Critics are members who demonstrate an indepth knowledge and enthusiasm for customizations through their high quality feedback to artists and developers who submit their work on the site. Most critics are developers themselves, with development experience and knowledge of design processes. Critics have different personalities - some generous, some strict - but all provide valuable guidance to artists.
How Critics are Distinguished
Assessments by critics are separate from those of non-critics and appear at the top in the Assessment results box. While they are given increased prominence, critic assessments are counted the same as non-critic assessments in determining the overall rating of a submission.
How Critics are Chosen
Critics are appointed manually only following a unanimous decision by moderators based off the member's feedback history. The amount and frequency of exemplary feedback by the member is the most important factor in this decision.
Becoming a Critic
Before being considered for critic status members must exhibit a high standard of feedback on a consistent basis and achieve exemplariness on numerous occassions. |

Benefits of Exemplary Feedback
There are a number of benefits to achieving exemplariness:
- Any assessment by the poster automatically becomes a critic assessment, even if the poster isn't a critic. Critic assessments are separated from other assessments and given greater prominence (but they still count the same).
- The post is made prominent in the feedback area by a green tick icon.
- Points are awarded to the poster.
- The member's EF counter statistic is incremented.
How to attain Exemplariness
You can attain exemplariness by making detailed, honest but polite feedback and testing a submission before assessing it. Don't be afraid to give a hard assessment, as provided your feedback is justified, you have a higher chance of achieving exemplariness and critic status. Moderators should read the Exemplary Feedback ModDoc for guidelines on bestowing exemplariness.
Exemplariness and Critics
There is no automatic relationship between exemplary feedback and critic status. Typically a user is promoted to a critic after they exhibit enough exemplary feedback, but there is no automatic threshold. Critics are promoted manually by moderators (and demoted in the same way). |
