Sure, there will be pieces that you don't like in here that you 'have to' review for staying at 100%, but there is no obligation to write reviews for all of them.At 8/27/09 08:31 AM, Coop83 wrote: You can always omit the Art Reviews from the list of stuff to review - you're not obliged to review every single submission that you see.Yes, I know, but I try and review as many of the requests as possible, whether it's art or not. I just hate reviewing art, that's all :P, but I review it not to because I think I'm obliged to, but because I want points, I guess, and besides, the art portal's even worse than the audio portal when it comes to reviewing and popularity, so the more reviews art makers get, the better :D.
Basically, as I've already said, if you don't want to review the piece, don't. Do not review if you're doing this solely for climbing or maintaining your rank within this club. Do it for the fact that you actually care about the piece and that your feedback can actually help to improve the artist's next piece that they make.
There are some things I haven't reviewed since I don't really have much to say about them, mostly some voice acting audio, but the reason why I'm writing art reviews is to try and help the author. OK, I do enjoy being competitive and getting points, and I don't particularly like reviewing art, but I try and give as much feedback as possible. What I'm trying to say is, I don't review art because I really enjoy it, but just to help out. Well, at least I think my art reviews are slightly helpful, anyway...
