Can you choose users like for "news team" who will post good quality reviews?
If somebody will want to write review, they can submit it and member of "review team" must approve it before it will show up for everybody.

Some reviews are good, but they can be posted in episode dissusion instead in reviews.
Some are from trolls want get attention.

Maybe if there will be some control, people resigned from posting bad/troll reviews, because only member of "review team" will see it.

> quality reviews
That sounds like partiality to new and good reviewers. So I am against it. Any kind of choosing and handpicking always leads to fights and more issues.
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

That'll be difficult and time wasting. It also has bias included because someone may find something offensive when it actually isn't.

Here's another idea, add a 'Report review' button as well so you can report the review to the higher ups with a detailed explanation as to why it should be removed like "It's a troll". This helps make reviews go as smooth as they were before while also killing any chance of trolls making their move.

How about a 'hide' option for reviews when logged on? that way you can not spoil the show yourself by accident. Ofcourse you can also choose not to read them at all, but the tendecy is always there and you'll probably end up spoiling it for yourself

This sounds far too elitist. Everyone needs a chance to share their opinion, even if their opinion is shit. If we did this then any anime no one on the review team has seen wouldn't have any reviews even if other members of the community would be willing to write one, which would be sad. All anime deserve to be reviewed, not just the popular ones.

A better system would be to have "top reviewers" who could be selected in a similar way and they would have a small banner stating that MAL has chosen them as being a good reviewer, but their reviews would be treated just like anyone else's so if the community thinks their review was shit it won't be at the top just because they're part of the team.

I thought like everyone could post reviews, but before it will show for everyone,
memeber of "review team" could "approve" it, if review doesn't meet basic criteria isn't added.

Right now, everyone can report reviews and somebody still need to check it out before deleted.
Or maybe MAL team check out every review which shows up on page?

I think that would be too stressful on the teams' parts.

You're forgetting the fact that said people will have to go slog through all the reviews: the good, the bad and the ugly.

Nobody's gonna wanna have that task.

Only problem i have with reviews is that there is a lot of 2/12 episodes reviews. It will be nice if only people with finished anime could write a review,the rest will be a previews or something like that.
