== How == | Users who have [[AniDB:Sign up|signed up]] and are logged in have the option of commenting on and rating [[Content:Reviews|reviews]] on the site. This exists primarily to encourage people to give reviewers some feedback on their efforts, and neatly organise it in one place. In addition, it serves as a mechanism to order reviews on the page with those that users have found most useful at the top, to give readers an idea of which are most likely to be helpful. One of the most important principles is that the rating given with a comment should be based on the ''quality of the review'', not how closely their opinion of a particular anime conforms with yours. | ||

Based on questions like these, you should assign a vote and comment on why you chose the vote you did. The available votes are: | Based on questions like these, you should assign a vote and comment on why you chose the vote you did. The available votes are: | ||
*'''Excellent (10)''' - A vote of 10 should be reserved for the best of the best -- reviews where you'd say, as one top reviewer put it, "I actually feel guilty for giving a 10 to a different review before this." Use this vote when you feel like saying "wow!" after reading the review. The difference between 8 and 10 is very subjective so use your own good sense. When voting 10, try to express what aspect of the review made you feel inclined to giving it a 10 rather than an 8. | *'''Excellent (10)''' - A vote of 10 should be reserved for the best of the best -- reviews where you'd say, as one top reviewer put it, ''"I actually feel guilty for giving a 10 to a different review before this."''

*'''Good (8)''' - This is the vote that reviewers should normally be aiming for, and which they should receive if you find their reviews helpful, informative, enjoyable to read, funny, moving, etc. Even when voting 8, it's nice to make a few comments on parts you didn't like, as well as the parts you found especially good, so that the reviewer can keep these in mind when writing more reviews in the future. | *'''Good (8)''' - This is the vote that reviewers should normally be aiming for, and which they should receive if you find their reviews helpful, informative, enjoyable to read, funny, moving, etc. Even when voting 8, it's nice to make a few comments on parts you didn't like, as well as the parts you found especially good, so that the reviewer can keep these in mind when writing more reviews in the future. | ||

*'''Needs complete revision (1)''' - Reserve this vote for so-called reviews that do not serve the purpose of a review whatsoever. Pure plot synopsis, a few sentences about how the anime being reviewed is the best/worst thing in the world, random banging on the keyboard, plagarism of another reviewer's text, and completely off-topic writing are some examples but not the only ones. In addition, a vote of 1 may be appropriate if the person commenting believes that, aside from extensive problems that would justify a vote of 3, the review has little or no redeeming qualities, such that a total rewrite would be necessary in order to provide a useful review. | *'''Needs complete revision (1)''' - Reserve this vote for so-called reviews that do not serve the purpose of a review whatsoever.
