: However, when somebody makes major changes to a file, then the old reviews are worthless. There is absolutely no reason at all to keep them up, even if the person spent 5 days straight writing the review. The review is like a parasite that clings to the file; if the file goes under a complete metamorphosis, then that parasite sucker is gonna die.
: I don't take they're worthless.. It's fun to look at them to see what was the dmod like beofre, etc, and what harm do they cause in the download section anyway, when you see that the review is made of ver.05, and the current version is 6.00?
Some files go under major revisions. I mean, say someone reviews your understanding of advanced calculus each year from the time you're 4 to 20 years of age. Now, those earlier reviews are worthless, and shouldn't be right next to your current ones, right?
Also, they do hurt the file, as most people aren't going to pay attention to the little version thing, and are going to go by the Average Review Score, which would be lowered by reviews of the file before it was improved upon.
On a side note, the reviews for files that are no longer downloadable (i.e. the (N/A) files in the Neglected category) will no longer count towards the points totals in the near future.
