I just want to clarify that it was not a serious suggestion with the intent to make a case for change, just idle speculation on a theoretical solution to the phenomenon of people submitting a ten or twenty essentially meaningless reviews at a time. That is to say, I'm almost entirely certain that any change intended to try and wring better reviews out of people would fail in practice, but could be interesting in theory. After reading your post, I would agree that having multiple sliders would end up being an equally pointless endeavor, as they would either be too vague to be useful, or too specific to have only a few of them. One possible upside would be ease of use for any possible venture into a multilingual site (since it's easier to translate the names of sliders than entire reviews,) but I doubt that outweighs the negatives right now.
In general, I would also prefer it if people just used the text box for its intended purpose, but it seems pretty clear that some people have no interest in doing so.

It is certainly a neat idea and would work wonderfully in theory, but I fear the large majority would not use it properly, or at all for that matter. The multilingual point you bring up is interesting, I had not considered the effects of a change like that on non-English readers. I think it would ease a translation of rating between languages, so this is definitely an upside to a change like that.
All in all, it is certainly something to consider if there is ever a demand for a change like that. We will keep it in the back of our minds for now! Of course, we encourage everyone to "think out loud" about changes to Del-Fruit so we can discuss the possibility of such changes. There are no stupid questions or wrong answers here! ...unless you keep asking us to make a game un-private what the hell guys
Edit: Yes, I wish people would use the text box for its intended purpose, too :(

Hello Del-Fruiters!
We have very exciting news for this month's featured Wannabe! Can you guess who it is?
This month's featured streamer is ... the ever-famous Kamilia!
Kamilia's desire to produce quality content for the wiki has vastly outdone the Western community's attempts at making anything nearly half as good. Kamilia is known for being involved in the production of the most popular, most liked, and most fun game series known as "Kill the Kamilia" ... 1, 2, and 3! Arguably the best fangame player to ever grace I wanna be the guy games, this multi-talented individual has earned himself a spot on the Wannabe of the Month. In fact, to honor such a tremendous achievement for an incredible player and producer, the following 12 months of this award will go to Kamilia without any contest, effective immediately. You can find him over at www.twitch.tv/kamilia_twitch, so give him some love!
Congratulations, Kamilia!
