Given the number of Facebook apps in existence, allowing for reviews of them seemed like a good way of tracking which ones worked. Fake reviews have become an issue, though, and Facebook's attempts to address the problem haven't been too effective.
In a post published yesterday on both the Facebook Developers Forum, Paul C. Jeffries reiterated a formal policy, writing, "[a]pplication developers cannot trade positive reviews or collude with others to post, incentivize, or otherwise 'game' the posting of negative or positive reviews. Applications should stand on their own merits based on user feedback, not insider quid pro quos."

Jeffries asked developers to report problems as they occur, and promised to delete fake accounts. Yet at least a few developers seem unimpressed, and are pushing for the company to go further.
