I was wondering if perhaps a cleanup of the reviews section is in order.  I like the guidelines set forth and it's very clear on how to write them.  However, you can really see who has and hasn't read/followed the guidelines set forth.  There are also some weapons reviewed more than once in there, so I was hoping maybe a cleanup of some sort for the reviews section could make it a little more useful to both veterans and newbies of this sport.

Moderators at least should have the ability to modify the names of the topics, as some of the spellings/listings are inaccurate/inconsistent.  If there are more than one topic for one kind of blaster, merging the topics together wouldn't be bad.

I also think it might be handy for the forum's overall organization to require the listings to say what brand they are, and then the technical name.  For instance, we could have the following listing:

Air Zone - 8 Dart Blaster
Nerf - CS-6 Longshot
Nerf - CS-6 Recon
Nerf - REV-8 Firefly

And so on and so forth.  Thus it makes browsing through the reviews section easier to sort by brand and then by the blaster type if we set the board to sort topics Alphabetically instead of the most recent topic first.  Reviews sections on forums often seem to take on more of an archival status, so listing things according to recency doesn't seem to make sense since the forum is probably used more for reference.

There should be a Directory... not just editing the titles, but there is no need for the "technical" name. No one uses it

The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.
