Personally I'm for them, when searching new towns I find them a useful (if not gospel) aid, I know some are not so keen, but how is it that Sweeney's Bar (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/80631/) is rated at 9/10 when the only review on the page from Al Bundy is unrated? Maybe it's from a former deleted review , but surely if a review disappears so does the associated rating?

There appears to have been a Callum Jordan review, but all his reviews seem to have been deleted.

Looks like it, but it appears his rating is still counted (which is odd, so perhaps Dave can clarify)?

He had a lot of reviews, I wonder what the problem was?

His "reviews" were simply a full stop and a rating.

A pillock then, his ratings need to be removed as well if possible.

Perhaps he has come across from BITE, where it was possible to leave a rating without a review. Obviously common sense would dictate that as PUG makes you leave a text review with your rating one should at least make an attempt at entering some semi-meaningful text - but of course common sense is not a flower that grows in everybody's garden. It may well be that the ratings were well intended, but I would agree with the general principle that if a review (or non-review) warrants deletion then so should its corresponding score.
