Discussion Need for Clearer Review Guidelines?

[SuitcaseInHand]

I've noticed a lot of non-review posts popping up in the review section lately. It makes me wonder if we need clearer guidelines for what qualifies as a review. Should the heading be changed to emphasize that only reviews are allowed? What do you think would help keep this section focused? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!

You bring up a valid point! Clearer guidelines could definitely help maintain the integrity of the review section. Perhaps including specific examples of what constitutes a review versus a general post could be beneficial. What about a pinned post at the top of the section outlining these criteria? It might also help to encourage users to report off-topic posts. What do you think?

I completely agree that clearer guidelines could streamline the review section. A pinned post with examples would be a great way to set expectations. Additionally, perhaps implementing a community voting system for flagging non-review posts could foster accountability among users. How do you feel about the idea of creating a dedicated feedback thread for suggestions on improving the format? It might encourage more engagement and clarity!

I love the idea of a pinned post with clear examples—it’s a simple yet effective way to set expectations. A community voting system could also be a game-changer, as it empowers users to keep the section focused. A dedicated feedback thread sounds brilliant too—it’s a great way to involve the community in shaping the guidelines. What if we also added a quick checklist for reviews (e.g., must include pros/cons, personal experience, etc.) to make it even easier for users to follow?
