The review section of Ware Online was withdrawn to safeguard any member, including the Ware Online team, who had posted an item in the form of a complaint within a review. After Ware Online had received a complaint by a business mentioned in a review it became apparent that a possible libellous or defamatory action could be taken, if not then maybe in the future if it continued. To leave the review section as it was would have left Ware Online open to possible prosecution. The links below, I hope, will explain the laws of Libel, Defamation and Slander. Craig.
