I hate to break it to you, but "constructive criticism" does not mean "full agreement and/or coddling."

please stop replying to my thread.

First off I think anyone that rates AMV's badly because they didn't like the song for either the band, the song itself or any combination of the two; shoul be shot. No one gives a s*** about your taste in music. Obviously the creator of this music video didn't either. So what do you do? Rate it on how well the song fit with the video. That is being unbiased.

As for effects. I am very particular about effects and think any added effect should need at least a small opinion. I've seen smal effects messed up. So really any effect should get a rating. However that's up for you to decide.

Another problem is that people don't factor in possibilite and circumstances. For example I have a video up I made about five years ago with the first mass produced version of windows movie maker. I got it on Windows ME. I thought it was great. MY video wasn't that great and my source material was limited. These all need to be factored into a video. There are thing you have to think about when rating a video. Is it his first video? What source material was he able to use? How good is his movie editor?

DO NOT expect them to have what you have. Because no one is as rich as you or easily able to get the same software as you.

In short his opinion was crap and he should be shot for being that stupid.

Thanks for leaving your opinion. It's appreciated!! ^_^

No problem. Things like that tend to piss me off.

Or maybe there should be some penalty, (a suspension or removing the ability to enter opinions), for those users that would enter a review such as this one?

A word limit would just put people of OP'ing vids. 1 line ops are fine as long as they leave a small sentence in each box. Not everyone is capable of sharp, constructive critique on an amv. However I like the penalty sugestion. 2 week site/oping ability ban and prenament bans for repeate offenders would be a welcome policy.

What's the matter? Can't take the criticism you asked for?

It's not clear what kind of "help" you were asking for, for one thing. You merely explained the situation and asked what people thought of it. Are you saying you don't people to say anything unless it's what you want to hear? Because that's what it looks like. If that's the case, then don't post to a public forum.

I don't want people purposely try to derail the topic witch is basicly what you've done. And trying to convince others that is purely just winning about a bad review.. it's about getting reviews on elements in a video witch does not exist.
