I was confused by this yesterday, I saw the text field but no announcement of a new feature anywhere. I think it'll be a good update

Am i correct that these will be private comments only, and not public comments affixed below each review?

Hopefully this won't lead to a slew of negative comments, with consequent reports to the Admin team ... Don't get me wrong, I think this new feature has the potential for being a good thing, but I can't help being worried about abuse.

I get just as much "you're an idiot" feedback as I do "that was an awesome review."
Might as well make it easier for both.

I must have been lucky so far, because I never got any 'you're an idiot' feedback ... It doesn't mean that people don't think so, though !

Hm. I have never gotten any feedback. Maybe somebody will read one of my reviews and let me know, now.

This explains the PMs. Fortunately they were positive.

I have done 3 things I hope to prevent that.
1. The comments are not public 2. Comments are only from members 3. The comments are sent by PM (no email warning yet)
If time prove that this is a bad move, it is easy to shut down. But I dont think it'll be necessary. Proggers can be civilized (sometimes)

I already abused the system, but it one of Epignosis' reviews, so it doesn't count. No seriously, it's a nice feature, hopefully it garners a lot more positive response than negative.
