Honestly, there’s no right or wrong here. A shorter review IS as valuable as a longer one, but the 200-character rule probably achieves the staff's vision for the ratings page. It's equally valid alternatives.
His review was fine except he added words to make up at least 200 characters, which was hilarious not gonna lie, that's why his review got shit canned.

I'm not sure if I agree "This game is shit" can be considered a legit review. Most people want to know why a game is shit, and we all know if the 200 character limit wasn't a thing and any type of review was allowed I guarantee there would be thousands of those types of reviews and it would help almost nobody make an informed decision.

this forum has to many rules and esoteric interpretation of such rules for a porn pirate site, therefor I simply don't read them as it would waste my time as my opinions will be rejected no matter what from some random moderator. People really be actin up over some BS here.

I got the same and I wrote an actual review.
I didn't even get a msg saying why, so I had to guess that it was review I wrote.

My last warning was 4 years ago, this one because I said to someone who was ridiculing another member:
"I have a 6 yo nephew, he also think his opinions are facts." I think this is pretty innocent.
According to moderators this was: Abusive, overly aggressive, threatening, or to "troll".
That time I got a msg saying I got a warning at least.

i dont know why i keep getting spammed with moderator warnings every time I post in. I don't make any posts or reviews that violate the rules. They just abuse their privileges and lord over specific games on here making it impossible to criticize them at all.

Extremely autistic and clunky gameplay that simply does not work. You have no idea even how to meet any of the heroines beyond the blonde one and the dev is just yet another dime a dozen discord fiefdom idiots who doesnt want to finish their game and just milk/scam their patreon supporters until they get banned and cry about it.

Was that a review? :ROFLMAO: Over half isn't about the game.

i've suggested that a dunce cap is automatically added to any user who complains about reviews (because they are almost always in the wrong), but since that hasn't happened, i did it myself

for anyone else who wants to add dunce caps on people like this guy, i attach the cap

From the way I see it, this is part of a potential problem. Rules should be enforced by pre-defined interpretation by admin/owner, because interpretations by a second or third party can be basically anything, even more so when a rule is vague.
I've worked in moderation before, and honestly, you can't ever get a situation where every moderator... well moderates with the same interpretation. Every person has their own 'limits' of what they'll put up with, and how far they'll let something go before they step in. By the same token, there's often gray areas with rules, that if you're enforcing the rules to the letter of the rule, you're going to run into trouble with.

For example, with the 200 character limit problem, I've seen a couple reviews that fell just under the limit. Like 194 or so; and the person ended up putting a nonsense word at the end of it to push over the limit. Their review though, was a valid review. Something simple as: "The gameplay is very lackluster, and the developer doesn't care about their community. The game may be worth a revisit later, but unless something changes, It's not worth the trouble right now." That's a decent review, but it's 194 characters long, so a person may add one or two words to the bottom to get it over the limit. Thing is, if you're enforcing the rules as black or white, then that review would have to go. That's where gray areas come into play, and it circles back to every moderator having their own personal interpretations.

I think all that matters is the moderators are consistent in their rulings; as opposed to having the exact same thought or understanding of the rules.
