Yeah I got one too in the past and I think one of the mods DMed me but I can't remember if they offered anything specific.

You can honestly pretty much say whatever you want in a review as long it relates to the game, but when it violates the rules (or the mod's interpretation of the rules) they smack you hard.

I think in my review that was taken down I made a sarcastic remark about the developer being dead, even though It wasn't meant to be taken seriously since game threads are more often than not flooded with assumptions such as that when a game gets spontaneously abandoned by a developer and ghosts everyone. Hard not to jump to any ridiculous assumptions, especially in today's world where facts are everything.

Always write a ticket first if you have a question about a moderator action, for example why your review has been deleted.
Unlike some random post/thread, those will actually be read by the staff.



There is a good chance the mod in question did an honest mistake why he wasn't informing you about the details.

So.....he didn't write 200 characters? He spammed a word over and over? He commented on the limit? What exactly did he do?

Baseless theory:

I've seen several reviews in the past where people post random stuff to meet the character minimum. Similar to how a student may make a font bigger for a research paper. I'm curious if a mod came across his review and saw something similar and deleted it.

Ah and there it is, completely reasonable to delete and get rid of. He even knew he had to write 200 characters.

 

[MAKE DEEPFAKES]

Personally, I don't see why there should be a hard minimum character count for the reviews when the there's no minimum quality for the games.

anyone who starts a thread complaining about a moderator action should automatically get a dunce cap added to their profile pic because they are almost always proven to be stupid

must have been an astronomically shit game because I don't even remember writing this review or even what game it is, and I clearly wasn't going to put time and effort into writing an MLA essay reviewing a pile of trash

200 characters is not an essay man.

You could not write the review in the first place if it's that much of a bother, write a 3 word comment instead.

Reviews should be more in depth instead of "This is shit".

I disagree, 95% of people only look at the review score anyways. And a review just saying "this is shit" is very respectful of the readers time and understands that TL;DR accounts for the 95% of the 5% of people who reads reviews, remaining brief and conveying their opinion of the game in an effective manor.

You are *technically* correct in that, but only because a good chunk of reviews aren't worth reading anyway, but I always read the ones that actually tell me what I need to know. If you used actual sentences to get to the 200 character limits instead of sarcastically posting random words at the end it probably wouldn't have been removed, no essay required.

From the way I see it, this is part of a potential problem. Rules should be enforced by pre-defined interpretation by admin/owner, because interpretations by a second or third party can be basically anything, even more so when a rule is vague.

This part of your first post is more than 200 characters

Congratulations, this post was over 300 characters!

Obviously when you actually have something to say, 200 characters for you is not difficult.

You beat me to it, but you only selected one. All of OP's posts in this thread are more than 200 characters.

From the way I see it, this is part of a potential problem. Rules should be enforced by pre-defined interpretation by admin/owner, because interpretations by a second or third party can be basically anything, even more so when a rule is vague.

The vast majority of the time, it's pretty obvious when a rule is not followed by someone. It doesn't require a decision tree to make a valid determination. (such as OP's breach)

And when there is doubt/confusion, that's why there is a ticket system for people to ask why or appeal a decision.

Bro will literally write 300 characters about why 200 characters are not needed.

 

[LordMerek]

I don't think writing 200 characters is a hard thing to do, the hard thing is trying to write meaningful review for a game that overrated as hell.

I feel like Shutter Island MC's last 10 minutes while reading ratings in here.

If something sucks so much, you usually got a lot to say about it, at least 200 characters worth.
