I'm going to try and become the site's Pop/Indie Rock-specialist.
Seriously, though, is it totally necessary to write a biography for a band to become a prog reviewer? Have everybody done this who is one?

Of course a good start would be to learn how to spell Collaborators 
/edit - thanks for correcting that

The tag "Expert" is not as common as you would suppose - we only have two collaborators with that title.
We do have some 20+ "Specialists" which has a slightly different meaning - someone can specialise without necessarily being an expert. |
should be 3

easy actually ...... wanna be a Prog Reviewer write good reviews Want to be more than that...reviews are not unnecessary..... necessary hahhaha. There have been several that got way up in 'rank' as you call it with like 5 or 10 reviews or less like in my case. I had none and was told to write them It is about showing you know prog.. and have an interest in getting involved in the site and working for the man so to speak. In short having an opinion.. sticking to it.... though being right or at least coherent helps as well. In all seriousness though... those kinds of posters are generally recognized by the admins or genre teams and then 'invited' to join as collaborators.
