I rather enjoy the red carpet treatment I get at 5 star restaurants because I'm an official prog reviewer.  The free limos are cool, too!  Approve

Oh, THAT'S where Folly went!

I hope he gets better, but it doesn't look good;  Tony R. is pretty vicious with the sledgehammers.

Corpse, not crop. ErmmWink

What about when we fight with sledgehammers? That's mildly something worth being a collaborator. Stern%20Smile

Did inpraiseoffolly recovered from that, by the way? Ouch

I don't think it matters, anyway, that the rest of the PA population has privileges only 4 stars and up should have. Who cares if we can all edit our reviews? In grand scheme of thing, it probably makes for more accurate and more better reviews.

That's right, I said more better.

Hmm. I reported it three times over the past year - how's that for 'will be fixed in the near future'... Me thinks M@X has other priorities with respect to improvements at the moment.

I'm only joking, I actually do have a lot of sympathy for those who [were] unable to edit old reviews: because I personally really understand the embarrassment a hasty or useless review. I actually use the edit tool way more than I should.

I have a hard time understanding why it's such a big deal to the lot of you to become prog reviewers. All you get is a mention under your name 'prog reviewer' and the ability to write your own profile/edit your reviews. There's no glory, just a silly title. Just because you're a 'senior member' or a 'newbie' it doesn't mean you're any less worthy.
 
Easy for you to say Mr. Post-Rock Team

You really think I want that text there? I'd much prefer just being Jimbo, to be honest. It used to say 'post-rock specialist', but I asked Tony to change it to 'team', because I thought it was embarassing as I'm actually the furthest thing from a specialist of any sort. The text is there for practical purposes, so that people will know who to contact regarding post-rock related submissions/things.
 
I'm just joking around Jimbo. I guess I should have thrown a 'Wink' after my comment.

Ah, alright. The emoticons do come in handy since it's always a bit difficult to tell whether someone is joking or not when you can't see their facial expressions. Embarrassed

The fact that non-collabs can edit their reviews was definitely news to me, I wonder if the admins are aware of this.

Me too.... I have the key to success: find a coherent review-structure that you can always follow, that will help you perfect it and once you've mastered it you can focus in improving the actual content and grammar.... Then, even if you haven't achieved the latter goals like some of usTongue, you can start to write long reviews and then, voila, when you have a good number of reviews of varied artists, you'll be a reviewer...
 
Oh, and answering the poll, NO... until he writes a 5-star review of the right group and a 1-star review of the right band....Tongue

The thread's not there yet. That's why I suggested sending a PM to Erik or Tony (Glass House).

I intend to replace them all with superior reviews, doing them the justice they deserve. I guess i'm no prog reviewer yet, but by the time I re-write my first 23 reviews, I will be! If anybody can help, I would be very greatful!Smile



Earlier this week Glass House proposed (in Erik Neuteboom's lesser known bands thread) to start a thread where PRs advice non-PRs on how to write/improve their reviews. Drop these two a PM, there may be some advice waiting for you there...
