Simon's short reviews

[S'mon]

Also, it seems Simon = S'mon on these boards.

Yep, 'tis I, I apologise for my presumptuous and the confusion engendered. I didn't know there were strict requirements on review content, I'm used to the Amazon.com laissez-faire system. I wanted to be S'mon on the review ID also, but it woudn't allow a ', so just Simon was closest. Only too late did I realise the problem...

PS: I had a really great review of Gaxmoor that got eaten by the system - if you'd read it you wouldn't think so ill of me... *sigh*

We don't think ill of you, it's just we havea higher standard for reviews then Amazon. You might want to read some of the reviews by the Staff and others to get a better feel. Also, just because something is covered in someone else's review, doesn't mean it shouldn't be in yours. Not everyone reads every review so you should try to make your review cover everything it can. I look forward to reading more of your reviews in the future.

I have read dozens of the reviews, I find them very useful - normally there's a big professional review by one of the staff reviewers, then some smaller ones, including some that are just brief comments - I didn't know the latter weren't acceptable. Anyway I'm going to redo my Gaxmoor review now.

OK, I've put up a 'proper' rewritten Gaxmoor review at:
http://www.enworld.org/d20reviews.asp?sub=yes&where=active&reviewer=Simon&product=gaxm

Unfortunately copy/pasting as advised has mucked up the ' marks, turning them into ugly strings of letters... *sigh*
Anyway, please let me know if this is acceptable, thanks.

Yes that happens. No choice but to go in there and change them or delete them from ur word doc. Click on edit to change the review.

Thanks!

To avoid those nasty formatting marks, you should compose your reviews in notepad instead of Word or a similar word processor. The board doesn't seem to like word's handling of characters.


And don't do something moronic like I did once and write your whole review in the submission form, only to lose it when you accidentally bump the wrong key with your elbow.

I write my reviews in Word, but I makes sure after a copy and paste it in the window to read through and fix anything that needs fixing. Takes and extra minute or two, but is well worth the time.
