Gosh, reminds me of a certain website I used to contribute to.  If you 
said something critical about a film that had already received a positive 
review (or, even better, a film that had won a spot in the top ten list 
that the critics voted on), the critical remark tended to be deleted or 
amended.  And God help you if you should ever criticize one of the reviews 
in any *other* forum (I'm thinking of one occasion where I vented in an 
online forum about a basically worshipful review of one of Michael Moore's 
films, and the editor gave me an earful afterwards for daring to say 
anything negative about one of his other contributors).
