: : A new version of that d-mod was release (version 1.2) to be fair (since 99% of the d-mod was redone) we invalidated all the reviews.

: That's unfair, if I'm correct,(If not, do one) there's a line in the reviews that says who has reviewed it, when, how many points has he given AND which version has he reviewed. So why delete reviews? If that's because the points, you could always take the points away, uncount them etc. So why delete reviews! People see a lot of pain for them.. Ya, maybe not that much, but they spend time for them anyway.

Reviews are only deleted if a file is deleted, otherwise they're just invalidated, and you can see those in the Account section under 'Modify Your Reviews'

For normal 'point releases' (where not much has changed from version to version), reviews aren't invalidated. However, when somebody makes major changes to a file, then the old reviews are worthless. There is absolutely no reason at all to keep them up, even if the person spent 5 days straight writing the review. The review is like a parasite that clings to the file; if the file goes under a complete metamorphosis, then that parasite sucker is gonna die.
