What is the point of UnSpun?

UnSpun by Amazon: Frequently Asked Questions
Existing methods for community collaboration on the Web aren't good at developing consensus rankings. If you do a web search for "sexiest movies," you might find websites that have lists of "sexiest movies," but each will be the opinion of the individual who authored that website. Wikis (as prominently and beautifully exemplified by Wikipedia) are an excellent mechanism for community collaboration, but they don't support consensus rankings.

Why is it called UnSpun?

UnSpun by Amazon: Frequently Asked Questions
We liked the name because community consensus rankings aren't subject to "spin" (and it rhymes with itself). UnSpun provides a number of mechanisms to eliminate bad votes. The first is that people must first log in with a valid Amazon account before they can vote, submit new items, or create new lists. Each user can only vote one time per item so one user is not able to "stuff the ballot box" with votes.
