When you say that small amount of feedback that comment was didn't equal to a full review, I sort of disagree. Looking at the length of some reviews that you moderators allow, I think that comment was on equal terms. Though it may seem a bit rash, but if we are talking about getting feedback to some extend, it would mean accepting different types of reviews as well. After all, if all reviews were the same and following the same structure as they do now, there really wouldn't be a need to post more than one.
Now don't think that would be "the one and only" solution, I'm not exactly suggesting anything here, but I'm saying that the review system never were any benefit to the artist, and you know very well that is a concern when you want artists to stick around.
At this point, I don't think there's going to come any more artists, so it's just a reflective thought. Jazz2Online has fit its purpose of a download archive, but the question that remains is whether tilesets ever fit into the same category of download as everything else in terms of reviewing.
Certainly, we had a time period where many tilesets were being made, but if you look at the review system back then, most of the reviews were more comments like on an art gallery than the reviews we see today. The new question is whether any artist would really want to return to doing hours of work only to have the feedback directed at the downloader, and the only true motivation for creating a tileset now is sheer dedication to the community.
Now it might sound odd coming from me as I have gotten quite a bit of praise on that upload, but what you have to remember is that we’re looking at the tileset artists that are yet to create good sets. And I’m going to be honest here, it was never the reviews or the feedback I received on my previous tilesets that were the motivation for improvement. In fact, I went elsewhere for years.
