WHY would anyway report a 10 that wasn't saying anything mean, I mean really..

[akasquid]

Doesn't take a genius to work this one out;
Your review was spam, it contained nothing constructive, or even anything related to the Flash itself.

Put more effort into your reviews + Read the rules and you won't see this happen.

A one word review doesn't cut it, it doesn't matter is it's a 0 or a 10.

Indeed. Just ask yourself, why would you review the submission? Obviously not to leave the author a message saying 'Uhhhhh ok'!

Also, put yourself in the place of the author. What would an author think of a review saying only OK? Put more effort into your reviews, when you review flash/audio you're supposed to tell if you liked it or not and how to improve, if you think it can be improved. Most of your reviews are short one-liners.

you have almost 4,100 characters to write your review.

it's a space where you can offer an author some advice to help them get better at flash.

2 characters doesn't do anything for the author.

Remember that little check box that you need to check before you post your review? says you "agree that you've read the review guidelines and understand them"? By clicking it it means you actually read the review guidelines, and thus would know better than to leave a 2 letter review.

I know navigating the Help/FAQ is tough, so here's a link to the guidelines, brings you right to them too!

Wow I'm an idiot, just figured something out, sorry.

Yeah, people pointed this out already, but, when you write a review you always have to backup your score ranking with constructive criticism. The review box is there for a reason. It's to supply what you liked about that particular submission and also giving advice for the future at the same time. Isn't it nice to know that you have helped someone improve how they do something? Like if you helped someone in your class with a math question, don't you feel this sense of pride and accomplishment? It's the same with reviews, you have to write what's on your mind while keeping it under control. Heck, make a rough draft first and then edit it for stuff you think is unnecessary and then post a final draft of the review.

Good luck in the future.

as the others have said, one word reviews are spam.

stay in school and learn to write a proper review, using standard guild lines to follow.

a bias comment is not a review, unless you back it up. talk about the movie, there is lots of categories like style, animation, graphics to judge and to be included in the review.

we need to have these things or we don't know what we need to improve on and what the people would like to see in future movies.

OH NOE. Why would anyone wanna delete such a NICE, USEFUL review.

Dude, if you make reviews like the above your "signature style," you will be the most useless reviewer in the history of NG. If you don't understand that innately... there's not much we can do for you.

Pray tell what it was that you just figured out, sir? #;-}>

(let's hope it was "how to constructively/critically review flash rather than pointlessly spam up the review areas of the portal")
