I fear a more popular Hyperbolus would have reviews devolve into hotheaded remarks about levels — similar to in-game comments — especially if an integration mod was published to the Geode index. The more weight this place holds on the community, the more incentive there is to use reviews as a “super dislike” or get people to review bomb. Those people wouldn’t have to justify anything since reviews can be left blank, and as long as they’re not as obvious as the troll accounts that have popped up, it seems like they would get away with it. It would be cool to see more levels get reviewed, and I assume scores would better represent the wider GD community. Still, I can’t imagine the average quality of reviews, especially written reviews, taking anything but a nosedive in the future, which makes me sad. The people who craft great reviews here are why I keep coming back, and shaped me to view and critique levels in a more constructive light. There’s not much else like Hyperbolus in the community, and I’d hate to see it watered down.
