Remove "on going" reviews category

 Kate:

This is not something I'm okay with tbh. Personally I go back to my reviews after a year or few months to fix spelling and grammar mistakes. The content of what I thought does not change, it's just a stylistic clean up, but it would be considered editing reviews and would reset all my upvotes.

It would be better to just lock the possibility of hitting that upvote button (or hide it) until the review is marked as completed, and the review should be able to me marked as completed only AFTER the show finishs airing. 

I did not think about that, and you're right, of course. It would be not okay to reset votes just for editing grammar and spelling mistakes. 

Restricting votes and only allow reviews to be marked as completed after a drama has finished airing would be the best solution.

Next Major Updates:

• Ongoing reviews will expire after 30 days, becoming hidden, and a notification will be sent to update them.
• At least one episode must be watched to write a review.
• Review overall scores will sync with the title's rating score. 
• Overall rating will be optional.
• Category ratings will also be optional.
• A history of edits will be available when you change the rating or the content.

Great news! About the reviews, I still think it shouldn't be available until the show ended, or we dropped it, but at least we have to update it later, so that's a plus.

 Ji-N3:

Currently, reviews have ZERO effect on the main rating.

I think reviews should have MORE effect than the main rating, because most of us, actually write something about the show or the movie, and not just pick the same rating or worse, bombing it with low or high scores. I think it would be great if there's only one rating system.

I was actually only thinking about the reviews released before a show finishes which get substantial changes between “earth mix is fire” and “actual content about show beyond hot abs and gazes” first ep/final reviews-locking the upvote/downvote til it finishes airing would be most useful, but I don’t know how easy it is to implement it.

Of course, there are numerous fake reviews, but I think that can be fixed with limitations like, you can only send a review if it's longer than 500 words or something. But 1 rating system is more important. Now we have 2 separate one and people can spam dramas two ways.😅

there is a minimum number of symbols in the review. People literally just copy paste the same sentence few times to hit it tho... Or add a lot of random emojis.

There are two separate rating systems? Could you explain what you meant by that? I thought there's just one system of rating (aka scoring) a show - although I don't know how it works/what it takes into consideration when calculating a show's rating/score. Ji-N3 stated here 2 days ago that "Currently, reviews have ZERO effect on the main rating" and that's all I know so far.

 David33:

Well, if someone does that, and you or someone see it, we have to report it and the Admins can ban the users.

they won't ban the user, they will just remove the review. But with the number of reviews like that showing up it;s impossible to report them all and for the staff to remove them all. 

 Ji-N3:

If people want to do something, they will find a way. Restrictions don’t work most of the time.

I agree, but I think most of us would prefer 1 rating system. As I said in my own thread, I can't provide a perfect solution, because there isn't one. 

I think we should find a solution that makes it harder for people who just want to review bombing something because it's "fun".  These restrictions would only cause problems for those people, I don't think the rest of us would care, because we rate dramas normally.

Now that I think about it. I don't like Rotten Tomatoes, but both on Rotten and Metacritic we can see a separate overall score for Users and for Critics. I think this option could be the best solution.

 The user option is obvious. The one for the Critics could be invitation only, based on how long they're active on the platform and how many reviews they wrote. In this way, we could balance the score, I think. Also, people could get a Critic approval, so to speak, after they wrote more than 10 reviews or something like that. There's a separate rating system for the reviews anyway, so we just need to see our ratings on the main page next to the User rating.
