That thread that hybridofsound made

br3ad_man · 04-28-2005, 04:10 AM

Remember that one? The one explaining how to make a review? Well, that or something like it needs to be put on sputnik. There are way too many dodgy reviews coming up and it needs to be made compulsory (somehow) for new people to know how to write a review.

Either that or the site needs more mods to help clean it up a bit. Prevention is better than a cure though.

I'll second that, I only ever did two reviews but Hybrid's guide really did help.

Regarding that point:

It has been integrated into the submission form, but if the n00bs don't bother to read, what can you do? It's the same as with sticky threads in the Pit for example. Med57 and I are technically mods for Sputnik, but it does not quite work as it should, so we are unable to do something at the moment.

But I'm already keeping a to-do list, so when it finally works to mod for us, prepare for some major clean up.

o yeah ,looking forward to that

a nice well organized and clean review site

Maybe in order to register to Sputnik, there should be a mandatory quiz on review writing with something before it to read with all the answers. If you don't pass you don't join. It's a shame I think that would be necessary but some people are complete idiots.

Your registration here is the same for sputnik, you don't have to register for it specifically so that doesn't really work, if there was something for the first time someone tried to submit a review then sure.

hmmm. Maybe more mods is the only solution. But the thread still needs to be more visible. And there should be a warning that you get a short ban if you submit a sub standard review or something.

Hm... interesting idea... But I don' think that the sputnik-mods will get such powers (banning = supermods, if I'm not mistaking), as we would have 'too much power' in the forums. All of them

Brain Toad · 04-29-2005, 09:53 AM

Locals can be given banning powers, don't know if that counts for a site specific mod though.

br3ad_man · 04-29-2005, 05:40 PM

Do you think it would work if they were able to ban though?

***superpeer*** · 04-29-2005, 05:48 PM

Genres need to be added or I'm not going back there.
