Improve the comment box please

This whole new rank and fame system is designed to improve the quality of comments and ratings so I feel it is apprpriate for you to improve the comment box. Perhaps you could change it to be more like the reply boxes here on these forums. You could have a basic box and then a "go advanced" feature too. It definitely needs an EDIT feature.

Please see here for a related thread which talks about how the comment box is bugged:
http://www.mmorpgforum.net/showthread.php?t=888

And here is a quote of myself, talking about improving the quality and meaningfulness of ratings people give:

Quote:
Is there a guide to rating anywhere?
It should have 4 parts and say something like this:

A guide to rating:

Content: this deals with such and such. Example: blah blah.
If you think their content was terrible rate a 1, if it was lacking and could use improvment give a 2 ... if you think it was outstanding and mind blowing, giv ea 5
Creativity: This deals with the artistic value or blah blah. Is this video exceptionally unique and ground breaking? Give a 4-5. If it's all been seen before and a clone of 100s of other videos, give a 1-2
Editing: How professional is the video? Is the editing annoying or enjoyable? Does it add or subtract from the movie?
A/V Qual: Did the music appeal to you? Was the voice acting (if applicable) easy to understand? Was the video tiny and hard to see or was it large and clear? Perhaps make a new category for music choice and leave this for audio and visual quality, size/resolution etc.

ETC ETC.

Once you were eligible to reach the value of Fame: 2, you could be automatically sent a PM asking you to read the guide and answer around 2-5 multiple choice questions to show you'd read it. Once completed, you would be given Fame: 2 and would be allowed to comment and rate movies.

What do you Admins think?

Interesting ideas here Blacktrap. The script restricting people below 2 fame to rate is working as we like and we do believe most of them will have the maturity to make constructive posting when they reach 2 fame. Clear indicators for what the different variables means will be implemented shortly and we will continue to improve on the comment feature in the near future.
