeam need to do a few changes to each single one to make sure the images shows up. Hopefully most will be moved by the end of the weekend, but no guaranties.

By the way guys,on 6/18 at just after 5am EST, a bunch of tweets from TSN got blasted out...most of it old content. Not sure if that was intentional or related to this issue as it seemed to occur during the same time frame. Perhaps the fix caused it (?).
Just thought I'd mention it in case you guys didn't know and this mattered. I know...I'm late to the party (as always)
