All I could think the whole time I read this was:

What a MIRACLE it would be if I woke up one morning, opened my Android Developer Console and saw an option to disable comments on my apps. Permanently.

Interesting idea, that. I might be less likely to download an app from the app store if the author had disabled comments/ratings, but that seems like the kind of call that the app author should be allowed to make. I recall reading about someone who uploaded a test hello world app to the Android Market and started getting lots of reviews and ratings (both good and bad) from trolls and idiots.

Could they tie Android Market comments to Google+ identities? Would that fix anything?
