The problem is, certain bloggers have different arrangements with us. Some have been doing offsites in a specific way for years, well before we put the current guidelines into effect. Some do "HNT" reviews that are primarily images. Some do JUST a video, no text.
NO reviewer has the right to say "you shouldn't have published this at all" and rate someone's editing badly.
The ONLY things you guys can edit (and, hence, the only thing you should be rated on for your editing) are the pros, cons, summary and check that the link leads to an actual blog with a post/review.
Anything that is on the actual site/blog is out of your hands and not your responsibility as editors to deal with. (It would be great if we could have y'all checking for word count and links but the fact of the matter is none of the editors know what arrangement we have with which bloggers so it simply doesn't work to have you do so. It ends up being far too much messing around when the bloggers then email me and say "wtf? I've been doing it this way for 2 years, why did this person tell me I have to do something different?")
So. In short.
Edit pros, cons and summary. Check that the link works. That is all. If something looks bad or incomplete to you, feel free to message either me or Jenn - I do sex blogs, Jenn does regular blogs and mom blogs. We'll take a look. But please don't decline offsite reviews or send them back.
Those who are rating - stop being so hard assed. The editors are to edit
onsite grammar, spelling and punctuation, ensure the review is readable, NOT mentor people or tell them they've written a bad review. We have NEVER edited the offsite portion of reviews. Ever.
All editors should be getting an email about this soon - at least that's what was in the plans last meeting we had to discuss it.
