Simple and a good point
I just wish people could learn what AREN'T abusive reviews.I've had many that are marked unhelpful just because I didn't kiss up to a popular artist.Take IllWill for example.I've said things like "Try something new, Foamy is getting stale in my opinion."And the fanboys will go shithouse on me.
Is marking a review unhelpful the same as calling it abusive?
Not really. I don't pay much heed to helpful/useless markings. In a perfect world, good reviews that have constructive criticism would be marked helpful, and stupid pointless but non-abusive reviews would be marked useless.
However, what generally happens is that high scoring reviews will be marked helpful, and lower scoring ones will be marked useless, even though the low scoring one might be a better review.
Thanks for the review!
Helpful!
This is really helpful for people who want a deity and has some neat tricks (googling reviews is really neat). This is also precise and has some good examples, plus I like how it has a quiz and teaches you something as you play along (Learning about borderline abuse is great).
Graphically wise, I like how you added a background, but I still think it should improve, like changing the text to something more modern or something.
Thanks for the review, and I'm glad you found it to be helpful.
Thanks for making both of these flashes!
It helped me understand what an abusive review and what flashes should be flagged. Also, you gave me a place where i could go and post up something i think is abusive or find things other people think are abusive and get myself out of the hole i dug myself. Your really awesome for making this type of flash and helping us newbies understand how this site works.
I was glad to do it, in fact you are the type of user I aimed this at. I'm glad it gave you a better understanding of abuse and I hope you'll improve your whistle status soon enough.
Thanks for the review.
yea i need to get my diety by the end of this year or next year great guide
Solid Attempt that needs refining ...
First, going to judge the flash on appearance and going to be honest with this whole review.
The background and text clashed with each other. After a while, background stand out so much that hard to read the text and keep focus. Might want to focus on appearance in upcoming projects so the attention won't be taken away from the meaning, but at the same time, people will stay interested. Like having white text on a black background, yeah, everyone can read it, but so dull no one is going to read. On the same token, a flash background or bright background makes takes away from a text. Just felt like both were competeing for attention. And adding the flash textt for the quiz just felt like a brawl.
I would suggest choosing a mild, but intersting background that compliments the text.
Ok, for the actual content. I'll start with pre quiz. Nice content, very basic, and easy to understand. Just thats all it is. Basic, should go into more details about types of reviews. You didn't mention anything about chain reviews, links promoting outside sites, or just links in general.
As for the quiz (thx for the shout out ;P)
1. Question 6. I wouldn't use that as an example, basically that can be considered insulting the artists. So that is questionable, and the deragotory language is frowned upon most of the time.
2. Question 8. I think you worded it the wrong way. A point is a point, so one positive point is equal to one negative point. I think you ment to say, "A deleted review is gained less positive whistle points than a cleared review with negative whistle points. Same with flash entries.
Overall solid attempt, lacking finer details and visuals, however still good job. Pretty sure alot of new comers are going to find this helpful. Also, might want to poke around for alot more faqs on people's userpage. But ....
7/10 and 4/5
A review mod's review. The most important one of all.
Anyway, you made some excellent points there, and I guess the questions could have been better phrased.
In my desperation to liven up the background, I may have made it difficult to read, sorry about that.
Thanks for a great review (and you are welcome for the shout-out :P)
