I don't see how an opinion is any less valid because someone isn't active on the site. So you think Amazon reviews should only include those that have bought something from Amazon in the last 6 months, and if not the review should be purged? Heck, just look at Out For Blood who actually is deceased. His contributions to the community were immeasurable and his opinions SHOULD be immortalized. And if that's so, why should anyone else's not be equally so. That said, you did bring up an interesting point. Dead opinions rather than "dead" people. Many do not update their reviews as often as they shift and change. I think it would be a fantastic feature if BGG prompted you to "confirm" your rating of each game once a year. I guarantee that there would be a LOT of shuffling of scores and rankings then. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BGG Down" group.
