Is that a problem though? If they've got lots of "likes" for their review,
then they'll only delete it if they think the modification is worthwhile?

Do you mean to not allow deletion after a certain time? I don't see why
(yet) :)

What is the problem with always allowing deleting of own review (you lose
all your "likes", hrm, or conversely, your "dislikes"). If we really wanted
to, we could add logic such as: if a person submits a review for an app for
which they've already got a non-useful deleted review, flag it as moderated
automatically? Just a thought.
