Hello everyone,
After the previous discussions on the review guidelines, in atopic started by Andrew Dunn/Mechstra, part of the community drafted a proposal for adjusting the guidelines in a way we were relatively sure would be acceptable to the site management. I contacted Aro about it and a few more people discussed the changes, and now I am happy to inform everyone that our proposals (with two or three tiny wee adjustments) have been accepted! You can read them here.
Now, Aro realised that discussions went a little further than what is written in these new guidelines, and he suggested that we have an all-out discussion on the guidelines, which he asked me to kick off. This discussion is no holds barred (well, apart from those bits and pieces theRules tell us about, so keep it civil!) and so you can even discuss adopting a different number of categories etc.
The goal here is to create a set of guidelines the community wants (and can get a concensus on), so it is important that you speak out, even if you don't see the need for improvements, or if you only want a single sentence altered.
It is important to keep in mind the double purpose of reviews: informing downloaders what a scenario/campaign is about, and giving the designer a clue what bits of his project are good and what bits aren't.
All suggestions are welcome!
Oh, and as I understand it, the new policy regarding official reviewers is now in place, which means everyone with over 20 reviews can contact [AOKH]Official Reviewer Request>Aro and ask for a promotion!
