In addition to the limitation of the the permanant voring, I suggest that Writing a Review is only the possible if ending date is rached, that would be just consequent.
Exisitng Reviews shoudnt be deleted if possible, but marked as Written before ending Or Marked as Preview.
As an Option to write your opinion before ending date is reached a Preview option would be good.
Review when Ending date is reached/ Previews [tracked]

Re: [req]Review when Ending date is reached./ Previews
Hmm... you mean that if the end-date of the anime is set, every review written prior to that date should be marked "preview"?MaJutsu wrote:Exisitng Reviews shoudnt be deleted if possible, but marked as Written before ending Or Marked as Preview.
yeat, that is a logic consequence.
If the ending date is unknown ("?") all is preview.
When the Ending date is set and the (p)Review is written after that date it can corrected.
sry for my poor english i try it again:
Written Before Ending date: Preview
Written after ending date: Review
Written After Ending date, but isn't set: Preview until date is known

Currently, this wouldn't work properly, as no more than 20% (just guessing) of the animes have an end-date set, even though most of them should have one...MaJutsu wrote:yeat, that is a logic consequence.

But well, the situation may look better in a couple of weeks ^^
Hmmm..reading it over really quickly I was about to disagree. Looking at it a little closer, I can see how that would be useful.
Provided that many people "review" before the show has finished airing, it would look more appropriate to see preview instead of review in that circumstance (mostly since reviewers like me dislike reviewing/seeing reviews for a show before it is over).
The problem is: when the enddate is placed, will the "previews" be converted to reviews? That can be useless to someone who is looking for a review instead. Also,
Also, this might take hell in converting, right? The server would have to go through every review in the database, checking the date written, user, etc. And there would have to be another function added to the "myplace" list. (such as "mypreviews")??

If it's written after the show has finished airing - it's a review. Considering that a preview till date shown might also confuse those who just want to know what the beginning of the series is like.Majutsu wrote:Written After Ending date, but isn't set: Preview until date is known

I ment from the sight of the eningeIf it's written after the show has finished airing - it's a review. Considering that a preview till date shown might also confuse those who just want to know what the beginning of the series is like.
Sure after the show is finished it es a review, but if the Finishing date is unknown the site has to handle it as a preview.
When the date is known, it should be easy to convert, becase the engine has only to compare writing date to finishing date.
Only if the writing date is after the finishing date, everething else would be useless.when the enddate is placed, will the "previews" be converted to reviews?
Not really. Simply assign reviews a new flag ("is_preview") and let it default to false - no conversion needed.requiem wrote:Also, this might take hell in converting, right?

For starters, it'd be enough to mark previews with a special icon or whatever in "latest reviews", "my reviews" and the anime's review-section. Anything more sophisticated (seperating reviews from previews, functions to hide previews, changing the weight of preview-votes in the rating) could be done that way without too much hassle aswell.
Are you sure about that? Some of the ongoing long runs have decent reviews that would be worthwhile past that enddate feature.MaJutsu wrote:Only if the writing date is after the finishing date, everything else would be useless.
Fair enough. That'll make aniDB's reviewing system much more efficient as well. I'm all for it.wahaha wrote:Not really. Simply assign reviews a new flag ("is_preview") and let it default to false - no conversion needed.

True...but that doesn't make his/her opinion any less than anothers. Though they may not have seen everything, they might have better insight into what they've seen than someone who reviews the whole series really badly.MaJutsu wrote:An Article Written before the complete show is watched by the writer is a preview, because he don't know everythging that is to come.
This is also true, but it is still a Preview ^^True...but that doesn't make his/her opinion any less than anothers. Though they may not have seen everything, they might have better insight into what they've seen than someone who reviews the whole series really badly. Smile
The option du rate for a Review should be also for previews, so good ones get good ratings
