Yes. Since it could be hard for a review mod to determine if the review was abusive or not, reviews in a foreign language are now against the rules.
Do the writers of abusive reviews ever receive any sorts of punishments?
Aside from losing the reviews, if they've made enough abusive reviews recently, or have made a particularly abusive recent review, they could be banned from reviewing for a set period of time.
If a review contains spoilers, strategies, or walkthroughs, does that make it abusive?
If they don't bother to review the submission even with a simple line such as 'I liked it', then technically, yes. But I'd advise against flagging them if they're not abusive for any other reason.
