Would some of you adjudicators please look up what the fuck "incoherent" means?

In this context it means so poorly written that it is hard to understand, or just doesn't make sense. Like porn, ya know it when you see it.

I see nothing incoherent in your previous reviews.

Would some of you new to the board members take a look at the choices to reject a review and realize there isn’t always a perfect fit? It’s constructive criticism to make a review more easily readable, the review got published anyway and it’s not your review. Fuck outta here.

Incoherent is a catch-all choice for any reason that makes review difficult to read, understand, follow, etc. I've seen many reviews that look like a wall of text.

Hint: Learn to hit "enter" key to paragraph space. Makes things much easier to read. Adapt to your audience, don't make them adapt to you. If one is too lazy to paragraph space, then I'll be too lazy to wade through your wall of text. Hitting the reject button is easy. Make things easy for adjudicators, and they'll easily hit the green "approve".

Now go take a chill pill.....

Sorry I blew up guys. I slammed my margaritas too fast and couldn't handle the alcohol.

I can lighten up, but hope some of you will lighten up on struggling reviewers as well.

Paragraphs are a pet peeve of mine. I’ll reject every time for the reasons minnow said. They take 7 seconds to include and make the review more easily readable. That said, I’m ok with the reviews getting approved. Hopefully, a couple of rejections will lead to a better review next time. Constructive criticism makes the site better.

Also, the box where you enter the text of the review literally says “Use paragraphs!”

I’ve always figured that posters are fearful of the Enter key for a new paragraph. They mistakenly assume that hitting it will post the review, not give them a new paragraph.

But yes, the wall of text on those everlasting sentences are brutal

When I write a review I type it up in Word and then cut and paste into the review “box” on the site. Makes it easier than using a phone or even the web site on a computer. Have better control over spell check and paragraph’s.
