I discovered a small typo.

last line  moe ->more

Where should I report these things in the future ? Some forums have a special place  for that so it doesn't mess around with the general (game) discussions

Best bet is probably to PM me to be honest - the review editing is my job (I've been neglecting it a bit recently actually - must get back to it later). Failing that, any updater or admin (anyone with Reloaded Crew under their avatar) can fix them. Sticking to PM's is probably a good plan - as you say, it avoids cluttering up discussions.

Oh Yeah.

You know me :angel:

probably not though

A public place where to report them, might be handy.
I hate to disturb the wrong crew member.

I say give'em all to Beef. :angel:

Seriously though, it might not be a bad idea with a sticky-thread in this subforum. That way others will know where to report such errors as well.
Furthermore, it is my opinion that Carthage must be destroyed.

Cough yes give em to Beef, I'm sure he can handle it. :angel:

But yeah a sticky thread in this subforum where users could report errors they may spot wouldn't be a bad idea.

There's no guarantee that they can be noticed soon enough that way. A thread specially for that or sending a PM's probably the best way for this.

I'd rather get a few PMs than see loads of posts in the game threads (there's a couple already, including mine before I was an updater) about the reviews.

@Raffles - "typo" is an abbreviation, surely?

Sure, but so are "gymn", "lab", and "pram", and you wouldn't use an apostrophe to form the plural of those, would you?

Hmm, the OED doesn't mention the correct plural form, but according to the examples it quotes, it ought to be "typos".
