How To Add Your Product Review

[Dave 1]

Yes, ModSquadHockey has its own forums (w/ subforums) for product reviews. MSH's (upcoming) collection of reviews will provide hockey players with easy-to-find information on any piece of hockey equipment.

Here is a short summary of our review system:

~ All members of MSH are welcome to review any hockey-related product.
~ All reviews must meet predefined standards and be compliant with our Terms Of Use and have to be approved by a moderator of MSH (see below for details).
~ Reviews cannot be discussed in the review section.

If you want to add your own review to our review section, please follow the steps below:

STEP 1

Step 1 has been changed, simply go to the appropriate review forum and start your topic. Please be sure to follow the same naming convention and format when writing your review.

STEP 2

Your review is posted just like any post in an existing topic. Go to the appropriate subforum and open the topic that names the product you want to review. Click the Reply button to add your review. Before you start to write down your review, please take note of the following rules:

1. Please only review products that you have thoroughly tested! A review of a stick that you have used 3 times or of a skate you haven't even broken in has no value. 3 months use should be a good clue for any product.

2. All reviews must reproduce the exact name and specs of the reviewed product (e.g. name, flex and curve of a stick).

3. If useful, you should give a short impression of the reviewer's specs. For example, a stick review is more useful when you know the size and weight of the reviewer.

4. All reviews should be divided into sections as suggested below:

For sticks

Blade
Shaft/Flex
Stickhandling/receiving passes
Shooting
Weight and balance
Durability
Intangibles
Conclusion

For skates

Fit
Blade/Holder
Weight/Protection
Durability
Intangibles
Conclusion

For protective equipment

Fit
Protection
Weight
Durability
Intangibles
Conclusion


5. The final rating of the product and (if possible) the ratings for each section are made on a 0 to 10 points scale.

STEP 3

Once you have finished and posted your review it will not appear instantly. MSH moderators will receive an email stating that a review has been posted. The moderator will then verify if your review meets the standards mentioned above. If this is the case, he will approve your review and it will appear in the review section. If it does not, he will tell you what has to be redone.

Please do not reply to topics in the equipment review area unless you are also contributing a review. All other responses in this are will be deleted, regardless of their quality.
