clicks, Amazon can then investigate the people that reported instead of punishing the reviewer who then has to constantly get their review reposted, Amazon can take it up with the people that reported falsely. I do not believe that the value of Amazon lies in the customer reviewing system. As someone else said most people who buy on Amazon do not review, and most of the reviews do not come from Amazon.
