Long story short... how do you keep user reviews (relatively) objective? And for that matter how do you deal with 'sponsored' reviews?
bah. That all aside, I'm getting excited about procooling getting the ball rolling again - and I think the reader worklogs are an excellent idea. Cheers.

Does the quality of the review really matter that much? If 9 out of 10 people are not satisfied with the product are you gonna want to buy it?
It doesnt always take a test bench resolution of .01c to tell if a product is quality or not.

These people bother me too.
I do agree that there is alot of people with a viewpoint on hardware that I do not understand but if they bought the hardware, tested it and formed an opinion then they should be able to input constructivley to the forums. Most of what you mentioned above I believe comes from people commenting on what they have read and heard instead of witnessed first hand, I like to think of it as the "flock of sheep" phenomenone.
that all goes for cooling and hardware, but especially hardware.
