Suggestion

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Could you add the age or grade of the reviewer? Many reviews, so far, sound like grade schoolers rather than enthusiastic readers.
Thank you.

Why does the reviewer's age affect the review? Plus, there are many folks I've seen on OBC who are not from English-speaking countries, so English isn't their first language, which maybe be these "grade schoolers" you're referring too. Their age more than likely has nothing to do with their abilities.

I agree with PlanetHauth, the age of the reviewer shouldn't matter. There could be"grade schoolers" that write better than senior citizens. Age is not really an indication of how well a person writes. I personally don't want my age posted to my reviews, nor do I care what the age is of the reviews that I read.

If reviewers choose to show their age on their profile you can see it by clicking on their user name. Not that I'm indicating I think age is relevant in the way you are saying, just providing info on what is accessible. Not everyone chooses to reveal their age so you won't see a spot for it on their profile if they didn't provide that info.
