Probably our biggest challenge. We'll have a lot of tools and auto-filtering built in to prevent this as best we can. IP/cookie tracking is a must (ability to ban/suspend IP), but not difficult to bypass. Credibility will be the key and every user's feedback (review, comment, replies, etc) will be archived and exposed at all times. "Guest" feedack will have a lower "weight" toward the overall score, and we'll reject guest reviews if they don't appear geniune (guests won't be able to make quick ratings). "Registered Users" will have a user "rank", so a user with a higher rank will appear to have higher credibility.
The key will be to import enough users from TheBestPorn.com where fake reviews will be overshadowed by the genuine ones. Users will have more than enough information to judge for themself. Reviews past 1 year will be considered out of date and will be archived (to view, but won't count toward the score). In addition, our TBP review score will be displayed and easily accessed for surfers that want an honest unbaised review from us.
