one user (Buck Nasty) posted about a dozen completely innapropriate reviews... some were ridiculously long (one nearly half a megabyte) and some with just some bad words...

so what we need is for the review script to e-mail each review to someone (one of the 5 admins... we should make 1 official review editor). and possibly even have reviews required to be pended, as opposed to automatically accepted. So the review editor would need to "accept" or "reject" each review.

i guess we can give the review approval thingy a try, we may also use filters or limits the review size. a few thousand characters should be more than enough. though, review approval would be a really good way to improve overall review quality and ensure this problem wouldn't happen again.

Is the large review still up? I'd like to read a really long review, even a bad one...

i'd like to see you write a 500kb sized review. that's a plain text bud, not some MSWord mumbo jumbo. :)

You know, if you're concerned about bad words, i think you can edit the posting so it replaces bad words [pre-defined] with asteriks ****. A lot of servers i play on for counter-strike do that, and it also gives you warnings and stuff.

ok i'm pretty sure i finished this feature.... all admins - there's a link to "review reviews" in your admin menu... you should do this as often as you come to this site! (well, at least once a day)

and if you accidentally accept one, you can still remove it.

also, keep in mind that the links are below the review, even though they are closer to the review under it. the links correspond to the review ABOVE it.
