It would be more helpful if there were other options than the "I'll drink to that" response on reviews. If there were maybe 4 choices, *disagree *agree *this is helpful *this is not helpful plus a *have tasted option that would be compulsory if ticking any of the 4 options  

If this could this be done it would provide extra feedback in a more general, across the board way & give the rums a ranking from more people who might not have the time to write a comprehensive review but do have an opinion on the rum.

Interesting idea, let me have a think about the pros/cons of additional buttons - especially negative buttons. I think Twitter did a test like that and pulled back from it, and Facebook has a variety of options.

My hesitation would be to bring negativity into the platform - what if a valid rating had a bunch of people 'gang up' with negative clicks, if I were the poster I'd almost feel like "mind your own business, this is my personal rating"

Oh O.K, I get your point there. Negativity is exactly what I dislike about other platforms. I'm naively assuming that it's adults on here and the 'not helpful' option would only be used if there was a rating like when a comment is 'tastes crap' rather than, 'tastes like old socks' for example. Or "I like this rum" or "I don't like it." I wouldn't want to see emojis as they're easily misconstrued. I would like to see the actual wording so it's clear & no reward or penalty via algorithms for volume of response. I don't understand why members would 'gang up' on a comment. Naive again likely. I really appreciate your response Andy, thank you:)
