OK...now this doesn't apply to everyone, but I'm getting fed up with the amount of reviews just sitting dormant.

If you've written a review in the past, please, click on the "Edit Reviews" button and see what the Admins *COUGH*CN*COUGH* (excuse me) have to say about it.

I'm sick of looking at a list of 30 rejected reviews that are either missing screenshots or need minor editing to be accepted. If you don't plan on fixing the review, you can delete it...there is a button for that. There aren't many reviews in need of a total overhaul, but there are quite a few that are so close to being accepted that it's sickening to think they haven't been fixed yet.

There isn't a single review in the temporary list that hasn't been looked over at the time of this post. So if you've written a review and it's not in our public list, start editing damnit!! Pissed off!

P.S. I know there is sometimes a problem with screenshot uploading...if you have any problems, PM me...just ask RedMaverickZero, I'll fix it as soon as possible, but if I don't know it's broke, there ain't no way I'm gonna fix it Oookay...

Actually, I will clarify the whole deal with RedMaverick's game.
I wrote a review, and got the response to add more detail to it.

Needless to say, there is only one library I could go to that the comps let me submit reviews (for what reason I don't know). This library is 30 minutes from my house and I haven't had the chance to go there recently (until today), so that's the reason it lied dormat for a few weeks.

It's okay, now. The problem with me and RedMaverick's review has been solved.

Yeah that's me. My only problem is stupid images. I'll import some as soon as I get home (Saturday!)

Oookay... it keeps slipping my mind. But I know, as soon as I get screenshots, I'll think "This is a terrible review based loosely on a poor critical evaluation I coughed up in five minutes" and end up deleting it.

Alright, I'll make sure my rejected reviews box is empty tomorrow.

So, approximately how long does it take for you to look over reviews?

I just went through the batch of submitted reviews, and a lot of you seem to have the same problems.

First off, please go into detail. No one wants to read one sentence in each section. The point of reviewing a game is to actually review it, not just because it's fun. If one of your sections looks like "The X was pretty good. There were some problems, but it was OK", then don't count on getting accepted. Take a look at one of Shadowiii, or Uncommon's reviews for a better example of what your reviews should look like.

Also, for the love of God clean up your text. I can understand bad capitalization skills, bad grammer or bad spelling in your posts in the forum, but if you plan on submitting a review, please try to take it seriously. If that means writing each seection in Microsoft Word and then copy pasting it back to the review form, then so be it. Also, re-read the review to yourself OUT LOUD or have a friend read it, and see how it sounds. If there are any places that you catch yourself having to re-read to understand what it means, then you should probably do some work.

Basically, look at the reviews that have been accepted, and look at the review you just wrote. The areas of your own review that are subpar should become apparent to you just by looking.

Why is it that the internet can't seem to find any of the reviews? I can't read any of them, let alone edit my own... I am over here, at the smoking ruins of http://www.castleparadox.com/forum/index.php. Am I in the wrong place?

Please excuse my dumbassery.

Yes, you're in the wrong place LeRoy. Everything's right on the main index here, at the top of the forum.

I think I'll wait til the new site comes up. Gives me an excuse to not feel obligated to do anything, so I can finish my homework instead. What?!?!
