What about granting the ability to turn on and off the review mechanism
completely? Personally, though I’m gratified by praise for my MOCs, I really
could get along without the whole thing. People can still send feedback to a
contact addy if one leaves one. That’s true feedback IMO. Rude comments (that
are publicly displayed) are mostly for the amusement of the poster anyway.
Since there are always going to be jerks in the world, this type of system will
always be abused and exploited.
Besides, don’t you have better things to do with your time than to moderate (if
even to a small degree) idiots who don’t have anything nice to say? I’m
guessing “yes”:-)

I like that idea-- it's always been an annoying bug in my mind that people will
abuse the voting/reviewing right by simply cleaning out their cookies and
voting/reviewing multiple times; hence boosting their favorite MOCs and (more
devastating) trashing those they don't like (often probably for personal
reasons).
As John suggested, allowing people to turn that off might be a nice feature for
people who are just looking to show off their MOC's.
Another possible soltuion might be to have "trusted votes/reviews" and "public
votes/reviews"-- so if you're logged in, your votes get counted towards the
"trusted" score rather than the "public" score. It might also cut down on your
moderation, since trusted reviews could conceivably require less scrutiny on
your part.
Another benefit of that is saving results. I've voted for a few MOC's (in fact I
remember in the earlier days of MOCPages when I noticed that only a few MOC's
had any votes I went through like 50 in a day)-- however since I travel from
computer to computer, and periodically lose cookies or switch browsers, all my
votes are lost as being 'mine'. It's always nice to see "MOC's you've rated 5/5"
or something like that, but without tying votes/reviews back to loginid's
(rather than just cookies), they're as temporal as my cookie file :(
And of course there's always the idea of outsourcing your moderation too, to
trusted people in the community. If nothing else, it might help cut down on your
review workload :)
