I think the idea is that reviews should give enough detail to support the rating and shouldn't be biased toward the author. I completely agree with Violet removing the rating on a review like "Because this is maybe Blades last release, and because blade is one of the best JJ2 tileset makers ever, i'll rate it, but i won't review."

However, the guidelines about reviews\ratings weren't in place when these levels were uploaded. Going back and editing them is almost destroying JJ2 history. It's definitely possible for people to have an opinion about a level without writing a detailed review - something that is not allowed now, but was at least somewhat allowed back then.

I also don't think Shadow should be putting ratings back after Violet edited them out. It would make more sense for the J2O admins to discuss this properly: someone complained, so they should review their policies and act accordingly.
