New: Set a minimum word count for reviews

All good points! And I like the idea of only showing the best stuff.

Switching it over!

I’m an outlier, generally I’m not a fan of lengthy reviews. This is not just here but across a lot of websites, a lot of the time its just the reviewer telling me what happened! Even professional journalists have a habit of doing this. Can we have a maximum word count?

Minimum word count 1. Maximum 3. Promote brevity.

I’ve posted four reviews so far - An Unearthly Child through Marco Polo - that I think are between 75 and 280 words, mainly pointing out aspects of the stories I enjoyed. Not sure if that’s too long, but it certainly doesn’t appear to be too short! :zany_face:

Quite often I look at reviews in order to decide whether to buy a big finish audio. Short ā€˜reviews’ seem to be an opinion of an episode without actually telling you anything.

I’ve noticed that reviews with less than 100 words are appearing despite my filter:

I’ve noticed it a couple of other times but forgot to say. I’ve just randomly looked at The Well and if I scroll down this is here:

(And its definitely the ā€˜filtered reviews’ bit.)

It’s possible there’s a slight disconnect between the way it counts words and the way the ā€œword countā€ displayed counts words - yes there are multiple ways of counting words, programming is such fun!!

I’ll look when I can :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
