removing product reviews

Is there a way to remove the ability to leave product reviews? I would like to disable this, but do not see how to do so in the User Guide or in the Admin area. Please help.

you can try to remove the "review" block from cshtml.

Go to the product details page (admin area) and uncheck "Allow customer reviews"

You can only enable/disable it for a single product, not for the whole website.
So go to the single product page and you'll find it right under the "Full description" field.
Admin Area -> Catalog -> Products -> Manage Products -> Edit

@Andrei:
I really would like to have to option to enable/disable it for the whole site,
that would give the shop administrator a better control for product reviews.

Indeed, why is this not a global option yet?

In the latest version of nopCommerce, you need to click the Basic/Advanced button and set the product details to Advanced to reveal the "Allow customer reviews" option.  

I believe you can disallow all products from being reviewed from the database, by running the following SQL on the product table:

UPDATE [Product]
SET [AllowCustomerReviews] = 0

You'd of course only want to do that after setting up all of your products.  

Perhaps one of the more experienced developers here can suggest a way to uncheck the "Allow customer reviews" checkbox by default when creating new products.

Thank you for the reply!

There are workarounds, yeah, but still no actual global option to disable reviews in all products.
This should probably be a Store option.

To set the default of not allowing customer review of newly created product, look into source at Nop.Admin/Controllers/ProductColler.cs/PrepareProductModel()/Changed model.AllowCustomerReviews = true; to model.AllowCustomerReviews = false;

You can also set other fields to your preferred defaults.
