Some misunderstood the "spur creativity or rein in the awful" bit so I thought to make that question a little clearer.
The question was posed not as a reviewer but as the reciever of the review, ie, the author/readers. The author will look at the good review of his dmod and feel gratified to have accomplished a well-done dmod. He will naturally not be hesitant if he wants to create another. He is, in effect, encouraged. The reader will see a review of a good dmod, download, play, and, if he has the ability, try his own hand at making one. This is what is meant by spur creativity. For the author who has a bad dmod, the review will certainly make him think of ways to improve his dmod or just give it up untill he has learned more about the craft. And the reader of the review will not waste their time with the game.
Now a lot of pro's and con's have already been stated on these idea's under other questions.
I just wanted to clear up that particular question.
