That's not off-topic. Around the world, ISPs and stores are pushing for or requiring real names when sending emails or when posting reviews of Apps and products. Too many reviews with 5 stars are fake. It looks obvious when an App in Apple's App Store has a 5-star review and it's the only review. But often it's difficult to recognize shills. In the fall, Google began requiring people who want to post their reviews of restaurants or other businesses to use their Google+ profiles to do so. The same rule applies for reviews of physical goods or mobile apps obtained through Google.
