this might be possible, but would still take a while. I'll leave this
for somebody else to comment on it. :)

Very good question. Maybe it'd make sense to have some kind of regular
reports from the ratings&reviews database. Something like

 number of negative reviews in the last 24h  >
	critical percentage  * number of total comments

Is that what everybody had in mind during the conversation?

Thanks in advance.

Have a great day,
 Daniel
