This is a note for people who write REVIEWS...in the REVIEWS section of this website. Hopefully some of you will read this post and learn from it.

The Reviews section of the website is just for reviews. It is NOT for rebuttals on reviews, it isn't for discussion about issues, it isn't for discussion about ANYTHING.

I'm getting REALLY sick and tired of looking for reviews on various games only to find arguements of posts back and forth between people. The Review section is NOT a bulletin board forum, so stop treating it like one. THIS..what you're reading right now, is the bulletin board forum.

Now to offer some constructive suggestions...how to write a review.

Write about what you like about the game.
Write about what you don't like about the game.
Be as factual as you can, but do NOT copy and paste the game's official info. The game already has that on their own website, anyone interested can read it there.

No one cares that you have 6 races in a review. They go to the mudlisting to find out about that. Don't tell us about what we can already find out by reading the mudlisting. Tell us about your own PERSONAL experience playing the game. That's the whole point of a review, afterall.

And a heads-up to Synozeer...though it hasn't been needed much in the past (in my observation), it seems like it's time to enforce the Webmaster's prerogative on reviews, as mentioned when someone writes one. Flaming reviews are subject to Synozeer's approval, and MUST include a valid e-mail address or it will be rejected.

That is all.

Thank you.
