a lot of ppl put bad reviews for exclusives, like halo3 or kz2. gs should have a system where u cant review other exclusives if ur a fanboy. they ruin everythin in gs

That implies that there is a surefire way of telling fanboys from intelligent people.

And how do you plan on doing that? Don't get me wrong though, I'm all for it.

And how would that work/

Would it be something like, you must submit proof that you've played the game, such as a gamertag?

GameSpot would be better off if it simply placed restrictions on new users.

Make it so they have to achieve a certain requirement before they can create threads, vote in polls, rate games etc.

I haven't seen anything in place to prevent someone from making a troll account, going straight to System Wars and posting flame bait threads right off the bat.

Who's going to put the time and effort into trying to figure out who is a fanboy and who isn't?

That no, but I do know they have level restrictions for reviews.

Although that's practically useless. Like fanboys will stop being fanboys once they reach a certain level.

Well it stops the impatient people at least.
