LiW is asking, at what point is it okay for someone to give an honest opinion in the restaurant forum? When someone has a very low post count and posts a bad review of a restaurant, it seems like his opinion isn't taken seriously because he hasn't earned any credibility among longtime posters.

"Never" is a pretty safe answer.

You can give an honest medium review any time. Strongly positive or negative honest reviews will require the submitter to undergo a background check and file a notarized copy of their review.

In some cases it also depends on the restaurant being discussed. Less-than-stellar reviews of the Lobster Pound will raise few eyebrows. Negative reviews of the Lyon's Den may cause the submitter to be heckled. Pop's Clam Shack should get positive reviews on even numbered days only. Glowing reviews of Tamarack will be replied to asking the submitter if this is a *recent* review, or a recount of their youth. Any mention, good or bad, or Weirs The Beef is done solely at the reviewers own risk.

I realize that it wasn't the answer he was expecting but I decided to have some fun. It is interesting info. I got it from the Webmaster who was answering McDude's question of when does he get to be a senior member. McDude.....certainly in the top ten of posters on this forum hadn't gotten 50 post under his belt yet.

And... good stuff brk-lnt. Definitely in the spirit of things.
