TheStefan
12.28.10 | i don't like that. I don't feel like the number of reviews posted on this site necessarily translates into writing ability or the ability to judge others' reviews |
cvlts
12.28.10 | basically a good 90% of the site wouldnt have the ability to vote on a well-written or badly-written review. doesn't sound too good tbh. |
Jakeitwasaghost
12.28.10 | Nah. Just because someone only wrote 9 reviews, doesn't mean they don't know a good/bad one when they read it. |

12.28.10 | Pretty sure you're all missing the point that it would stop random troll negs |
FilthyBorgir
12.28.10 | People might start throwing shit reviews out then, especially if they're new. Like first couple of weeks new. Besides that thought I had, it's not a bad idea. |
Jakeitwasaghost
12.28.10 | It would also stop 90% of the pos'. |
Enotron
12.28.10 | No dev we get that, but it also sets unfair standards. Just because somebody isn't particularly talented at reviewing or doesn't care to display their work on the internet doesn't mean they can't determine what is good and bad. It's like saying that critics should put out albums before they review albums. |
Enotron
12.28.10 | it also assumes that the pos/neg system matters(most writers on the site don't take it seriously) |

12.28.10 | "People might start throwing shit reviews out then, especially if they're new"
Can be easily deleted, or a first review has to go through the mods anyway
"It would also stop 90% of the pos'."
Oh no! |
Romulus
12.28.10 | eh it's not a bad idea but the changes it would make wouldn't be worth the hassle in implementing it |
Deviant.
12.28.10 | "It's like saying that critics should put out albums before they review albums."
Yes and no. This might not be the best solution but it's a reasonable idea to combat the trolls
"it also assumes that the pos/neg system matters(most writers on the site don't take it seriously)'
Almost every second comment in the meds thread is "I have a random neg, delete" - you'd be surprised how many people take that shit seriously |
FilthyBorgir
12.28.10 | @Deviant If the first 5 reviews go through the mods, then maybe.... |

pos/neg are srs business |
FilthyBorgir
12.28.10 | What about people that have reviews regardless of how many, but with a 70% or higher approval. |
Enotron
12.28.10 | "This might not be the best solution but it's a reasonable idea to combat the trolls"
I suppose, but its all a matter of how much the mods value it i guess.

12.28.10 | First off, we need to remember, this is the internet. It does not make your dick any bigger if you have a higher review rate on a site on the internet. there are more important things to life. |

12.28.10 | First of all, I think someone should deserve to vote based on their approval rating. Because they take the time to write reviews and they're not some mindless troll trolling because they're bored in life. |

12.28.10 | It would stop the troll negs but it would also mean that the majority of the site couldn't vote |
Strider
12.28.10 | for staff and contributors, you need to have a portfolio of 3 reviews, I don't see why we should have at least 10 for something as subaltern as a pos.
The idea in itself is good, I just think that the number of reviews should be lowered. |
Strider
12.28.10 | What really matters imo is the criticism you get in the comments (provided they're helpful of course) |
FilthyBorgir
12.28.10 | 5 would be a better start than 10, Imo at least. |

Just answered your own question |
North0House
12.28.10 | Hahahaha, I'd be able to do that, since I have 10 reviews under my belt.
I think 10 is a little high though, cuz some people that've been on here for quite awhile don't have 10 reviews yet... Maybe 1 review would be good though, because it would prevent random account users from logging on and negging a review even if they haven't read it. |
qwe3
12.28.10 | its just a retarded idea. troll negs aren't that big of a deal to make some change that would render 90 percent of the userbase unable to pos or neg anyways. the site isn't actually overrun by troll negs you know dude.
and if it isn't just about the "real user" criterion it creates, why does having written >10 reviews make you any more of a critic? |
liledman
12.28.10 | there are still plenty of users with many reviews who arent particularly talented and have mediocre tastes in music, why reward them? |
tapitforever
12.28.10 | sputnik thought #2: you need at least 10 negs on any review you've written before you can pos anybody else's reviews and you need at least 4 pos on one of your reviews that already has at least 1 neg on it before you can neg anybody's reviews

Kimm
12.28.10 | I disagree with this, though I might be somewhat biased because I've only written one review.
The quality of user reviews definitely would go down, even though the mods approve the first one before it goes up.
Also, I think there a lot of people who are able to give a valid opinion as to whether or not something is well written, even if they themselves don't have writing skills.
You don't have to be a good writer to recognize/appreciate a good book, or a good poet to know good poetry. I see reviews the same way. |
DanteCuomo
12.28.10 | Too many reviews are shit anyway. It wouldn't be stopping much.
I'd rather have 18 out of 20 than 1 out of 2 |

^^^ This, and...
"I'd rather have 18 out of 20 than 1 out of 2"
^^^ This.
I don't think troll negging is such a huge deal that such drastic actions have to be taken. Most negs are explained in the comments, and it'd be a big loss to have such stringent requirements to be able to neg simply to cut down on the proportionately few negs that have no meaning, IMO.
That being said...shit, Sputnik, what the fuck did Lambda do to elicit such ire? It was just a thought he had--why the blitzkrieg? |
morte
12.28.10 | what this site needs is to review the chart system, like create 2 charts 1 for albums that have 100+ ratings and the other for unknown albums, and create a search box for lists. |
