This would eliminate any spam or scams completely saving users time, credit, money etc.

The problem that is there is what if your friends with a user and we don't know that? The review could write a review saying it's amazing and all then bang everyone gets scammed. That sort of thing would bounce back onto the Review team. The user could give us one method, it is reviewed and a success the Reviewer then approves the thread and the seller changes the content and starts selling a broken copy and again, bang scamming. It's kind of hard to justify since then that would be inline with the Forum Team being to blame for the scams. That then goes against our Martetplace Guidelines stating;
