		kaybe on March 13, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Fake Amazon Tech Book Reviews Are Hurting My Book How about leaving a 1-star review yourself to explain the spamming? Anyone considering to buy the book will not just look at the rating but also see what complaints people have (at least I do, to see if they mention something I would have a problem with). I haven't really thought this through, so I'm open for arguments here.

That's actually a good idea, because you can vote on reviews on Amazon and it might become the 'most helpful negative review.'
