Possible Quick-Review System

Postby Staci » Mon Mar 15, 2004 1:17 pm

Howdy all!


Writing reviews for Anime and Manga can be tedious work. Secondly, it takes dedication to sit down with a piece of paper and take notes while watching/reading, and even more patiencence to put it into a concise format.


What I propose is a database of titles - kind of like message board polls - that allows CAA Members to vote in the way the Review System works.


  1. Overall
  2. Age
  3. Violence
  4. Language
  5. Sexual Content
  6. Nudity
  7. Bad Religion
A Moderator or Administrator can add a title (at Member's request, mayhap) and have time allotted to lock in votes. Votes are tallied, totalled, averaged, etc. etc. This generates a mass-populus opinion instead of one which may seem one sided. (People who did like it, people who didn't like it, yada yada.)


The Quick-Review System could be taken a step further and allow people to post one-hundred to three-hundred words on a particular title, i.e. their shortened opinion.


I know what many of you are thinking, "What is keeping people from coming in here, putting up a bad title, and saying it's good for three year olds to watch?"


Criteria can be implimented so that does not happen. Perhaps only people who have been here for a certain amount of time, or have accumulated fifty or more posts may participate? This should (theoretically) weed out trollers and wrong-doers.


The Quick-Review System would be a great asset to the CAA. I am sure there are many of our younger members who are often worried about purchasing a title because of its unknown aspects. Furthermore, it will flesh out the Review Section somewhat. They may not be full-fledged reviews, but any information in this day and age - especially in concern with not wishing to be offended by various types of content - is a blessing in disguise.

I'm afraid I don't think this is going to get approved. Part of our ethic with the reviews is to provide as MUCH detail as possible so that people know exactly what is in an anime before they purchase or watch it. Dropping certain criteria removes the detail and foils the purpose.

Sorry. :)

Hehe, that's fine, no need to apologize. I used to do theatre so rejection isn't bad anymore. *winks*


And you are very correct in the reasoning behind the purpose for reviewing titles. It is one that I failed to realize before posting.
