Doesn't need much brain to think that up.

Addfire linked to my thread explaining how this whole stupid "Rejected" thing came up, but I didn't clearly explain my view on the thing itself.

I hate this "rejected" thing and all it's variations. I started it as a joke that goes along with whatever criticism I give, which admittedly was just a line or two, and it was garbage quality. Some people started adapting that word from me and adding it to their reviews, which I didn't pay much attention to.

A short while after I first used "Rejected", I stopped, because I moved on to more constructive criticism. That's where it was supposed to end and get buried, right? No, people just propagated that childish "reviewing technique" even further. Fast forward about 1 year later, and people are still using it.

Using "Rejected" for whatever use is rubbish in my opinion. It should be buried and killed, which was supposed to happen a year ago. Final verdicts are trash too, as the whole role idea could be completely reworked, even if the role reviewers think otherwise unless the base concept of the role is a horrible one.

It's honestly annoying to see people propagating a dead, mediocre way of reviewing. Stop using Rejected, I wouldn't take you seriously if you sum up your "final verdict" with that and no one else should. I wholeheartedly agree with HTE, kill this trash way of reviewing already.

"But we turned it from a joke to something useful". As far as I've seen from every role idea thread, no you haven't, no one from the wiki has. It has been turned into an obnoxious, frowned upon method of reviewing that has been long overdue for a headshot.

The reviewers should adapt to using something else, more constructivity and professionalism in it too. Not something necessarily as formal as what Arceus suggested, not even the forums are that formal, but at least something less childish and more helpful.
