User Reviewers Recommendation thread
- Nov 17, 2008 1:50 pm GMT
The player review emblems are hand picked by the Community Team to avoid any emblem exploits. If you have a recommendation on an excellent user review writer or user video reviewer; please use this thread to alert us.
Recommendation Guidelines
1l Please be very clear about who you are recommending and if it is a VIDEO or WRITTEN review emblem. Now that we have a video reviewer emblem on the way, it is best to mention that you want us to check their user videos and not their user reviews.2. Please link to the user's contributions page for written reviews and link to their video reviews if you are recommending them as a user video.
3. If you plan to recommend yourself recommend someone else with your rsubmission. Otherwise, this becomes a self-centered thread, which is not the purpose of bringing awareness to good writers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Do I need to be recommended to receive an emblems?
A. It's possible to get the emblem without being recommended. This thread is just for suggestions.
Q. Can I recommend myself?
A. Of course! Recommending yourself is a good place to start. Before recommending yourself try to hunt down other users to post with your recommendation. Important: Only recommend users who have 6 or more written reviews.Q. Many people have recommended me! I deserve an emblem.
A. Recommending someone does not mean that they will receive an emblem. The community team are the one that makes a decision on who should receive a top reviewers emblem.
Q. Why haven't I received an emblem?
A. We will not share the criteria about how to receive a review emblem. Do some investigation! Check to see who has the emblem and then read their writing style and/or quality to your own. Grammar and spelling errors may be considered when we investigate written reviews.
Q. What is the difference between the emblems?
A. The Top 100 are more prolific. The Top 500 user may not have enough written reviews or they need to step it up on their writing skills. Video review emblem require enough videos to be considered.
Q. I want an emblem, give me an emblem, check out my reviews right away!
A. When you post your recommendations do not pester and private message staff or contact the moderators to check out a player review. This thread is the appropriate place to post your suggestions.

Now, to get a recommendation does the criteria matter if the recommendation came from a review from some time ago.
With me I multiple written reviews,and some from the past I thought were well covered, and I would like to know if those could even be taken out of contention for reception of an emblem.

I'd like to reccommend myself, as I am already in the top 100 and have been continuing to write reviews for almost every game I play.
Any particular reason why this process is being repeated?
Also, if you already have the emblem is it there to stay or is it likely to be removed for any reason?

[/QUOTE] But you already have the emblem, let alone the top 100 one, this thread is mainly for people who don't have it yet or those that think you qualify for top 100 instead of top 500. As for why this is being repeated might be because it makes it easier for them to keep track of all the recommendation.
[QUOTE="JodyR"]
[QUOTE="bacchus2"]I have a couple of questions about the emblems. Do people ever lose them? Are there strictly 100 and 500 of each emblem? And perhaps more importantly, is there a way that I can see who has this emblem aside from those I already track? (Though the nominations in this thread will be a good start)[/QUOTE] We haven't reached that many yet for each of the emblem categories. The idea would be to review the current reviews and remove them if/when the user no longer updates their reviews for many months. This would only happen if we reached 100 or 500 for an emblem.
[/QUOTE]
As for your last question here is the respond that Jody gave to another user with the same question.

"You get more when you do your best."
I like to nominate myself again for my written reviews. - Nov 21, 2008 7:09 pm GMT
Now playing: Assassin's Creed (360), Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (360), Pokemon: SoulSilver (DS)
*Deep breath* Ok, well I'm not expecting anything, but I guess I could nominate myself. I have nothing else to do, honestly. So I'll nominate myself, I have like 100+ reviews. Please view the following links of reviews I have written
I would also like to nominate Nutcrackr as another person who writes good and helpful reviews.
- Nov 25, 2008 4:00 am GMT
So, I don't exactly have an abundance of reviews (althought I'm building on them. Currently just finished playing CTDS and about to play Dragon Quest IV), but what the hey, I'll nominate myself.
Here's a few.
RuneScape (9/10...*raises flameshied*)
I hope they're at least semi-decent reviews, if not material for Top 500.
