Why not have it so that only people who have submitted flash (that has passed judgement) can write reviews? I find a lot of negative reviews that are written for people are by users who have not done flash. I'm not saying they can't vote, just review.

Because that's the sort of retarded idea that is only ever brought up by crap flash artists who can't take criticism. It's like saying you should sack all movie critics because they've never directed.

Dude, criticism is necesary but only when advice is offered. Simply saying "That was crap" doesn't help anyone. Whereas if they said something like "The animation could be improved" offers help and advice. And dude, watch the language, not everyone's a chav on here.

If people just review saying "this is crap" then post a link to their reveiws in this thread and the reveiws will mostly likely get deleted and the user may get a review ban.

If the light is green, the trap is clean.
