Topic, Game "BLockoban"

tedious

Anyways, I don't see how OMG got caught up in this discussion. From what I saw, nobody was attacking him in the first place, and he has the same right to an opinion as any other player....

4. @OMR: COngratulations :D

5. WB Paulo? Idk if I'm too late,

6. @Rating I try to gauge how hard the level would be to a normal person and if I'm conflicted I go for the higher difficulty. If it needs to be easier I edit.

1. About negative criticism: I really like to see comments, negative or not. Especially if you rate a level 3 or lower, you darn well better post about why you did so or it's just a diss on the creator. From my experience levels are a hit-or-miss of sorts; some of my best levels IMO such as Thin Transfer (BLockoban) which I really enjoyed solving when I made it, are rated less than my other levels. I almost ALWAYS try to give an opinion to the designer, as it boosts morale and helps show them what is a "good" level and what is not. I also think that if you're going to give negative criticism, do it lightly. I usually try to talk as if I'm the person's best friend; if I'm going to say something bad about their level, don't just blatantly say the level is terrible, try to soften it some and most importantly offer suggestions. I actually like it when I get negative criticism sometimes as it gives an insight to how my levels are accepted by the community.

2. The thing about ages: I don't know if some critical message was removed or what, but I honestly don't understand it. If the younger players are showing maturity, I don't see why youth is any problem; if not, then fine, but like I always have said just ridiculing them doesn't fix anything; telling them what they're doing wrong, advising them, is what should be done.
Idk if It seems like I'm trying to be too mature...... :P

3. Those "optimization" levels: I don't play them, I don't rate them. Period. If I don't feel comfortable with a particular level, such as one of murat's really difficult ones like Traffic Lights (BLockoban), or an optimization-oriented (or often art levels like lmr's), I won't bother solving it, and I feel that it's then not fair for me to rate those levels. Maybe give an opinion, but not to rate.
