I know this thread may seem annoying to alot of people, but i need to vent my thoughts.

I've always found the annoying little so and so's who post nonsense reviews to be SO very frustrating.

But I just came across two games, Battlezone and Cannon Fodder. Two AWESOME retro games, both of which were so original and so cool. The reviews on these games were either "looks crappy","I want this game", and the one that really pissed me off?? "This game looks SO childish". Obviously you are a child if you've never played Cannon Fodder, this game was The shizzle, and still is. It's meant to have a novelty appearance, the thing is, the novelty of the game never wears off.

So I plead to the admins/owner, please please please, do something about these pathetic gidgets who continually write "reviews" just to get their kudos up.

I mean really, any kid who thinks the more kudos he has, the better he is, needs to be banned from this site so he can try to invest his childhood in something that will actually develop his brain into more than the ludicrous backward mush that it is right now.

Thank you, and I look forward to your feedback!!

Firstly, ALL of the "pathetic" reviews were posted as "comments", before the changing of the site.

I can asure you, NOT ONE review has been spam since the introduction of 'kudos', we - the admins - have put a lot of effort into making sure the reviews have strict rules, and guidelines. We too - hate seeing the dodgy reviews, it's a bad image for the site, and as you said, rather "pathetic".

As you might have noticed, there is currently in the vacinity of 95 pages of reviews on the site. For 4 active admins, that is impossible to delete, without the deleting the quality reviews as well. It is a very time consuming job, time we just don't have.

Us admins have discussed some alternative plans to get assistance in this sort of area, all of which have broken down for one reason or another. Be sure though we are active in our ways of attacking these things, maybe we can get something done over the school holidays - with some assisstance - in 3 weeks or so, until then i can't really promise anything.

If you PM me, or another one of the admins the links to the reviews you want specifically deleted, we are more than happy to get onto it ASAP.

Thankyou very much for YOUR feedback, muchly appreciated

No worries man..... and hey, don't think I was taking a stab at you guys, I know it's hard to keep under control, just as long as your'e all aware and are attempting to address it.

If you need a hand deleting "reviews" let me know....I like to read reviews, so i'm constantly perusing the games posts on this site, and would be happy to delete irrelevant reviews as I go. It's not fair to the games which are so awesome, and to a site which is so friendly, to have annoying posts like this wasting space and looking stupid.

Yep, too true ...

I'll/we'll look into it, see if we can get something organised, where certain people just get "review deleting powers" or something of the sort

As i said, if you're going along, just open up a PM to me in another tab, then just cut and paste the URL links in there, i'm sure i'll get around to it in no time at all,
thanks again!

Yes, another person that says oh the reviews are crap...

IAC has said it best... 4 active admins... 95 pages of reviews....

Maybe next time if you have any problems, especially when it comes to reviews.. how about you vent your spleen in the Administrators office instead of posting it in here. Please also be aware that we are all doing our best to manage this problem
