Editing a Review

When a new review is written, it can be either "saved" as a draft or "posted" to the public. Drafts are not visible to the public.

While drafting a review...

  • you can discard the draft by clicking the "discard" button.
  • you can save your progress by clicking the "save" button.
  • you can preview what the review will look like by clicking the "preview" button.
When a posted review is opened, edited, and then saved as a draft, a copy is made which is attached to the original. This "draft copy" keeps the original review publicly accessible while allowing you to edit the draft copy. Reposting a review is called "editing" the review.


NOTE:
You can delete drafts. You can "hide" but not "delete" a posted review. Editing a posted review permanently hides the previous version of the review and nullifies any quality ratings, approval ratings, and comments made on the previous review. Hidden reviews are accessible by yourself and the moderators.

The fields in the edit review form are as follows:

  • "Personal Impressions": required, the bulk of the review
  • "Game Design Achievements": optional, list of notable game design achievements
  • "Game Design Flaws": optional, list of notable game design flaws
