Suggestion Box

Hi!

First, I think it is an interesting idea that might be hard to implement but I do think it could help filter out those chain reviews. I don't say that all the reviewers that post their reviews within a few minutes' intervals have not already prepared their indepth reviews before starting to send them out, but some of them do rely on their nice template to make their reviews seem more thought-out.

Then again, there are more than one way of doing a good review. Feedback does not have to be technical, at times, just telling the author what you have gotten as a message from the reading is enough to let the author know if he or she did succeed in making his or her intended message understood for those who write to share their emotions or their view on a subject without going all out to be technically perfect in view of publishing. Thus, at times, a few lines to say how you felt towards what you read is as good as a review picking up every typo, grammar or syntax error.

There are those who think that what they read needs to be read by others and sending the comment or review to the public page is a means to that end, not necessarily to say 'I want to be rewarded for writing a few lines'.

I, for one, will often do that so that what I could not do to help the author can have a chance of being given by another reviewer that counts on what he or she sees on the public page to spike their interest into checking that item out themselves.

Sub-categories of reviews could also be a good way of helping with reviews, so an author can check the kind of help he is needing. Some need technical help, some need total editing help if they have dislexia or other writing handicap, others might need help with conversations or descriptions or charactor building etc...

I am certain there are much more ways of looking at 'reviewing' and many other suggestions can be made but we also need to think of the time and work, technology and cost each suggestion can mean for the one who will need to make it work, The ScaryMaster

Just a few thoughts for all...
