Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
The review from Stevian for Kill the Hippies has been placed under Mini. But DethLord's review is a Full one. Now, take a look at this:

DethLord's review: 268 words

Stevian's review: 265 words

Hmm... 3 words

I validated Stevian's review, and it looked fairly small to me, so I placed it under Mini. I'll take another look at both reviews, though, and try to put them in the right places.

Thanks

I have given Stevian the benefit of the doubt by promoting his review to Full. WC assisted in this decision. Have a nice day.

There is a button to the left of your 'a' button that should say 'Caps Lock', and there should be a lamp above the numpad on your keyboard with the same text. If that lamp is lit, press the 'Caps Lock' button once to turn it off, and start typing. Thank you very much.

may i suggest that a word count is done on every reveiw, and if its over 256 words, it becomes a full reveiw?? shouldn't be too hard to do with a CGI script, esp. if the server is running li...oops.. sorry... (wc -l)

No, because that is stupid. People would fill reviews with even more fluff to reach 256 words. And a 200 word review might end up being a full review for a romp, whereas it would be a mini for an Epic.

I set the status on full or mini review on the content, not length. If it's 10,000 words, but the idiot goes into about how he has VD and such, it's not going to bee full
