++Any signed-in OpenVibe member reviews anything of the kinds Reviews lists, adding it first when it is not there yet. The kinds are employers, landlords, restaurants, local businesses, hosting providers, products, apps, games, vehicles, communities, platforms and more. A local kind needs where it is.

++A review has 1 to 5 stars, a title, 30 to 5,000 characters, and how the member knows it (a current or former employee or tenant, a customer…). There is one review per member per entity, which they can rewrite. A member can add 20 things and write 30 reviews a day.
