After all, its all well and good to say 'No, not allowed, no way, never, final.' However perhaps just a small explanation as to the reasons for such a rule may ease the mind for a few of us. Like I said, I accept that the rules and would never request them to be changed, just am curious as to the reasons.

Subsim Review has a good working relationship with the game industry. In order to keep that good relationship some mutual support is required. On the industry's part this means that Neal gets some inside access, and is treated as a respected equal. On Neal's part it means that he doesn't allow anything that will harm the industry or the relationship.
This doesn't mean he can't or won't say things are good when actually they are bad (just read his SH5 review), and it doesn't mean he's in anybody's pocket. It just means that he has a good relationship and it's in everybody's interest to keep it that way.
That's just what I gather - I don't actually know anything.
