Amazon Says No More To Anonymous Reviews
from the prove-yourself dept
This was mentioned earlier this week in the Wall Street Journal, but without a non-paid source to point to, we skipped over it. However, Amazon has apparently had enough of authors reviewing their own books on the site and has put in a new system that will require a credit card as proof of identification before you can add a new review to the site. Might be interesting to see what kind of impact this has on reviews... and sales.

all this is going to do is make it more "accepted" to "identify" by using a CC# which is common among porn sites and widely abused there aswell

Maybe they should clean up their marketplaces. I saw one guy boost his trusted rating by writing glowing reviews of himself. I can't believe how dumb some of the safeguards are.
