Critique Guidelines.

[Nogetsu]

Prowling through the forum you open the Critics and Ideas Sub. Greeting you are some new Ideas that have been presented by the community. You open one and read through its material. Whether you think it good or bad you feel the urge to post. Here are a few Guidelines, which can help you post something useful…

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

THEY are not Lofter/Jorb.

No matter what, an idea is just and idea. Just because its appeared on the Forum does not mean that it will in the game itself. Those that posted have thought of something they would like to see in the game but they have no power over it doing so. DO NOT panic if you do not like the idea at all…

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

YOU are not Lofter/Jorb.

Never will you as a player or member of this community, have any last say in anything entering the game. You do not need to attack an idea with such gusto just because you don’t like it. The Devs have the last say of what goes into the game, it is their child and creation…

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Avoid One worded replies.

“No. Just No.” Is not a valid Criticism or Reason for such and Idea to be published by that who did so. If you do not like it, give reasons for it. Give them clear and clean. There is no reason to call is shit, rubbish or full or Crap and other such profanities. A reason on why you feel that the idea should not be added to the game must be made clear to both the poster and the community…

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Avoid Burning the Poster.

You hate the idea, but that doesn’t give you the right to hate the poster. Some Ideas, have been thought through at the best of their ability. While they may have missed a point or two in their idea, does not mean you can call them names or act like we are all still in Kindergarten…

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Be clear with you opinions.

It is a good move to reply to an idea by looking at its holes and attempting to fill them in for the Original Poster’s advantage. By finding the holes in his idea both you and the OP can work on the idea itself to make it more viable for the Devs to look at it. Even then it does not mean that it will be part of the Game, but it does mean that the idea has had some time taken to it…

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Remember as a Critic you are only putting your thoughts across, you do not change anything, nor will anything good or bad come your way for doing so. Everyone has an Idea to bring to the table, be it written well or not. Don’t forget that even you once had an idea that you posted in the past, do not treat others in the way you were mistreated before…

And remember. If all you do is Critic and never post an Idea yourself, You will never know how difficult it is to work on an idea that will be accepted by the community to begin with…

They & You are proabbly good additions to Jackards post. Everything else is redundant.

[Jackard]

this all seems very familiar

some of it is also untrue... take the "no one-worded replies" for example. there are many threads that are so patently ridiculous that they deserve nothing more. likewise those that repeatedly post nonsensical suggestions deserve all the "burning" they receive

[Chakravanti]

He called you a kindergartner, Jackard.

[Jackard]

[Chakravanti]

While they may have missed a point or two in their idea, does not mean you can call them names or act like we are all still in Kindergarten…
