review system, user no logged or guess

[Guest]

is there a review system, where the user can be a guess, or allow comments for people not logged.

 

Thanks

If you allow reviews by anyone other than a registered customer they will eventually get spammed by a wandering bot that searches the web 24/7/365 for just such vulnerabilities.

 

Don't even think about it.

 

Just like you don't ever want the "Tell a friend" feature to be anyone other than a registered customer.

 

If you do a bot will use your site as a "spam engine" and your host will shut you down.

I have seen sites that allow guests to do things like "Tell a friend" and "Write a review".

 

They use a "recaptcha" to minimize the risks presented by wandering spam-bots.

 

That's all fine and good, at least until the spam-bots get good enough to crack the recaptcha.

 

And I'm sure there are many coders around the world furiously working on just such code every day...

:'(

 

Personally I'd still reserve such activities to registered customers only.
