Is that not the purpose of a re-review; to get feedback on a modified version of your level and make sure you didn't misinterpret a judge's review? The way I see it, re-reviews actually do more to help users improve on level design since it allows them to keep working on the same level until it's done right rather than have to make an original level each time they wanted feedback.witchking666 wrote:Why are re-reviews still a thing.
Yeah I know that you can make your level better after a review and get a better score, but is that truly the purpose of the levels forum?
In my opinion it isn't. I think the levels forum isn't a competition on who can get the highest score for their level design, I think it rather is to get feedback on your design and make better levels in the future.

People handle it like "alright I need a second review" rather than "hey guy who reviewed my level can you take another look", though. IMO Re-reviews shouldn't warrant a move back to the levels forum but rather a PM to the judge who did the initial review who will then revisit the level and adjust their score and give some more feedback (maybe move the level too idk).Imaynotbehere4long wrote:Is that not the purpose of a re-review; to get feedback on a modified version of your level and make sure you didn't misinterpret a judge's review?

I'd agree with this change to the system, since I think it also makes more sense and would be simpler to manage and more efficient than the previous oneEnjl wrote:People handle it like "alright I need a second review" rather than "hey guy who reviewed my level can you take another look", though.

A lot of people, including myself, enjoy the competition. Those who don't can post in Casual Levels instead. I'm also pretty sure that Valt said that there's no chance of completely abolishing the categorization of levelszlakergirl357 wrote:I honestly feel we shoud just remove the whole "move a level to a certain category" since it just promotes competition as other people had already stated.

I don't think competition is really the biggest problem (since it really doesn't happen to begin with) and it's more to do with threads dying. I agree though ofc.zlakergirl357 wrote:I honestly feel we shoud just remove the whole "move a level to a certain category" since it just promotes competition as other people had already stated.
Doesn't change anything.Supershroom wrote:How about a star rating system where all users can give 1 star (bad) to 5 stars (good) to each level?
Though that would require abolishing all level categories and mass coding ...
Nobody is even competing. They just post a level they made and if they actually tried, they just hope it gets somewhere above The Trash Can. It's a waste of time because the levels mostly end up in The Trash Can, Average, or Pretty Good which don't need to stand out from normal topics because they're categorically normal topics.PixelPest wrote:A lot of people, including myself, enjoy the competition.

I find fun in the competition to try to get a high score. What's wrong with that?Enjl wrote:zlakergirl357 wrote:what happened to those days when people just wanted share levels for fun?
For that you can participate in the gazillion contests which are held here every hour. It's not like there's a certain drought of events based around competition.PixelPest wrote:I find fun in the competition to try to get a high score.
