Reviews for Abusive Review Guide 2

[Little-Rena]

Alright

I still think this is somewhat lacking though, I don't know I mean you have plenty of information and it's good to see you are talking about whistling submissions and how to. Still not too keen on all the text though and the red font doesn't work too well with the orange background. The audio is fine, which is great to have and all, as well as a mute button.

You added a quiz to this which is good but one major problem with this is that the questions aren't based on the information in the flash. I would suggest basing questions on the content of the flash, but it's good the way it seems to have been done with a try again method. Although still somewhat simple, a scoring system and such would be decent.

Not sure what more you could really add to this, a more entertaining way to present the main information would be a decent idea. I mean the quiz is a simple way to get information across but surly you can think of some clever way to get the main talking parts across. Try some wacky animation some time with some way of bringing points in.

3/5

Thanks for the review!

I know the animation is still a little weak, but I'm still learning at the moment, so I'm making baby steps in terms of animation.

Solid Attempt that needs refining ...

First, going to judge the flash on appearance and going to be honest with this whole review.

The background and text clashed with each other. After a while, background stand out so much that hard to read the text and keep focus. Might want to focus on appearance in upcoming projects so the attention won't be taken away from the meaning, but at the same time, people will stay interested. Like having white text on a black background, yeah, everyone can read it, but so dull no one is going to read. On the same token, a flash background or bright background makes takes away from a text. Just felt like both were competeing for attention. And adding the flash textt for the quiz just felt like a brawl.

I would suggest choosing a mild, but intersting background that compliments the text.

Ok, for the actual content. I'll start with pre quiz. Nice content, very basic, and easy to understand. Just thats all it is. Basic, should go into more details about types of reviews. You didn't mention anything about chain reviews, links promoting outside sites, or just links in general.

As for the quiz (thx for the shout out ;P)
1. Question 6. I wouldn't use that as an example, basically that can be considered insulting the artists. So that is questionable, and the deragotory language is frowned upon most of the time.

2. Question 8. I think you worded it the wrong way. A point is a point, so one positive point is equal to one negative point. I think you ment to say, "A deleted review is gained less positive whistle points than a cleared review with negative whistle points. Same with flash entries.

Overall solid attempt, lacking finer details and visuals, however still good job. Pretty sure alot of new comers are going to find this helpful. Also, might want to poke around for alot more faqs on people's userpage. But ....

7/10 and 4/5

RohantheBarbarian responds:

A review mod's review. The most important one of all.

Anyway, you made some excellent points there, and I guess the questions could have been better phrased.

In my desperation to liven up the background, I may have made it difficult to read, sorry about that.

Thanks for a great review (and you are welcome for the shout-out :P)

the main 'meat' is solid

I'm still dubious about your claim that 'negative whistle points are worth more than positive ones'. Where did you get this info?

Other than that, this was generally a great tutorial - logically presented info and I liked the way you closed with a quiz. And the post-question parts of the quiz made sure the answer was understood - good stuff!

After muting the music, I couldn't seem to turn it on again though.

Also, the typography/visual design is pretty boring and not really in the theme of NG. Lose the Times New Roman, put in something like 'Hit the Road' and 'Featured Item'. Make the bg closer to the NG colours, then lighten it up. Don't use blue or red text - just black.

Those are my niggles, but the main 'meat' is solid.\

I love the fact that you linked to the google page - that's something I might not have found out otherwise.

RohantheBarbarian responds:

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. You lose more points from a cleared flag than you gain from a deleted one.

The music has a 3-4 second delay before it starts, are you sure it wouldn't restart?

I will improve the visuals in the future.

Thanks for a great review!

not a bad idea.

but personally, i think people shd just chillax and just watch good flashes and be nice!

RohantheBarbarian responds:

I agree in one way, but there are a lot of NG users who are quite nasty and spiteful. That is why we have the whistle system in the first place.

Thanks for reviewing!

This gives some okay and some outdated information. Very similar to the original episode.
