Re: MUD Reviews
My two cents on how to get decent (or at least qualified reviews) is to require the reviewer to use the character name from the Mud they review plus a valid email and/or registration.
Some might balk at the required name because they feel that they should not have to divulge themselves. Here are some reasons why they should:
1. Credibility that the person actually played the game.
2. Ability to gauge how long the person played (Most if not all muds have timers).
3. Whether a good or bad review, the staff on the mud can see what angle the player is coming from, why they reviewed like they did, and in many cases have a better clarity to make modifications if the review was critical.
If a person posted the character they played and were required to give a valid email or log on I'm thinking this would reduce the amount of wacky reviews. If it were my decision I would require the character name for validation and require registration to write a review.
