CAA Manga Review Database Rule Change

Postby Ashley » Mon Jun 06, 2005 7:35 pm

After consulting with Mithrandir, I've decided to change the rules regarding series completions.

From this point on, we will not accept ANY reviews unless you have read the entire series (and you must specify if you have read them all if they have not been fully released yet). Otherwise I will simply delete your review.

The reason for this is there is no viable way to continually update the database with reviews, so I'm sorry but we're going to have to stick with complete ones.

ALSO, after consulting with Gypsy, I have decided to run our database exactly as she runs hers. And that means in addition to no incomplete reviews, it means if the series is officially being released, we will only accept reviews for the official text. Only if a series is unlicensed may a review be based on scanlations. I know this will severely limit the number of reviews we will have at the moment, however quality is far more important than quantity, and the official licensed material are what people will be reading.

I do hope you guys will continue to bear with me managing this database. I'm sincerely sorry for all of the confusion I may have caused, and to the best of my abilities this will be the last change made. I'm trying to do the best I can and make the best decisions I can because when it comes to serving the Lord, I'm not cutting corners. Reviewers, thank you all for your patience and considerable graciousness to me during this process.

Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have about it, and once again you can find the database at

So does this mean you can't accept my Please Save My Earth review?

Shouldn't this apply to the ANIME database as well?
