Why are certain people allowed on this website?

OK, I admit, I'm not usually a fan of blogs, but I felt I needed to express my feelings on a certain subject. I believe people's reviews should be checked before being put on the site. While I'm all for allowing any one to express their opinions on their favorite/ least favorite television programs, certain people are a disgrace to the art of reviewing...

The "Your review must be 100 words long" policy was created to ensure those reviewing shows knew enough about the show to properly judge it. Some users, however, have found "clever" ways to get around the policy in several ways:

Generic Bad Review 1- "I i i iii ii iii ii i ii ii i iii ii i i i i iii ii i i i i i i iii ii i i i i i i i i i iii ii i i i i i iii ii iii iiii i ii i ii love love love love love love love this show!"

Generic Bad Review 2- "I hate this show . It is really bad. It just sucks. I want it to end. I really really think it's bad. Why do people like it? I think it's bad and really stupid. It's not good at all."

These reviews take space of where well written reviews should be highlighted. So, overall, people need to find reasons why they think a show is good or bad, or not write a review at all.
