I think there should be an option that we could enable that if we allow guest reviews, we can also enable an option to have guest reviews not be counted towards the user reviews average.

That way, we can have lazy users still review without registering but it also gives them an incentive to register since registered users' reviews are counted and guests are not. I find that allowing guest reviews gives no reason for people to register... so I find myself disabling guest reviews... but I still want people to contribute. It's like a catch 22.

This way, it gives people a little more of an incentive to register. And sometimes, guest reviews are really innaccurate or of lacking quality unlike a registered member, so it's no use to have their reviews counted into the average for certain sites...
