[DISCUSS] Feature: Anime Comments
Posted: Sun Aug 13, 2006 7:01 pm
The other day I submitted my first review for an anime. However, my intention for doing so was more so because I wanted to start adding my notes ... indicating what I thought about it. For my friends or people who check my mylist, so they could not only be able to see what I rated / voted an anime to be ... but actually what I thought about it.
So I began to wonder if others wanted to add their thoughts on an anime, not specifically for general consumption. Though never do, because they don't have as much to say as the "standardized" reviewer & format. I think that the general reviews under an anime should remain for the hardcore reviewers ... however, there should also be an option for mere reviewing mortals.
Maybe said "anime comments" will only show on their mylist. Maybe there can be an option to enable the display of anime comments on the anime page. Directly under the "Reviews" link, would be a "Comments" link (as it should have a lesser priority than actual reviews). The comments page would display like the group comments do (as a popup), with text limited to small entries. On the MyVotes page ... there can be a commented column. On the MyReviews page comments and reviews would be displayed together, arranged by the default Anime title column.

Maybe it would just be easier to mark a review as "private", "personal", or "general". General reviews can be voted on and viewed by anyone and get priority ... personal ones don't get voted upon, but can be publicly viewed (a link on the top of the review page which they'd click to display the list of submitted personal reviews, which are formatted in the same manner as the general reviews). The private ones would be only displayed from the person's myplace, myvotes, myreviews.
The links on the MyVotes page ... if review is general, would take them to the general review page. If it is personal would take them to the personal review listing, and if it's private will take them to a solitary review page. In the user's profile they can enable who is able to see the private reviews (guests, buddys, members, etc). The link on the MyReviews page would do the same.
---
I'm leaning more towards the latter implementation as it would be more user friendly. Since there won't be a separate system. Also there won't be an additional location to submit a review or comment ... there would just be an additional dropdown selection indicating "general", "personal", "private" on the review form (with the default selection being "general").
Anyway let me know what you think, and of course build / add to it (or take away some thoughts for that matter). I'll look forward to hearing your feedback. Til then, gone.
