HOW I RATE

Warning: This is just a rough guideline.

Please do not be discouraged if I rate you less than Very Helpful. It does not mean I think you are a bad writer. It means I think you could have done better on the specific review I am rating. It seems a little pointless to list out what you need to do here to get a top rating from me, as I'll usually take the time to stop and explain myself if I do, but to me, a good review contains a balance between opinion and solid detail. If you wish to email me about anything, hit me up at blackstar40@hotmail.com

If you really do impress me, or seem committed to rating my own writing, I'll add you to my WOT (web of trust), and speak highly of you in other circumstances on the site.
