mars Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Maybe you think i repeat myself, but i'd like to keep Psynews spam & fights free. And I heard this thread was free of nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SOLO Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 kriss i would like to think people here, in the majority of the cases would be able to carry a debate about their comments on relatively friendly terms. By all means write your critical comments and reviews man, is not like you don't speak your mind up already 380937[/snapback] I can fill you in on how things were here some years ago and then I am sure you will understand why I think it's best to keep the reviews 100% clean. And I know Mars remember how it was too. Or? When we had the old system 2-3 years ago it was chaos. Insults against the artists personally and their music too and insults between "reviwer's" and lot's of name calling and very very little reviewing going on... And I do not think it's changed so much since then. It could very fast get that ugly again. As I said. The minute a "negative" review enter psynews then just wait. All hell will break loose and then you'll see what I am talking about... But maybe we should test it and see what happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAH Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 making a constructive criticism: i think all the praises/hate about the a reviews and the offtopic comments could be avoided if some sort of poll system could be implemented so that readers could vote to see if they found the review useful or not, just a vote... kind of like amazon... i guess As I said. The minute a "negative" review enter psynews then just wait. All hell will break loose and then you'll see what I am talking about... But maybe we should test it and see what happens? 380947[/snapback] you can negatively review something and you can do it objectively/subjectively, respectfully/disrespectfully, in a constructive manner or in a destructive manner... i guess is all how you write things...

Guest SOLO Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) making a constructive criticism: i think all the praises/hate about the a reviews and the offtopic comments could be avoided if some sort of poll system could be implemented so that readers could vote to see if they found the review useful or not... anonymous i guess.. who cares..., just a vote... kind of like amazon... i guess 380948[/snapback] And am I all wrong if that system would end up with all the "pro" people voting a "critical" review down? Let's say I decide to review some of the obvious popular releases here with a constructive yet critical review.. How long would it take before that review would be categorised as "unimportant"? Let me guess.. A few minutes? Sorry but when it come to reviews and taste there is a lot of elitism going on here and I would never trust people with such a system. edit: When I in previous posts above write "negative" review I mean a "critical and constructive" review of course. Just so there's no misunderstanding here. Edited November 13, 2005 by SOLO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SOLO Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 THATS actually a good idea. Make a poll with each review... 380956[/snapback] what happens when someone make a review that people do not agree with? They vote it out even though the review might be a very good review but just not agree with the majority. Am I the only one that see the problem here?

If you never have written a review... you don't know how it is to post a review and thinking what people think about your style...

They vote it out even though the review might be a very good review but just not agree with the majority. Am I the only one that see the problem here? 380961[/snapback] Well, on a second thought, it would only work if there was only one review inside the review. I am totally FOR commenting on how a review is written, but I dont like to see endless "good review" "great work". Im not a saint here, because I can probably find one or two reviews that I have commented on as well, with useless stuff. But that doesnt change my mind, that I actually find it annoying having to scroll through 2 pages to see the NEXT review.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the nicest things when you spend hours on a review and then some people actually bother to step up and tell you that they liked it or whatever.. 380964[/snapback] And what if someone tell you you did a bad review or tell you that they do not agree with what you write? Would that be ok too without you answering back all offended? See my point? Would that not just cause problems? If someone can say good things about reviews then people who disagree should also be allowed to say critical things about a review... And mark my words... Then there's trouble in Paradise... And I'll bet my old Hat that what you call "drama" would come from the "insulted" person who did the review. And to avoid such situations a simple rule like keeping reviews clean from comments is a very simple and safe-proof solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However imo such debates could be and are fruitfull and sort of add more to the reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
