There is a izan among the mods...G
A guy gets his post cut for this:
"the multiplayer for this game looks horrible. you just stand there and
shoot your foe who is right in front of you. oh well, that's handheld
games for you"
So I respond with this:
"^That is a valid opinion. It's no more "better" or "worse" than someone
saying multiplayer for this game is awesome. It's an opinion.
Therefore
I don't understand why a mod would delete someone from saying this when
tons of people here have written that they like the multiplayer here.
Moderating someone for not liking a game doesn't make sense. You can't
expect everyone in the world to enjoy the same thing."
And just like post 1, my post gets cut as well. I NEVER KNEW DISLIKING GAMES BROKE THE TOS!
Also, I'm changing my rating system. Basically, a game isn't good or bad at all. For one thing, it's impossible for everyone to have the same opinion.
So what I'm going to do is just put everything to 1. But if I like the game, I'll just put a 10 on the tilt, which is supposed to be my opinion anyway.
What this does is it allows me to show games that I like and games that I don't like. Now games that I don't like DOESN'T mean I hate the game. It simply means I'm not liking the game. If you don't hate something, does that automatically mean you like it? Or are you just indifferent to it?
So again, 10 means I like it, 1 means I don't. Simply and easy. I'm rather fine with everything else, graphics, sound and whatever. So long as they work, they work.
I'll blab what's the game about FACTUALLY and then state whether I liked or did not like the game. Simple as that.

I agree wholeheartedly on your first point. Quite a few moderators take every bit of criticism as flame bait or spam. There's a big difference between being a critic and a troll, and aside from completely biased/fanboy System Wars posts, there is no reason to ever delete something just becaues it's critical.
It seems everytime I enter a thread about a game I don't like and comment on it, people go berserk and call me a troll. It's called having an opinion. Ugh.
As for your rating system, the simplicity is definitely a plus, but if you're going to lump things into either like or dislike, you should consider making a game all tens or all one. A 3.7 (the result of a 10 in tilt and 1 in everything else if I'm not mistaken) really doen't reflect that you ended up quite liking a game. Though it IS the content of the review that counts, it's still kind of misleading.
