About the review, is it possible to give like half star? Sometimes I wanted to give like 3.5 stars instead of 4  stars, but there are only one full star when I dragged the rate scroll. & I just noticed about the image icon near the "Post Review" button. I wonder what's the function of that image icon. I haven't got a chance to try it, maybe I'll try to click that image icon on the next review later.

@Mr. iLL:
I see. So if using that screenshot there will be an image preview when the review is hidden by spoiler alert? Or the image preview appears even when spoiler alert is lifted?

That period, I used that because, unlike discussion section when adding a space is possible, on comments, item details & review the next paragraph would automatically be put right below the previous paragraph even if I added a space.  So that's why I put period (.) on the next line to create a space so people could read my long comment/ review more easily. I haven't checked again after this big update yet, so I still don't know if adding a space after a paragraph is now possible to do, or I still need to add a period to make a space between paragraphs.

Btw I just tested the image upload on the review & I think it's a cool idea, as that can be used to show where the bugs are. But this feature probably might need more upgrades. For example, I added a review here: https://beta.gamemaps.com/details/27040 . On that map mod, originally I planned to add several images at once because there were some small bugs at different locations. But when testing the upload, I found out that this feature only allowed one image. So I improvised by editing the images first & then I uploaded as one image.

Probably if this image feature can use multiple images, it would be cool as I won't have to edit if I have several images to post on a review. Well I think that's all I said for today. I hope that this info could help improve the review feature.

To add what kurochama said about images. It would be better to make images open in popup window like it is now in mod page. Currently in review when you click on image it opens in new tab.

hey kurachama!
thank you so much for using my friend's map as an example.
perhaps this will help inspire him to continue working on it.
i'm sure he'll really appreciate your feedback, thank you!

@greenhood: That pop-up window is also a good idea. I've also seen that many sites use that feature too, especially image-hosting sites.

@Trunten: No problem. I actually planned to give a review there sooner or later when the review feature was back online. I did the review because that map is one of good maps I ever played. I hope that my review could help improve that map.
Btw you could also share some ideas from uploader's/ author's view about review feature if you want. So far I could only give ideas as someone who made reviews, & I still haven't checked how a review looks like from author's/ uploader's view, like what review settings are available as the uploader/ author who received a review. Probably there are some review settings from uploader's/ author's side that you might want check in case if there are also some parts that need improvements about review management from uploader's/ author's view.

Btw about review feature, I forgot to ask. Are there any prerequisites to make a review? On the old review feature, if I'm not mistaken the review feature was without prerequisite so even a brand new member could give a review. & that was also what led to "troll review incident" in which lots of new members (more exactly new accounts made by one or some persons) put lots of 1-star review on contents they disliked. & that incident gave great disadvantage to the uploaders/ authors who became the victim of troll reviews as it might ruin their reputation although actually their contents were actually not that bad.

I wonder if there's a countermeasure for "troll review" like that on this new review feature.

Trust me, I've brought this up to iLL many times, but it sounds like he insists on continuing to try to give reviews a chance.
Even just simple basic thumbs up or down would be sufficient enough.
Yea, even that could be abused, but at least it wouldn't knock down any legit scores.
It would just simply show X or Y number of thumbs up or downs... and perhaps over a period of time they could still be pruned.
Think of it like a job you work in real life where they use a "points system".
For example, if you're late or call off, it adds up (or down?) and you lose points...
However, after some time, like a few months for example, it "resets".
We already have the ability to leave regular normal comments, there was nothing wrong with that (for the most part).
And at least we had better control of it and could delete abusive comments (including social banning users).
But with reviews, they'd still be stuck there unless you ask Rayman or iLL to moderate.
Removal of being able to report users was just one big mistake but at least they realized that and it's returning.
And they seem to have learned their lesson with the big mistake of guest comments.

I'm glad authors can reply to reviews as the last time I looked I still have a very negative but very old review of Left 4 Dead 2.75 at the top, and the way I see it that is so outdated it really isn't fair to me.  Don't get me wrong I don't think I deserve special treatment, but right now it gives the impression that mod which is actually quite highly regarded here and on Steam is trash.  But it was the very first version of it reviewed (the current version is 3.1), and that was years ago!

Since I'm retired it doesn't matter what people think of my stuff as much anymore, but authors that are still active could be affected negatively by bad reviews obviously.  It might discourage them from making more mods, so it is great they can now rebutt the bad reviews.

Kudos also to the staff for having half stars allowed in reviews by the way.

@mr. iLL:
I see. So, does that mean that if a  member has a bad reputation as a reviewer, that member won't be able to  post review until he/ she gains better reputation?

& thanks a  lot for implementing the half stars. This will make the star rate more flexible.

Btw I wanted to report something strange about the star rate on certain map mod. I discovered this when I wanted to try a map: https://www.gamemaps.com/details/27093

As we can see there, it's still a new map with few comments & no review yet. But somehow when viewing that map from old site, it already has one-star rate. When I check other mods that are not rated yet, they still showed zero star. The preview is like this:
=====

(View from old site)
=====

(View from beta site. The review box was still empty there)
=====

I wonder if this is kind of a bug or not.

Btw I haven't checked via beta site yet, but is the ability to reply a review already implemented now? I got a reply notification from my review & there was one replying. & when I tried to reply him on my review via old site, I could reply him too.
