I figure if we plan on reviving our lists and point system that this should come back up with it.
Ima start criticizing XD.
CLUB INFO
...............................
General Rules for Requesters:
If you are planning on requesting reviews, please:
- Post a direct link to the submission(s) you want reviewed.
Yes.
- Make no more than 3 requests within one week.
Yes.
- Only 1 audio request a week!
No. You're allowed up to 3 like all the rest, but 1 of them will be reviewed the week after you requested it, and the other extra one or two (depending on whether you requested 2 or 3 submissions respectively) would be reviewed the week after that. That's why we invented the Extra Audio Requests method; to still accept 3 audio requests but also give us less audio all in one week and give us more time to review.
- Do us a favour and respond to our reviews.
Not obligatory, but yeah, that'd be nice.
- Be patient. Due to the points system, you may not see reviews until up to two weeks after you request.
Unless it's more than 1 audio request, that is. Then you should see one of your requests 1-2 weeks after you requested it, and the others 2-3 weeks after.
- Do NOT request without posting a link.
Yeah...
- Do NOT just say "Review everything" or just link to your profile.
Yes.
- Do NOT request reviews for the same submission more than once.
Duh :P.
General Rules for New Reviewers:
If you are planning on completing requests, please do the following:
- Post in this thread to let us know you'd like to join.
- Understand the points system and keep track of your own score. You will only be added to the list if you post your own score within the first week.
That's all correct, except while you were gone a new rule was introduced that first you have to pass judgement from one of our members until you can start reviewing for the club, so you may want to add it there.
Points:
**Please also keep track of your own points. If you see something missing, it's probably a mistake**
As if anyone does that :P. It's not the end of the world if the updater makes a mistake on your stats; after all it's just a few points for the club.
**To be on the list, you must make at least one review, posters only will not be counted**
Yeah, but from then on, you can stay on the list by posting only, right?
5 points for a review on a requested movie/game
Yeah...
7 points for a review on a requested audio
That's new O.o. This is a rule from the old club, I think, and I don't know if we should add it to this new one or not. I personally disagree with it, since because audio has now become much more popular than art/flash, it seems useless giving extra points to something that there's so much to review of.
+1 point for putting "Review Request Club" at the bottom of a requested review
Yes.
3 points for posting at least once throughout the week
Yes.
5 points for referring a new member (must mention you in first post)
Yes.
7 points for reviewing all requests/recommendations for that week
Yes.
Club updates
Each Sunday or Monday, Supersteph54 currently create a list of all the members, counting up their points, calculating various stats and him or another member would post a list of requested submissions. Assuming you review the submissions listed, you will get points for them on the following members' update, 6 or 7 days later.
Corrections made ^.
On Thursday, Bezman currently creates a list of all requests and recommendations made up until then, since the previous thursday. This can be seen as a 'preview' of the list that will accompany the following members' update on Sunday/Monday. The points for these are tallied 10 days later.
That doesn't happen anymore...
FAQ
Should we have a FAQ?
I don't know. It kinda seems like overkill.
Should I link to the club in my sig?
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, NG will take you to the latest page, whatever it is.
So if you link to: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/4834 48/999
then anyone following that link will always see the latest page.
I don't understand what recommendations are all about!
As mentioned under this section in each list, 'You may make a recommendation if you reviewed 100% of the previous weeks requests and recommendations. It should be over 3 days old and have under 50 reviews.'
As long as your name is on the last 'All requests completed' list, feel free to recommend something you've enjoyed from the portal.
You could use this to let us know about something you think is specially awesome, yet overlooked. If there aren't many game or movie requests, maybe you could make a recommendation so we have something to review.
Does the Review Request Club review stuff for non-NG stuff?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: Milinko used to include youtube requests in the list of requests, but the introduction of a points system didn't leave room for such things. You can request reviews here, but some of us may not have accounts on Myspace/Youtube/whatever or may simply be disinclined to review things outside NG. It wouldn't get nearly as much attention compared to if it were a NG submission.
I'd suggest putting songs on the AP, then making a request that way. It lets us give feedback whilst staying on our favourite site. ;-)
Yes to everything in the FAQ, except that you should add the question "Do I have to review ALL the submissions listed?" and answer as "No, as many as you're comfortable with" or something. Anyway, in short, I'd suggest removing some stuff, adding some others and editing this a little to fit the new club rules. Unless of course someone wants to stick with the old rules...
--
Anyway, I was just about to go on this thread to post that I've started working on the spreadsheets for the list, since I think Sonofkirk left NG forgetting to send me the spreadsheets :P. Not much of a problem, they're not too hard to make, and I've almost finished them. Expect the update tomorrow, or maybe even Wednesday if I really have a lot to do.
