Tips on giving and receiving reviews
« on: September 29, 2015, 07:32:50 am »
Once again, Manga Mavericks likes to remind those that anyone can use their own form of giving reviews if one feels its best way to help a member. Not everyone is built the same way and welcome all forms of reviews. However, there will be times that can be step on certain toes. Here are some tips on how to give and accept reviews.

NOTE: These are just universal tips that is here for the entire forum to see and to make use of. It is not to be enforced. Although it is highly recommended to look into it and take as much of the advice as possible.

Receiving reviews

#1) Don't expect someone to tell you "how" to fix something in your story. A review is not by any means on how to fix, or how to apply it. the freedom to use that review in any by the one receiving. If you are one that is receiving and only points out the faults, try to use that and find a way to fix it on your own.

#2) If you need more additional help or elaboration, do not be afraid to ask. Often times reviews can be detailed about how certain things are flawed or need improvement and other times they start off very basic and not detailed. If you need further details, then dont be afraid to ask.

#3) Don't expect too much out of the first review. Often times those expect that they will be able to fix it all with just one review, it may take several reviews to see the bigger flaws or mistakes.

#4) Don't get discouraged. If you receive too many negative reviews, don't let that get in your way of improving. Try to take all the negative reviews as a sign of people looking into your work deeply and see a way to improve.

Giving Reviews

#1) Know that the receiving member (despite this page existing to help members) may retaliate completely. If one does retaliate, try giving more evidence on why your review is the way it is based on what you can point out. Not everyone can handle reviews

#2) If you can, try to find something that you can point out about the story. Often times, it could be the concept itself or potential. Often times those receiving need to hear something positive every now and then about their work.

#3) Try not to morph the story onto your own interests. Reviewing is all about enhancing the creators work. This isn't a common mistake, but it happens enough to mention about it.

This was actually based on Lumaria's idea. We wanted to make it a universal guideline that the moderators and members can look at first before anything else. But i moved it anyways.

We are currently discussion a "heat system" where if members can't handle criticism well, they would be marked for it. Even if they don't like the heat level. The idea is so that members can give and receive critique/reviews without any problems or misunderstandings.

But its still in the works. Nothing concrete.

The universal guidelines if you ask me would be to be nice & civil to other people , respect peoples opinions/thoughts in general & agree to disagree & walk away is the polite form of disagreement . This however , is more specific , so yeah ...

Also , I've posted my thoughts on the heat system in it's thread .

I realize they we're pretty specific but it's something people don't really take into consideration when fixing the problems they create.
