Comment (by paapst):

 Not so sure that this really is a Privacy issue. The big legal issue here
 seems to be Freedom of speech and/or the right to protect a good name
 versus the rights (and responsibilities) of the Site owner. I agree with
 @knutsp , we should not use Trac for those kind of discussions.   Yes, I
 do believe that there are rogue admins that will edit comments "on your
 behalf", changing a bad review into a positive one, however that kind of
 behaviour will still happen after we implement (some of) the suggestions
 done in this ticket.
