Simon's short reviews

[Krug]

A trio of very short reviews allegedly by Simon Collins have been put into the reviews database. Links here:

Why doesn't Simon use his ID to post them? The reviews database has a policy against short reviews, and while some of these are informative, they hardly meet the criteria for the reviews section.

I agree with Krug, these reviews need a lot of work. I'm not sure this is actually Simon, though. I could be wrong, but his writing style seems different. After reading many of his reviews, it's hard to think these are written by the same person.

On the same note, I've noticed some lousy reviews over there. THese are by far in the minority, but I was wondering who should be notified so they can get deleted.

Yes I didn't think it was Simon as well, but the Gaxmoor review says it is Simon Collins. Well I'll leave it up to the powers that be!

Also, two of those three products Simon Collins had already reviewed.

Psion does a lot of the pruning in the reviews, at least from what I have seen.

Hmmm, forums have an ability to report a thread to the mods, unless I have missed it the reviews don't. Maybe next time Liquide gets to tinker with it he could add something like that, unless it is too difficult. But from what I have seen (not looked in a couple weeks) Psion generally does a good job of rooting out the worste of the reviews.

1) I have no idea why anyone is bringing Simon Collins' name into this. These are not posted under his name, nor do they claim to be.

2) I agree they are too short and will be deleted soon.

That's a good idea if they can do it. I'm not sur ehow complicated of code atlering that would be.

From the Gaxmoor review:
http://www.enworld.org/d20reviews.asp?sub=yes&where=active&reviewer=Simon&product=gaxm
Simon Collins has detailed the contents of Lost City of Gaxmoor: nice '1e' atmosphere, its millenia-lost Roman-style city fits well in my campaign, & it has a nice glossy city map. But the editing is appalling, the floorplans have no keys AT ALL - it requires a lot of work for the GM. More of a campaign pack than a scenario, really. Good once you work out how to approach it - I settled on PCs as commando team running hit & run missions into the ruins. As a standard 'dungeon crawl' it doesn't logically work - the angry hordes will squelch any party that tries to camp out in the city for any length of time

Well as long as they're deleted soon.

From the Gaxmoor review:[/i]

If this person really were Simon Collins, why should he speak of himself in the third person?

Also, what makes you think that it's him? 'cause the above quote doesn't even suggest that...
