J2O Downloads Moderators

Is there anyone who goes through everything uploaded to J2O and looks through reviews? If there isn't, I believe there should be.

The topic came up in #jj2 for a little bit. Basically there is one main problem that many people are facing which is "n00bs" coming in and giving a download a very poor grade based upon really trivial or unconsequential ideas, or really for no reason at all, thus needlessly driving down the rating for the download.

Here's an example: In SXR there are a few entries from reviewers no one has hardly ever seen that give it a 5.0. I think one of the people's entire review was "So much hard I think". The poor English aside, does this person really have the right to lower a downloads' average if they display little knowledge of reviewing at all, or even a good reason? I know way more than the SXR entry have faced this. I know people are entitled to their own opinions, but in some cases, frankly, their opinions are senseless. Not to say this person's opinion that SXR is hard is dumb, but giving it a 5/10 because of it is.

Blurred said in #jj2 that if he requested of for it to be deleted by any J2O admin it would be deleted it promptly, but I'm sure they don't like doing other people favors all day. That's why I think someone should be given the job to delete (or make the rating N/A) some reviews, certain downloads, etc. They would have to be available for such work frequently, and someone who has a lot of experience in reviewing levels. Be trustworthy, and crap like that...since, wouldn't they have be admins themselves?

Another choice is for reviewer rating weights. I know that has been discussed in the "Suggestions for J2O 2.0" thread, so I won't go into further detail.

Comments and critisism?
