Ugh.
Jan 12 2009, 9:01 AM EST
First of all, the idea of author reviewing is GREAT. This gives authors constructive feedback on their tracks and helps them figure out what they can do better in their tracks.But do we really need to classify authors as Legendary authors and just normal, boring authors who no one gives a crap about? Not that I disagree with that authors like Moose_Man and Milkshakeweedwacker are good, but I think giving their reviews an own site just becouse the creator of this page likes their tracks is too much. This is like treating the better authors as gods and just automatically letting everyone that these four guys are the authors you should know about, the others aren't that great (again, I agree that these authors might be the best on the site, but at least let people figure that out and make their opinions by themselves). Boy, this site actually reminds me of the Soviet Union. Some of these reviews don't classify as reviews to me, but more like the Moderators of FRT.com praising each other. For now on, make decent, honest reviews without any additional and unrelated ass-sucking. Herska's awesomeness rating: 0/200. No offense to anyone personally. Peace out. Do you find this valuable?

Yo odio tu....(the only thing I actually know from spanish that is easy to learn)J/k :P actually you do make a great point here, and I would have to agree, it would be much better if the people found who was good, but I don't really see were I am being praised, and I was the only mod up there (Idk how). So the praising I don't really want to talk about but the other three we not mods and moose_man doesn't come on much and lolz666 doesn't even have an account here, so really only one active mod is up there right now. So the last comment only refers to me, right? and as far as I know the few reviews that I did was honest, I do like moose_man's work and he deserves the extremely high score as lolz666 does. So does moyyom, he deserves props for his great drawings of animals and people design that doesn't suck (like my stick people in some of my tracks). I don't treat anyone here as a god, but there are many other authors that people need to know about as well, and I think on that level we need more "legendary authors". But glad you expressed yourself :P and you have many good points. Do you find this valuable? |

Holy CRAP! I think I was pissed about something at that time :DBut still, saying it calmer: Not the scores annoyed me, but the way they are presentated. No offense, it's okay to overcompliment a bit in the text part of the review but you've got to admit "Milkshake's awesomeness rating 1000/200" is a little too much for anyone. It just makes like the review look more like a personal compliment than a reasonable review. And now that this organization is rising again and now that I'm part of it, I want to make clear that I don't want the future reviews be like this, and be just reasonable comments and scores about the characteristics of the author/track. We should replace "awesomeness rating" with "overall". This way the reviews look more correct. But then I've got to apologize for the first comment of mine. I think it's okay to have a page for special reviews, although this should be renamed to "Recommended authors' reviews." Legendary is a little too much. Do you find this valuable? |

It just makes like the review look more like a personal compliment than a reasonable review.Omg! I found the problem (I think) , you were going off about at the bottom where we gave the awesomeness rating away, we accidentally put our names in front, but I think we did it that way to say that that is OUR score. But that did cause confusion, or in my eyes if probably started this. And yes, some of the text is like that, but I know I can't help but to feel that way about Moose_man and lolz666. And yes, we probably should change it to "Recommended Author's Reviews" but if we do that we would have to review every author that is recommended, which would be so bad really. And I will also tone down the rating then, it would help out. @Herska: I don't hate you :P didn't you see the "J/k :P" @Wolfram: You might be right, but my Spanish teacher told me that is how to say "I hate you" in Spanish. If I translate "Yo te odio" I would just have to like "I tea hate" I learned that way. And I know NOTHING about Italian, I am just going for Spanish right now. Do you find this valuable? |

*Head Explodes*This is the kind of moment I wish I could speak perfect english... And btw I didn't know what J/k means, but now I got ya. Have you seen the new Author and Rider pages? I made a few review templates there to demonstrate what would I like the reviews to look like, and I think that demonstrates my point. Do you find this valuable? |
