Yes. We've have moved towards this model as well. A lot of it has to do with listing the types of questions we want to ask and limiting the subjectivity of the possible review. Difficult to achieve, but if you make the review form multiple choice with carefully-chosen descriptors and adjectives, it tends to eliminate a lot of bullshit.
