: Sorry If I'm disapointing you by writing reviews... IN fact, I nearly got kicked of my comp for a few weeks by writing this review... it was time to get off my comp, but I HAD to keep going, and I sent it in.
Er? Did I say I was disappointed in your review? I really didn't mean to.. I liked it actually...
I am disappointed in the LACK OF QUALITY REVIEWS -- that comment had nothing to do with you at all -- If editors such as yourself would submit reviews.. that would be cool.
Its like this though (IMO):
We take all this time working together on this stuff. If I played Gonk's level with the intent of reviewing it (this is just an example, I haven't even played it) and it totally sucked, I would NOT feel comfortable posting on hyperview about it. Why? Well he's a regular visitor to my site, he helps out a LOT of people on a daily basis, and I don't want to risk losing him for the sake of a review.
I think others feel the same, we are all a great community here, and if we start bashing eachother (or eachother's levels), it will fall apart.
I think that the reviewers should NOT be the people who make the levels. I think they should be the people who play them. I dunno.. making levels, then reviewing levels.. thats a lot of work.
Oh well,
Brian
