Reviews that shouldn't have been flagged

mhgatti's review of The Plot Against America by Philip Roth.

It seems to me that it must have been flagged by mistake.

The only other reason I could imagine is that the review is also cross-posted to that user's blog. I suppose someone might not have realized it's the same person and he's not ripping himself off. But it seems like a bit of a stretch.

Also a bit of a stretch to truly flag by mistake though. It's not a one-click operation after all.

Nothing there to suggest that it's on any blog, and certainly no violation of the TOS that I can see.

I should clarify. I googled part of the review to see it (despite appearances) it was lifted from anywhere, and I got a hit. After a little extra research I figured out that the blog the review appears on belongs to the LT user. What I was getting at was that there could be the incredibly tiny chance that someone read the blog, recognized the review, and yet didn't realize they were the same person. As I said, it's a stretch, and I wasn't implying that there was any TOS violation at all.

I just thought it was also a stretch to flag a review completely by accident when it has a confirmation page.

Oh, I agree! I do hope nobody has so much time on their hands that they're googling all the reviews. Maybe they should read a book instead . . .
