Yes.  I'm looking at a way for certain authorities to comment robustly on 
some alleged health websites, to protect consumers.

What is this 'ere Allegra (everything and it's dog (at least
those that can speak latin) is called Allegra)?

The topic as ahndled by Jakob Nielsen is "Reputation Management"

Allegra provided a set of traffic lights for your browser, and a set of 
voting buttons to match.
It also held a central database which for me would remark upon my being 
middle class, white, degree, living in SW England and maybe a few more bits 
and pieces and interests.

It then mangled the votes that users asked according to their profile, and 
preented lights to users according to that mangling.
"People like you thought this site {sucked|was OK|rather good actually}"
IIRC as you hovered over a link...
