I'd point out that your complaint against the upfront fee clashes with the complaint against scams. The fee was implemented to try and dissuade fly by night assholes doing that.
Now what they ought to implement is a monetary floor for giving reviews.
Hence my suggestion, to have a spending floor for reviews. You can't even friend people without spending five or six bucks so why are you allowed to review anything?

While I'm certainly not happy with the existing paradigm, I'd say counting on literacy from the average person is doomed to failure.
