Opinions, who's still writing them?

This forum is for the general discussion of Anime Music Videos.

Post subjects are a waste of time

A thumbs up / down system would be so much worse. At least with ratings you get some sort of range, even if it tends to be grossly skewed. With such a clear cut method as that, however, you're just setting up another method that will be skewed even more. Sure I'm much more based on the feedback than the scores, and sure I wouldn't mind on many counts on the removal of scores all together, but the current 1-10 system is far better than a silly 'good/bad' system.

I don't really think a good/bad system would work either.

The only reason I mentioned only including feedback because I thought it might deter some of the people who only leave 10's and comments like "This video Rocks!" or something. It would force them to either no leave those comments or actually write something out

I still type up opinions, at least one a day, two on average, three being my max. But I'm slowing down my reviewing since it seems I'm talking to a ton of WALLS.

My "opinion" now is, if the vid creator doesn't comment on my first Opinion, I'm not writing out opinions on your other videos. Why? I don't know if my message is being read therefore I would rather not spend half an hour writing down my thoughts.

For me, a "Read it" or "thanks" is quite good enough for opnion feedback.

I immediatly (Well, not immeditaly, but whenever I get to reading my profile) leave comments on opinions people have given on my vids. Although, I have one opinion on my one vid, but over 180 downloads..strange, isn't it? Lots of people download videos, but then never leave opinions.

So many people just don't feel that they need to take the time to write an opinion, when there are other people doing it. The common: Why should I do it, if someone else is going to do it anyways. Also, there are a lot of people who write opinions, but don't say anything usefull at all. Things like:
Good
-Everything.

Bad
-Nothing.

General
-Loved it.

I sincerely don't think that this is helping anybody.

You think having over 180 d/l's without a opinion is bad , I got one that has over 1000 d/l's and just got it's first comment only a bout a week ago. :shock:
It's all in the eye of the beholder...nahhh, it's all in the eyes of the creator.

I'm doing opinions!! I'm even going to try something in the Opinion exchange forum where I post a monthly thread for opinions and exchanges. I seem to have had a good response for it as well. I'm even giving new creators a chance like some of us never had when we were starting up. But someone has to do it right!? ^_^

Yes, I agree it's not useful feedback in terms of learning from it, but at least someone took the time to leave something (and it states that they really loved it – better that then nothing at all). That why I just as much enjoy a few sentences of feedback via e-mail just as well since quite a few (including myself) just don't like to write a lot. I do however do like to give reviews and feedback but it just more easier verbally or in a short summary rather than having to write lots of sentences.
