I absolutely hate reviewing sites without usernames and passwords for this very reason.
Make accessing your member's area easy for reviewers - I get really fucking annoyed when I'm asked to review a site for an affiliate program that isn't contactable, I mean why on Earth would you even promote that program in the beginning?
At the end of the day it's the affiliates fault. The reviewer is just trying to make a living from writing and I think it's totally reasonable for him to satisfy his employer by basing a review on TBP/Rabbits. I only EVER use these sites for my reviews IF I find a shady billing system or claims that the content is rotated (these things simply can't be explored in the 20 minutes I'm inside a site).
Other than that, I only ever copy something from these sites should I not have a username and password at hand. In these cases, I really find taking the content resolutions and numbers annoying - you simply can't trust them.
You can blame the reviewer, who will blame the affiliate employing him, who will blame the program he's supporting for not allowing him to have a username and password for the site so his reviewer can do a decent job. All in all, I think there needs to be a better system out there so us writers don't have to work on complete conjecture.
