We have been considering simplifying the review criteria, namely, the individual scores. Going through the different score dropdowns feels like a hassel and some of the criteria feels really dated. For example, we have a score for VIOLENCE... Why the hell do we have a score for violence?

It doesn't seem like anyone is really looking at the individual scores and they aren't being put to use elsewhere, so we're leaning towards just having the single OVERALL score. Instead of dealing with seven dropdown boxes, you can just write your review and pick a single number between 1 and 10 to represent your final opinion.

Thoughts?

Please keep the seperate scores, but please clarify what each means. Sometimes I have difficulty finding which collumn should be for what part of the flash.
The scores could be revised into:
Graphics- leave it as it is
Style- Originality?
Sound- general enough
Violence- unless you can find something more general than Violence =/
Interactivity- same as violence
Humor- 'tis fine
So basically; either have a little pop-up or something that notifies people of what each category means, (like "Overall is not necessarily an average") or just revise them to make the theme of each more obvious.
Without the seperate categories, I would have to decide which gets a higher score: A pwnage flash wit lots of shootin and killin (Madness Series), or an Excellent flash that should be on tv (Broken Saints)

Obviously;

I like Foamy, I enjoy his episodes (whenever they come).
I defend Foamy when he deserves defending. If someone is badmouthing illwillpress because he made a substandard flash, then I will defend him. If someone is cussing him because they don't LIKE his flash, then they are dumb-fucks that should hit a piniata.
If I do not like a flash, I say so as nicely as I can because the maker has put alot of effort in it (seriously, what the fuck would you know how long this took??) and I don't want to shit on his creative efforts.
If you like the flash; go ahead, comment and compliment the maker.
If you don't like the flash; then don't say anything. Better to have CONSTRUCTIVE criticism than hate-mail.
