Then.. write your review. Ideally.. pre-write your review in WORD or another word Processor.. so you can take the time necessary to review, edit, grammar and spell check your review before posting. When it is ready, simply copy and paste your review from that program into your post window.

Minimum requirements for writing a review.. that is tough.. but nothing less than a 1000 words.. I'll adjust it is necesary. 3 Paragraphs minimum.. hopefully more.. as we want the reviews to be well thought out.. and hopefully.. well written as well.

This forum is based on the submission/review method of moderating. The plan is.. you write your review.. post it to this forum, then wait and see if a moderator/editor allows the post or not.

We will accept multiple review from different members for the same TITLE.. as long as both are well written and thought out. We don't have a problem with opposing reiview.. and long as you don't write a review to be antagonistic/to attack a previous reviewer.

Currently.. we will allow replies to a review in the same thread.. but.. like noted above this isn't meant to be a war zone.. just a place to post a review. Moderators will determine what, if any, replies get posted.

Do not be upset.. if your review doesn't eventually end up posted. Not all will. All ADMIN/HEAD MODERATORS will have access to the reviews. I'll be acting as head EDITOR.

Swearing, cursing etc isn't necessary or needed in a review.. so plz, don't post them. (Editor may make minor edits accordingly)

Post a review with "it suxors" etc.. and it won't be posted. Be smart.. don't waste your time, or that of the readers.

At the moment.. we won't be accepting uploads for pics.. so.. just like every other forum.. if you want to post pics, then you'll need to host them, or find hosts for them, and post them using the IMG tags during posting. Please don't ask questions in this forum on where or how to post pics.

Rules that apply to other forums apply here as well.

Last but not least SCORE. I hate these.. but.. if you feel the need.. use a /10 scale. I find them pretty useless.. as I tend to see alot of 9/10 scores.. but during the review I see plenty of bugs/issues. Use a SCORE if you want.
