I managed to get them down from about 127 to just above 90 but they've started to rise again. In the main they're bad, I guess people don't like to give bad reviews. You'll play a few bad ones and then an ok one will come along that you then over rate as it's just so much better (even just a better concept) than the rest of them. Like losing a fiver then finding five pence. On the flip side I probably didn't have much patience for ones that I could have perservered with. I tried not to be too harsh but it's hard when virtually zero effort has been put into something.

Thanks for your efforts. I think we should encourage bad (but constructive) reviews - it's the only way authors will know to try harder.

I agree. I'll try and be more constructive than scathing in future.

I suppose I reviewed them from a 'should the audience play this' pov rather than a 'how can I encourage the author' pov. Perhaps I can delicately do both.
