The first SciRate flame war

Maybe it’s not a war, but it is at least a skirmish.
The first shot was fired by a pseudonymous user named gray, who apparently has never scited any papers before and just arrived to bash an author of this paper for using a recommendation engine to… cue the dramatic musicrecommend his own paper!
In an effort to stem this and future carnage, I’m taking to the quantum pontiff bully pulpit. This is probably better suited for the SciRate blog, but Dave didn’t give me the keys to that one.
Since it wasn’t obvious to everyone: SciRate is not a place for trolls to incite flame wars. Use the comments section of this post if you want to do that. (Kidding.) Comments on SciRate should have reasonable scientific merit, such as (at minimum) recommending a paper that was overlooked in the references, or (better) posting questions, clarifications, additional insights, etc. As an example, look at some of the excellent substantive comments left by prolific scirater Matt Hastings, or this discussion.
Nor is SciRate the place for insipid dull self-promotional comments and/or gibberish.
Now to make things fun, let’s have a debate in the comments section about the relative merits of introducing comment moderation on SciRate. Who is for it, who is against it, and what are the pros and cons? And who volunteers to do the moderating?
As for “gray” or any other troll out there: if you want to atone for your sins, my quantum confessional booth is always open.

Reviewing Ratio?

Since that last poll got more than three total responses, and I’m here refereeing a paper, here is another poll for your amusement:
