game reviews section

I'd rather have a completely free system where anyone can post any review at any time. However, checks to keep grammar issues under control would be important.

Rather than anything strict and bureaucratic we should simply establish guidelines that your review should adhere to in order to receive any recognition as an actual review (as opposed to simply posting about the game).

A loose minimum length for the review, a standard for spelling and grammar (minor mistakes would be moderated, numerous glaring errors could get the review deleted (or at least not officially recognized), and minor mistakes that occur frequently enough may warrant a similar kind of punishment).

Since actually deleting the review based on quality would be harsh and unfair, a review forum should be established. Then any review not meeting the standards set would be moved from the review section to the game's section.

I like the idea of Proof-reading mods. It would stop Creep from going

If people took the extra three to five seconds to proofread their posts before submitting them, I'd be so happy... it would be like a year round birthday present.

haha. Taking an extra two seconds even would help your emotions much better than ever.

Anyways, I wouldn't mind being a special mod for these sections. I personally think my grammar is alright and my posts are good enough for Creep's Standards. (Does that sound right, Creep's Standards?)

Posts like this are not up to my standards... not even close.

This could be a great idea and a way to attract more attention to the site. Only if it's done properly though. I say roll with it and see what happens.

You'd have to find an active, well respected and well educated (as far as gaming and grammar go) person to be a game review mod. That shouldn't be too hard too find around here .

This sounds like you're talking about me...

Only problem is, I don't have much time to start typing out game reviews. I try posting "informal" game reviews (in corresponding sections) once I play a game or demo... that allows others to respond to my thoughts and opinions with their thoughts and opinions on the same game.

Decent grammar is important. But its not like were going to nitpick at everything. (atleast not most of us)

The more it sounds like a task, the better chance it will not be implemented.
