This is a third-party site. I don't see why User A (a MUD owner) can decide what topics User B (a MUD player) can write about. If you want the site to be appealing to players, you can't treat them as second-class citizens.

We've gotten a number of reviews that I'd find useful as a prospective player.

Part of this thread was about making the site more appealing to players (especially since players vastly outnumber owners), and if the administrative stance is that players are too dumb to write reviews, I think we may have located the source of that problem.


Like calling the written work of site users "garbage"? Or lumping them as "misanthropes" or "fanboys"?

Again, it's not hard to see why a player wouldn't use this site if that's a prevailing opinion.

And the people who are writing the reviews are giving the site traffic. Word of mouth sends this site traffic as well. A healthy forum community would send this site traffic.
