I thought I still was...but I guess not? I was also a mentor.

My point is, unless every person that reviews is going to go through the mentor program and completely stick with what they were taught for every review they write, you're not going to get the results you're after.

I think when new reviews were getting 40+ votes, and this impacted rank and therefore assignments, people put every little detail in a review, making them very very very very very long. After reading those reviews, reviews that were shorter, but perhaps still just as helpful and certainly complete, were given useful votes instead of extremely useful votes. So, more people wrote longer reviews. The super long review isn't necessarily more helpful, but it's more "showy" and gets more attention.

I think the main thing that will change, is not including everything that is on the product page, because it's already out there for folks to know. Unless the product page dimension are off, there is no need to write a paragraph listing them in your review. I think in the past reviewers included that information to get higher votes, and I think it did impact the voting of readers. As long as those voting on the bulk of the reviews, which is a fairly small group, don't downvote for not seeing those things that are also listed on the product page, I think that the new shorter streamlined review plan will work fine.

I totally agree. I'd add more but you pretty much summed it up.

All mentors had to reapply after we relaunched the program. There's a stickied thread on the announcements and featured section of the forum.

Hey Howdy Hey!
I think this is the first time I have been on in awhile.
One thing I want to know is how will the rewards for mentoring go if we became mentors again?

I have already previously ordered from edenfantasys and received everything in very good shape and private. I am excited about getting in on more forum discussions in the future.

Same old, same old...old but good holiday plans. The usual marathon of family events and traditions.

That's really great you've been pleased with everything so far. I look forward to seeing you around the forum. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to give me a shout.

Ah, very cool. It's just going to be me and the hubby this year. I'm really looking forward to it. It's time for some peace and quiet around this house.

Take it easy! We'll be wrapping up here soon if no one else has any questions. I appreciate you hanging in and discussing these things with us!

I haven't thought of anything I'd like to ask, but I just had time to check my emails and they of course let me know that I'd missed out on this (and have surely missed out on a ton of other Eden fun).

Now that I've got a break from school, hopefully I can take some time to read through everything and catch up! I'm thrilled to hear that the mentor program has come back, and I just want to say hi (and that I should have time to get back on Eden! I've been so busy with my writing elsewhere that I have totally neglected everything here, and the Admin message made me realize how much I missed it).

Happy holidays to all as well! (and if I come up with any questions whilst trying to relearn how Eden works, I know what to do. )

Hey, surreptitious! All my Eden friends are turning up in this thread! This is exciting to see and even though I talk to most of you outside of here, I really missed the tight community we once had. Maybe this is the start of a new one (I sure hope so because the new people missed out on a great experience)? surreptitious, can you believe it's almost been a year since we met on here via your discussion on bra fittings?! I found Eden the day after Xmas while searching for glass toys to buy with a Visa gift card. I am amazed at the amount of toys and knowledge I have accumulated since then!

I still want to know why its so damn hard getting anything to review. It never used to be like this. I literally have tried 30 things. Theres no way that all those things eoukd be taken ? I also never got any responses on 2 different support tickets i submitted. I see that an admin actually tried to give me an assignment in octobet but i never even got an email or i would haave snatched it up!

My, question is, why is the site so screwy now? I havent been able to review anything, including buyouts, at all. For the last 8 months at least.

Please forgive the horrible wording.. apparantley my chrome app lacks spell check and im on my phone...

Hey cherry,

Assignments are approved once a week on a first come, first serve basis. Some items are not always available for review -- buyouts are always available to advanced contributors.

Support tickets should be created only if you are having an issue with an order. If you are having trouble with a review or assignment or anything else related to the community, please message me directly.

I did have another question. Are reviewer milestones still being rewarded or is that no longer happening?
