Dont's of a reviewer
The amount of karma points give to you will be determined how you obey these guides. Obeying these guides will help retain your and the shop's reputation.
• DON'T be all negative and hurtful comments. Yes, you can be brutally honest if that's your style, but no insulting. There's a difference between the two. Remember, you are here to give constructive criticisms, not to insult the requesters.
Example:
Right: "The story's somewhat good, it has some creativity in it, especially in the plot. But it would be better if [cite expalnation].
Wrong: "Overall, the story's horrible. Now I understand why this has no subs."
• DON'T make false assumptions or accusations without a sound basis. Always have a basis for your claim so that the requester can understand what s/he has done something wrong.
Example:
Right: "There are many plotholes in the story. For instance, in Chapter 4, [cite the plothole then explain why it became a plothole.]"
Wrong: "I see many plotholes in the story."
