I actually love this idea. It might be a helpful antidote to the snarky one-off reviews of MUDs that have gotten so many MUD administrators in a tizzy here at TMS during the past couple of years.
Some of the particularly problematic people who like to post *deserve* to be reviewed in-kind. At least *they* get relative anonymity. The targets of their MUD reviews enjoy no such luxury.
If you're posting a review, you might think twice about how you present it, and whether you go all-out with the negative attack if it might be turned around on you like a feeding frenzy.
How it might work:
Reviews could include links to *Reviewer* reviews, or perhaps a prompt to write your own review of the Reviewer. You would get only ONE bite at the apple, one chance to say your piece - EVER - and the Reviewer wouldn't be allowed to respond in the same forum. You get both sides of the picture, and you limit both parties to their critique or rebuttal: And that's it.
This would allow MUD administrators, if they so choose, to share their side of the story, and allow the reader to decide where they stand.
