TO REVIEWERS
Granted, there may be posters who cannot spell, have little grammatical prowess, are completely socially dysfunctional and unaware, and may be aggressively offensive and unreceptive to suggestions - but this does not give you carte blanche to reply in the same manner. The Acceptable Use & Posting Rules and Forum Posting Guidelines are very much applicable to everyone here.
A note to all reviewers - if your reviewing style includes any of the following, but not limited to, forms of Flaming, Flamebaiting, Trolling the User:
- Belittling anyone;
- Direct Personal Flaming / Insulting them;
- Adding any snide or condescending quips in order to goad and incite further degradation of the review;
or
- Replying to a flame, rather than reporting it;
- Making any posts that are non contributive;
- Blatantly off topic chatting;
... you will be dealt with on a case by case basis - there will be no tolerance for any nonsense - this also applicable to users asking for a review.
Note: There is nothing new here, other than some clarification via further examples, but not limited to, of what is not permitted via the current rules.
Understand the difference between a direct personal insult and saying something they wrote or a picture of theirs sucks - One is personal, and not permitted and the other is opinion. However if that's all your review amounts to without any helpful suggestions - tread lightly.
New users and posters should feel welcomed and genuinely helped, not belittled to the point of closing their accounts. Not everyone has a thick skin and "get out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat" is not an acceptable excuse for anyone's unacceptable conduct. Know your audience and tailor to their needs, within reason.
