Let me know what you want fixed and I can take care of it. More user editing coming in the pipeline, so you'll soon be able to do this on your own.

No point in adjusting entries manually for now, since it's a systemic problem; I can handle it (and entries like it) once the tools are in place.

The main question is what form user editing will take... Wiki-style editing seems unnecessarily complex for simple 500 char entries. Maybe urbandictionary-style upvoting of definitions, though not enabled until there's at least 2 so no bias towards #1?

Was mostly thinking if you wanted to add additional tags, images, urls, etc... to a result. We wouldn't let users edit each other's comments or recommendations themselves.
Ideally, if you know about the game and write a better recommendation, then that will attract followers to you and give you more clout on the site. Also, the newest recommendations appear first on result pages.

That brings up a related problem: 'Clout' and followers are interesting for 'social sharing', but they're useless for Hunch's main purpose: A highly searchable directory of consumable things.

If I gain all my clout in tech, and write a 'lollol Van Gogh sux' review of a van gogh painting, I'll be the highest-clouted author and the best description won't be what people see when they search Van Gogh

If other peoples' recommendations are sacrosanct, what entries really need is a 'description' space, separate from the 'recommendation' space, that follows its own rules.
