Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Got in at least 1 review for the week, need to try getting them all done this week when the list comes out.

NOTE - READ THESE RULES, EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY READ THE RULES IN THE FIRST POST. THEY ARE AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE RULES IN THE FIRST POST AND THEY HAVE NEW IMPORTANT RULES!

Hello! Welcome to the new Review Request Club thread. This thread is meant to give the club a fresh start and make it a pleasant place to stay. In order to do this, it goes without saying that you must follow the regular BBS rules and read the C&C Advice Thread before posting if you are new to this forum.

This club aims to increase the exposure of the most under-rated Newgrounds music, art and flash artists. The other major purpose of the club is to offer the Newgrounds artists high quality feedback so they can constantly improve their work.

To the requesters:
Every Newgrounds user is allowed to request a review as soon as he submitted something. To get your work reviewed, don't post here without thinking but follow these few rules:

- Post a direct link to the submission(s) you want reviewed.
- Make no more than 3 Flash and Art requests between two updates (that's one week), and no more than 3 Audio Requests between 5 updates (that's four weeks).
- Please respond to reviews, reviewers like it and some of them are statwho... oh wait, interested in stats.
- Be patient. Due to the points system, you may not see reviews until up to two weeks after you requested, or if you requested more than 1 Audio submission, you may not see reviews on your second submission up until 3 weeks after you requested, and you may not see reviews on your third submission up until 4 weeks after you requested.
- Do NOT request without posting a link, be kind, reviewers are not robots.
- Do NOT simply say "Review everything" or just link to your profile.
- Do NOT request reviews for the same submission more than once.
- Do NOT request reviews for a submission with over 50 reviews.
- Do NOT request reviews for spam. Spam is only there to annoy, not to be critically analyzed.
- Unless you are a club member, only request reviews for YOUR OWN submissions.

To the reviewers:
If you want to join the club and complete requests, simply post in the thread saying you would like to join. Then, regular members will go through your reviews and determine if they are good enough to be part of the club. Your reviews are required to be helpful, developed and well-organised. If you need help with writing good reviews, read Fro's guide to writing helpful reviews.

Once you are accepted, you can start reviewing stuff. If you are a new member of the club, once you understand how the point system works, please post - one or two days before the update - the total points you've earned during the week. This is considered as a sort of application form, and if you fail to do so, you will NOT be added to the club.

Points System:
List updaters will keep track of each member's points in order to build a list. You don't need to post your points before each update but you can keep track of your score on your own so any error can be fixed. This is how points are counted:

5 points for a review on a requested submission (movie, game, art, or audio).
1 point for writing "Review Request Club" at the bottom of a requested review.
3 points for posting at least once throughout the two weeks.
5 points for referring a new member (must mention you in first post).
7 points for reviewing all requests/recommendations between two updates.

Club Updates:
Each Sunday or Monday, a list of all the members is created, counting up their points, featuring various stats and posting a list of requested submissions. Assuming you review the submissions in that list, you will get points for them accordingly in the following members' update, around a week later.

Don't forget the lists are built and updated by humans so it may be possible the update is delayed due to various real life reasons. If it ever occurs, don't get mad; calm down and wait :).

Frequently Asked Questions:

Should we have an FAQ?
I don't know. It kinda seems like overkill.

Why a new thread?
The main idea was to give the club a new and fresh start. Since the old one was flooded by requests and not updated any more, the RRC regulars thought creating a new thread would be best for the club.

Should I link to the club in my forum signature?
There's no obligation to do so, but it's certainly appreciated. Remember that you can put a high number in place of the page number in the URL and if that page doesn't exist yet, Newgrounds will take you to the latest page, whatever it is. For example, "http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/107 2042/999" will take you to the latest page of this club.

RRC Signature?
Yes, at the end of each review, if you want you can write down 'Review Request Club'. There is no obligation to do so, but you'll get +1 point if you put the RRC signature in your review. You can add anything you want to it, E.G.: *Review Request Club*, |Review Request Club|, -Review Request Club-, etc, but as long as 'Review Request Club' is clearly written, you will get the point. You are also allowed to add the sig in any reviews other than requests in this club, as long as you are a club member yourself. It's all the more exposure for the club, and it's very much appreciated.

+1 point if I put the RRC signature in my review... I'm not sure if I get it correctly.
You gain 6 points for a review on a request with "Review Request Club" in the end of it, as opposed to 5 points if you hadn't added the signature at the end. If it's still not clear, read this.

Does the Review Request Club review for non-NG stuff?
No. It must be an NG submission. If you have a non-NG submission which you would like us to review, then use your common sense and upload it to NG. Also, we will only review using the 'Write a Review' method on submissions. We won't send reviews by PM, review in your newspost or review in any particular thread of yours.

Do I have to review all the requests?
No you don't have to, just do your best :). Though completing them all will give you 7 extra points.

Which requests should I review?
If you want to get points for the next member's update, look for the latest requests list in the club thread and review the requests from that list. If you review any requests from various posts in the thread which would have been posted after the latest requests list, you will be getting points for the member's update after the next one.

can u review allz mah flashz guise? kthxbai.
No.

If you have more questions, feel free to post about it in the thread or PM a member and if your question is frequently asked, it'll be added to the FAQ.

That's all about the club, though this new version of the club couldn't be opened without mentioning the old thread regulars who have made it a great place to spend time. Kudos to Freelance-Magician for creating the original club and to milinko959 for maintaining it for so long. Thanks also to Sonofkirk for starting this new thread and doing many updates.

Have fun!

I uploaded it to MediaFire as a txt file a while ago. Here it is.

Finished all audio reviewing except for the extras, plan to get more tomorrow as well. On another note, it's been snowing here all weekend.

Sorry for delaying. Had a lot going on.

I'll get it done ASAP.

Requests list, 25 requests strong. Audio Requests are as usual dominating over the Flash/Art Requests with a ratio of 4:1, but we've had worse.

Have fun reviewing, everyone. I'll update later on today.

Please wait until next month before requesting again :).

Member's Update, as promised. A big improvement this time round. Excluding me, only three people were inactive, and we got a new member, horsebugger.

Not only that, but Rabid-Animals managed to join SeeD419 for this week's 100% reviewers. Sixflab, although getting closer to four weeks of inactivity, is also getting close to the 2000 points milestone, and Haggard is only three points away from his 7k milestone.

A lot of other members helped out, some doing a few here and there, and others doing a considerable percentage of the requests list. SCTE3 deserves a mention for doing all of the audio requests, and Rory did exactly half of them. horsebugger also helped out by doing four reviews. Celx-Requin also did one review. Lastly, since Coop only reviewed one Flash Request and one Art Request, Haggard beat him for this week since he did all of the Flash/Art Requests and a few Audio Requests.

As a side note, the sole Flash Request of this week got 7 RRC reviews :D.

By the way, to horsebugger, you got 27 points, not 24. You must've forgotten to count the 3 points for posting throughout the week.

Anyway, nothing that bad to say about this update. Enjoy!

Welcome to the wagon horsebugger, although I'd suggest just making your reviews maybe 1-2 sentences longer. Aside from that you do have a few nice reviews.

Not only that, but Rabid-Animals managed to join SeeD419 for this week's 100% reviewers. Sixflab, although getting closer to four weeks of inactivity, is also getting close to the 2000 points milestone, and Haggard is only three points away from his 7k milestone.

Quite a few close to milestones, good job.

A lot of other members helped out, some doing a few here and there, and others doing a considerable percentage of the requests list. SCTE3 deserves a mention for doing all of the audio requests, and Rory did exactly half of them. horsebugger also helped out by doing four reviews. Celx-Requin also did one review.

Thanks for the mention.

Hi RRC!

I'm about done now with my requests and such, and I'm done with my semester in about a week. Since I go really far to go to school, I don't have much time to write anything. I still manage to read and respond to every review that is given to me, even the negative ones.

As my semester ends, I'll probably be up for doing a bit of reviews, and maybe I'll give a try this week. You could even call me a member and add me to the list, if you believe I'm up for the task.

To make it clear : I'm joining, thought I might not do much reviews until next week. Hope you don't mind!

On another note, I've got another song I'd like you guys to review. It's a bit of a personal song I made for a friend, who trips for jazz fusion. It's a bit hard to grasp, so I'm taking you guys for a test drive and see if you can capture the essence.

You don't have to like it though, I'm not forcing anyone to love it, I just don't want anyone to react to it such as "You don't know what Jazz is", or other moronic replies like I've heard on this site.

Of course, I believe that you guys can manage this, otherwise I wouldn't post it here. So without further due, I present to you this:

Oh it's alright, instead of being angry about it, you could have simply posted during the week saying you had been doing reviews on the list.

Welcome back then!

Now, Stepha (lol, I still remeber your old nickname) and you can add me to the update now... :)

See you on the next week's update then.

I'm back! Watch out guys!! Muahaha >:)

Um, ok. Have fun reviewing again.

That's just because you haven't posted your points at the end of the week.

Do a few reviews from the above list, and calculate your total points (you can see the points system in the first post of the thread) and you'll be added, by all means.

Not a problem. When you're ready to join, like I said above, post your points in this thread before I do the update.
