you could always do what I do, and mostly review things you enjoy, and thus will be saying positive things about.
If I feel like reviewing, I'll review anything. If I don't, I won't, or just pick out the daily feature or something that's small in size that I can view quickly.
Well, daily features are likely to be one of those good movies to say positive things about I was mentioning. #;-}>
I know back in the day when you had your cool review sigpics and all, you liked to have a balanced bell curve and all, but there's really nothing wrong with just reviewing the good stuff.
I didn't *like* to have one per se, it just worked that way. Now I'd guess it's weighted a bit more to the low end, probably with a mean nearer 4 than 5...
Hm. I miss your old sigs, BTW.
Plus, if you feel like trashing a movie, you can just make sure it's going to be blammed before you review it, and your review will go to the graveyard with it. #;-}>
Then what's the point in that? I don't review stuff that's UJ unless it's from a reputable established artist that's not going to change anything for reasons that I've gone into many a time... if I'm going to review something marginal I may as well wait to see if it survives first.
I was getting the impression from your post that you were getting tired of authors responding with "flash by jonthomson: NONE" and other such insulting crap when you are even the slightest bit critical of them.
Hence my suggestion... because if the only negative reviews you make are to flash that will be blammed anyway, their responses won't survive the blamming, and more importantly, they won't be all over your review pages (which I took it was the reason you didn't like the negative responses in the first place).

I ranked up to Elite Guard Sergeant Major today! Now, by the time I reach the next rank, I should be on the top 50, unless like 5 people near the bottom of the list start getting 30-50 points per day. And congratulations to everyone else here who recently leveled up or made a new b/p rank!
Congrats on the rankup, LC. Betcher movin' up the 51+ eh?
Congrats also to James on the rank/levelup and to MacBeth on the rankup.
And happy birthday to PZY and Crono!
Christ, tons of things going on. #;-}>

lol you should look up that list of how many points you need to rank up. becouse i'm not even close so i don't think you'll be there in no time =]
damn, well at least i have my dreams, right?
Hey, they're not just dreams. I hit Safety Patrol on January 11th 2003, and now, almost 1 year later, I've got 24,500 points.
Getting to 30,000 is gonna take a major investment of time, but it IS possible to get to it in around a year. Still, even with a 2 year estimate, at a more sane pace, you'll certainly get places fairly soon if you keep at it. So don't give up!

Changed my profile again, swapping from Wayne "Hawaii 501" Mardle to simple Hawaii Five-O... the quest for the ultimate sig pic is somewhat like the search for the holy grail. Or weapons of mass destruction.
did you mean ultimate profile pic? You haven't changed your sig pic in some time, have you? Again, I reiterate my missing of your old review-chart sigpics. What you do with your profilepic isn't as big of a deal since I don't see it as often. #;-}>
