Another approach might be to let other folks rate by saying how helpful the review was rather than how good or bad it was. A review might be very well written, but completely off base, or might be poorly written, but exactly on target. Plus, by saying its more helpful/less helpful, it keeps folks from taking things personally.

Just a thought...
