Before I get into the whoring subject I would like to say I’m not singling out one person, there are many people that do all the things listed below. I am not trying to offend anyone, even though I probably will, oh well. There are several others besides me (these people are whores and non-whores alike) who will appreciate this. NOTE: These reviews are of WC and do not necessarily represent the views of The Dink Network or any of the other staff members. (The lawyer made me do it)
As most of you know ever since we put the wonder point system up people have started seeing how they ranked and have been trying to do anything to get up higher on the list. We have been receiving a lot of crappy half done reviews that just reword all the other reviews. Why must people do this? Because, you never know where the 1 point for mini reviews or the 3 points for a full can come in handy. Hell, if DethLord can kick everyone’s butt by writing reviews maybe you can to (I have nothing against DethLord, he wrote plenty of great reviews when there were none and this has helped us out). This also brings me to my next point, yes, I can validate reviews, and yes, I do it very fairly. If you put some though in your review and gave a fairly fair score, it will be validated appropriately. But please, do not e-mail, instant message, ect.., me or any other member begging up to validate your review so you can quickly see you score. We validate several times a day, but we do have lives you know. Next, I have been hearing that once reviews have been validated and a author of the file doesn’t like the score given by the review, these authors have been e-mail the review either flaming them, or persuading them to change the score. This isn’t right, I would personally, if someone did that to me, I would rewrite the review and give them a lower score, but that isn’t right either. Aside of the reviews, there is really one other thing you can do to get points to raise your rank and that is authoring files. Now, you may say “I’ll just write a couple of easy files and get a better rank, yay me!”. Well, this is a bad thing. People see all these crappy files being released and they get pissed off because you are getting the same amount of points for files that they worked hard on; this is not fair. The next bad effect that this has is newbie come here to download and use these files. If they download your d-mod and it sucks crap, they might not feel like playing our great game anymore. If they download your crappy tutorial’s and try to make a d-mod with them, it may confuse them, or help them to make a crappy d-mod. Look at it this way, if you wanted to write a add-on game and you had to sort though a bunch of useless tutorial and help files to find a good one, would you be mad? I would. It’s coming down to the fact no one wants to help anyone of release quality files anymore, like the good old days. It gets worse. Us staff which you have to send your files to are having to crack down on the files so it’s going to be harder to get your files onto the Dink Network. That’s all, feel free to post comments but keep it inline. If someone posts their opinion, I only want it to be in a appropriate manner. If someone posts a opinion about you and you wish to respond, don’t do it hostilely and don’t get mad. Everyone is entitled to a opinion.
I wanted to post a log of the chat here, but good ol' Tal fricked up. everyone thank him for me.
In other news, as most of you know we have love in this community. Phoenix and Sharp are a couple, and they took some picture for us to look at. They are so cute that it almost shatters my hardened soul!
Well, enough ranting for the night, i'm going sorta nuts and redink1 has been getting on my nerves
Later people.
