maybe they should only give 'good advice'. Im certain parts of my review weren't there when I sent it in.

The aforementioned review had a number of errors that were missed by the editors, and when I read the revised copy I added in a few changes, but they were reverted to what they were before.
When I tried to reason with the editor who contacted me, I challenged several revisions made by the editors. By not giving a reason for the revisions or why my challenges were overlooked, I inferred that those challenges were ignored. You see, I know my reviews aren't perfect, but that doesn't mean I'm a bad writer or I'm incapable of writing reviews at all. Would it be so wrong for the editors to choke down a little pride every now and then and admit they made a mistake instead of talking to the reviewers like they were dirt? I disagreed with those changes, and yet because I was a lowly reviewer what I had to say had little bearing on the final form the review would take. Good advice is one thing, "here's my changes; if you don't like them, bugger off" is completely different. |

As I said in my last post, we changed the bits where we had made mistakes (one serious one, for which I apologised) and I would probably have been more likely to enter into a discussion with you if your attitude had been more reasonable. I copied your comments into the editing thread and we all agreed, as I pointed out to you, that the edits you objected to were correct.
This isn't the place to discuss that, however - it's been dealt with, and this is already the second version of this thread, after someone caused it to be closed. |

You have a flawed interpretation of what happened in that conversation we had. You were quite rude to me, well before I decided to give a little of your horse ~~~~ back.

Once again, that has already been dealt with, and if you have a problem with it still I suggest you take it up once again with The Picard, rather than cluttering up this once-useful thread.

My purpose for posting this incident was not to focus the thread on you (though I feel you got off a lot easier than you should have), but to demonstrate my reason for wanting the editing system to change. Please stop trying to make yourself the center of attention with your vain trolling attempts.

I don't know about which review Danny is talking about, but I know that sometimes reviews get changed by the updaters as well (usually it says Updater's comment). I know it happened to some of my early updates (like Detroit).
So maybe that's what's happend to Danny's review as well (it would help to know which game we're talking about though). |
