Krazy666Kracker. |

Today, I'd thought I'd check up on my stories' reviews. To make sure that they're doing well, blah blah blah. I suddanly notice my fan fiction story "Mr. Pink" had shot down in points. Shocked at this, I decide to look into it. I then find a review by Krazy666Kracker that says:
"Title: WTF?
Concept: 10
Characters: 3
Dialogue: 12
Presentation: 1
Plot: 2
Overall: 28.
what the fuck?hat was the mosandom hit i have ever read. the resentaioas not very good. your grammar was terrible. the character had no depth. the story was full of plot holes. its was way too short. it seemed like you rushed through it and didnt think twice about any word you put in. it seemed you didnt check for errors and just through it out there."
Now, I'd normally not complain since it's all opinion. But not only is this harsh, but this review couldn't be worse if he had just put "Cose I felt like it". Now, using the parts I can pick out (not much due to his hypocritcal statement of having poor grammar), I will now answer the review:
1. The grammar isn't terrible at all. There are very few grammar mistakes.
2. The character didn't have any depth because it's a fan fiction. The depth was already added in the film.
3. The story was not full of plot holes.
4. Of course it was short! It was only an escape, not a new religon.
5. I do "rush through" and don't look back. That is how I write and so far, it's done me well.
So, if you'd be so kindly to explain your review more, that'd be great. Because right now, it looks like you just scanned a pile of shit onto your computer, put it into text format and made it out as a review.

PM system, much?
But yeah, it looks like he was half in the bag when he wrote that anyway... could have contributed to his perception of the story.

Handbags at dawn, love it!
I can tell you're still hot, but it's really nothing to get upset about LC. I've got questionable reviews in the past about things that I really put a hell of a lot of effort into. Mr. Pink was a single page based on a film Krazy has probably never even seen; although it probably wasn't best practice to vote on things-he-knows-not-what, I still feel that in Krazy's mind, his review was justified although it was a little bit pointed, a point tempered with maturity.
Grant him this tresspass and better yourself for it. There'll always be another competition.

umm yeah, first of all i had never seen the film and therefore had no idea
second i was not in the best of moods at that time, and for that i apologize
thirdly there were words that were used in the wrong pretense (not sure if thats the word)
one example was you used the word "was" instead of "were" ( i think that was it)

It's not the competition I'm pissed off about. I'm pissed off that my mark has been lowered horribly because:
A. The person has not even seen the film.
B. He was in a bad mood.
C. Minor grammar errors.
It's not like this is even the first time. I still recall Andersson's topic in Poetry where Kracker gave a bad review. I mean, come the hell on. You know as much as I do that if I started doing it to you, you'd most likely not like it, or if I did it to Kracker, he'd most likely complain.

Of course it's a bad piece of writing now. Of course you would of not thrown a bitch fit. Sure.
Kracker, I am not asking for a banning or anything harsh like that. I am simply asking for the review to be deleted, because lets face it, the review couldn't be worse if you wrote "because I felt like it." as the reason.

There's no need to jump to conclusions, once we've installed methods to perceive perspectives, we can also use that as a means to automatically eliminate perspectives that are grossly inaccurate or unfair.
L-C, if you believe that the majority of people would consider his review innapropriate, then you really have nothing to worry about. In time it'll disappear all on it's own and all associated statistics restored. Can you say fairer than that?

my review is what i truly felt about your piece of writing, even if i was in a good mood im sure i would.ve given it an almost equally bad score. if you hasd revised it it would have been much better im sure. maybe delete my perspective, revise the story and i will give another perspective on it.

Hey-ho, there you go.
L-C, if it's any consolation, I'd mark the review as "bad."
Not for the harshness in score... that's someone's opinion. But for the really, really bad way it was presented. You can't trash someone's grammar while speeling so terrile and not bothering to revise your own 2 paragraph review. It's just not professional.

Never mind, it'll all come out in the wash eventually. In the meantime, take stock of the good reviews you've received and if more people consider Krazy's review as "bad" then the new systems being installed will reflect that.
