Holien Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Rant Mode on... I am a bit peeved that people feel the need to clutter the scenario Depot by wading in against people who post un favourable reviews. Yes I have seen some reviews and can not believe the person sees it that way. One in fact made me so annoyed that I tried to get the persons attention here. Could those involved just let the designer answer the negative comments rather than having fans jump in and abuse the review system even further.

GJK Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Interesting timing... See the post that I just made under CMAK Imminent - can we fix the Scenario Depot Rating System Beforehand?. Keeping the banter within the discussions area would keep just the pure review results in the reviews area (in theory anyways). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runyan99 Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I agree that attacking reviewers is destructive to the Depot. No scenario is above criticism. All feedback is valid, if it is honest feedback. Take it for what it is worth. Those who expect the Scenario Depot to be a source of love and adulation are setting themselves up for disappointment. Holien, which review are you referring to? I'd like to read it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted January 12, 2004 Author Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hi Runyan99. I would rather not get into specifics but I have noticed twice now where someone jumps on a reviewer (perhaps legitimately) by posting a zero rated review. Just narks me off that someone other than the designer needs to jump in. By all means try and engage the person in debate by private e-mail or here on the forum but not by jumping at them in the review section.

Andreas Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I agree with Mark. If someone posts complete claptrap about one of my scenarios, I will be able to hold my own (now that I have found my security number again) and no other support (other than genuine reviews) is required or wanted. I don't think that it is productive to react to a review in the same way as if it was a post here, if you are not the designer - in which case you have the right, and the means to post a response. While that sort of behaviour is probably well-meant, it is a quick way to demean the depot, and it will make Keith's work all the harder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Keth Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Originally posted by Holien: I would rather not get into specifics... ...and yet, I would. Email me with the specific grievance and I'll take a look. Personal attacks, debates, and general nonsense is not permitted within the review system. Reviews or responses of this nature will be summarily deleted. Originally posted by Holien: Just narks me off that someone other than the designer needs to jump in. Me, too. Originally posted by Holien: By all means try and engage the person in debate by private e-mail or here on the forum but not by jumping at them in the review section. This is precisely the method that should be used. If anyone has a non-review message for a reviewer or author, then either: 1) Contact them and/or me via email. Contact them via this forum. III) Keep it to yourself. Absolutely, positively do not post non-review non-scenario related topics within the review system. Again, these type of postings will be deleted without so much as a "by your leave, you're deleted, mate!". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
