I don't think it necessarily reflects poorly on the MUD being reviewed- for all we know, it could be some tard who got banned from there and knows that "dood" reviews are actually negative press. If the poster is from the MUD's staff..... well, yes, that's a red flag.
That being said, I'd love to see either:
1) Designated reviewers who occasionally check out a MUD in some detail.
2) Moderation of reviews, used only to weed out flames and spam. I think a moderator of this sort would need a very light touch- even incomplete or badly written reviews might give some useful information about a MUD.
