Yeah I'm a trash role reviewer and I never put myself as an example. I also appreciate the role reviews you do, they might be harsh but they offer ample criticism that isn't just copy pasting rules from the board.

If anything, I haven't done much role reviewing anyways lately, mainly due to my lack of experience with the game. But I am sick of role reviews where people go:

Transporter Rehash hahahhaha so bad go die rejected

Explain why a transporter rehash is garbage, explain why it should be rejected, explain. That's the whole point of role reviews- constructive criticism.

If something is unfixable, point it out. Then, explain what they can do next time.

I've never personally mentioned you because your reviews aren't bad at all. My comments were oriented on the type of comments that go-

"lol rehash. fck this idiotic role"

No context, no information, etc.

I'm in agreement with the rules. In fact, I would just remove it. If something is not balanced, a good role reviewer should be able to identify it. They should not have to use a stupid rule list and check things off and say "rehash, rejected".

Now about the "overpositive" thing, yes, I can totally see your point here, but I guess overall for a community I believe "positive language" (I'm sounding SJW now lol) is the best to introduce people to a community. This community isn't dying, but it's slowing down. I just think that to invite people in, role reviewing with positive language is the way to do it. Again, not saying your reviews are bad at all, they are excellent, it's just that there are people who might not bring the same insightfulness into reviews that become problematic esp. when all their reviews are are just personal insults. Criticize the role, not the user. So I guess we'll have to slightly disagree on that.

And plus, this issue isn't as bad anymore. I agree the main problem now are the rules and the lack of insightful feedback given to users.
