Bug Description
Bug Description:
When there is no sign of a review I should be allowed to post a new one unless this is some sort of restrictive method to stop spammers.
Version:
OS:
64bit Maverick
Browser:
FF 3.6.15
Problem URL:
n/a
Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create a review
2. Mark as inappropriate
3. Goto <Review URL>/reviews/ Delete the review in moderation
4. Try and create a new review in the same application
Expected Result:
Once the moderated review is delete you should be able to create a new review
To post a comment you must log in.
The moderated review isn't really deleted - it is just hidden (there was a UI wording change which updated the button to Delete), and the above behaviour is (currently) by design, as otherwise:
1) As a spammer, I create a spam review
2) As a moderator, I moderate and hide the spam review
3) As a spammer, I can go in and re-create my spam review (or have my bot do it for me).
4) Repeat 2-3
But yes, if the current behaviour is "once you've reviewed an app in a distroseries once, you can no-longer add new reviews for that app in that distroseries, even if you previous one was hidden", then we should try to deal with this in the edit story when that's added.
