Regular Pen Discussion / First Timers: Review format
-
Date: Mon, Jul 16 2007 21:45:08
This forum will be used to post reviews or questions about commercially available pens. Commercially available pens are pens that are manufactured by a large company, and sold to thousands (if not millions) of people. This forum should not be used for the discussion of Pen Mods (pen modifications). There's an appropriate forum for that.
When writing a review of a pen, it may be difficult to keep everything objective. Each person has a preference for pens, and their preference may influence the way they review a pen. To keep the reviews as neutral as possible, we've devised a format for submitting pen reviews. By following this format, you'll be able to keep your review more neutral and useful to other pen spinners. Please copy and paste the following into your post and fill in the spaces.

You don't have to fill all items out, and not all of them may apply. But the more information you have, the more useful the review will be. If you can't find a particular information, just leave it blank. Someone else may come after you with that information. You can then edit your post and add it to the original post.
