Downloads Downloads Everywhere and Not an Opinion to be Read

Post by BishounenStalker » Sun Nov 24, 2002 4:25 am

It seems people have gotten horribly lazy when it comes to giving opinions on AMVs. If you're going to bother spending the time to download, then at least be courteous enough to give feedback, for good or ill. Even to tell the creator it sucked. One major reason we spend the frustration, sleepless nights, and ripped-out hair making these videos is for them to be seen by other people, and for said people to tell us what they think.

Perhaps that's why so many new crappy videos are being made. Nobody gives a damn enough to tell the creator that that particular video sucked, why it sucked, and how they can do better next time.

Besides complaining about horrible AMVs and raving about the good ones here on the forum, drop the creator a note about it, too. Leave an opinion!

Go to the opinion exchange forum and offer some opinion trades ^_^
Humans are more altruistic when there is something in it for them.

There are also a lot of people who don't want to write a vague, short, or unuseful review and opt to not do one at all. I prefer the email approach when I like a video but just don't have much to say about it. If you specifically ask someone here to help you by giving you some constructive criticsm, they will almost all agree to help you.

About 1 every 100-200 is expected. That's pretty bad I know, but those odds are for good vids @_@ Bad vids rarely even get opinions since ppl don't think its worth the effort, or they feel they already wasted enough time to d/l and watch it. There's also those who fear a revenge review, because they scored some vid .'/ with low scores. So like Misty said if you want to change those odds you goto opinion exchange.

This is one of the unfortunate truths of the .org. People need to grow up. If you get a bad score, just take it. Don't go back and edit the other persons review and give them all 5's when they had 7's and 8's originally.

Bah, reviews are overrated... and this, coming from the #1 most opinionated on the site. :-P

Plenty of people won't know enough to be able to leave a constructive review. The people who do know enough all tend to have long backlogs of videos for which they've already promised reviews.

And most people seem to want reviews for affirmation, rather than for criticism.
