My own form of Amazon punishment for allowing fake reviews is to send back their falsely reviewed crap on their own dime. If they want to save $$ they should clean up the review process.

What about things that break after a while, when you can’t anymore send it back ?

Reviews don't work well for those anyway since the product will have been discontinued by then and replaced with a slightly different one.
