And don't get me started on duplicate review threads! Hopefully, my indexes will reduce this a little but I ain't holding my breath. (It's a real shame duplicate review threads cannot be deleted or just merged with existing reviews - we need a good spring clean!)

I do believe that it's right to be patient and let someone express their opinion, as long as it's not for blatant self promotion which we've seen a fair share of.

Agreed.
Of late, the Mods have been removing useless posts. This might be a good idea with reviews.
There's certain conditions, however, which are grey areas:
1. Duplicate reviews
2. Reviews by the author/affilliate (I.e. unfair)
3. Reviews which have been poached from elsewhere
