#EdenTasks - Proofreading Program

no, i do agree that its a job, one that deserves compensation, but obviously to start with it was uncapped, but thats just one of the things that comes hand in hand with implementing new programs across the site.

But since Lauren has brought up the job/compensation thing I just wanted to bring up something that really only clicked in my head in the last half hour.

I just submitted a nightmare review to my mentor cherryredhead, as my mentor she is also my editor. (Im a mentor myself but love her fresh eyes that catch my errors as well as her support) As Im already an advanced reviewer she won't receive any compensation when I graduate. Well as far as I know she doesn't..

To the best of my knowledge she isn't yet approved to be an editor, but is performing the same task that an approved editor does, actually she goes above and beyond that, as do many mentors who work with adv reviewers. I think that mentors who are performing editor duties do deserve to be paid for their mini jobs

If this is already the case I'll shut my trap, but it only just ocurred to me so I wanted to bring it up

Thanks. So are you, of course. And I used to do the same thing with voting before I actually became an editor. Like, I'd see an error and vote good instead of excellent. Now that I'm actually seeing how hard it can be to catch everything and find ways to fix some things, I'm definitely more relaxed with it. With fragments, yeah. I just don't know. If it's a sentence that says something like "Not very loud." it's not actually a sentence; it's a fragment. But do I change it and add a verb or just leave it to preserve the writer's voice? Gah! Haha. less

I think it would be great if mentors got compensated for working with reviewers that are already Advanced, whether by points or GC. However, under the current system, your reviews would auto-publish, so no editor would work on your reviews. If the current "rules" were applied, only Advanced reviewers ranked below 5.5 would earn points for being edited. I think what Cherry is doing is great, and I think pretty much all mentors are happy to do the same, regardless of the reward. I would also guess that the programming would be a nightmare. less

So, I'm wondering if there's a glitch or if they've changed the limit or something? After editing one review, it says "No editor may review more than three reviews a day" (or something to that effect), but I've only done one. This happened yesterday, too, when I'd only done two. I thought it was just a fluke, but it's still doing it. I'm not sure who to message with this problem, either. less

Okay, that was weird. I managed to fix it, but I'm still not sure why the spacing was messed up. Since the review's spacing is now normal, I'll just try to describe what occurred.

For some reason, it looked like "enter" had been pressed mid-sentence all throughout the review. In other words, about mid-way across the screen, the sentences would suddenly truncate as though a new paragraph had been started (though it was mid-sentence).

When I checked from the editor's side, the spacing did not appear this way -- and there were no extra spaces to be found anywhere.

I fixed it by comparing back and forth between two screens: I had the review, as published, on one screen and my editor's version on another screen. I found each place mid-sentence where the spacing was messed up and hit the backspace key to close the gap (which joined two separate words together) and then hit the space bar to re-add the space I'd just removed. For some odd reason, this worked to fix the spacing (though for a couple of these sentences, I had to do this procedure twice for it to work).

Hope this helps anyone else who has this happen! That was odd. less

I think the weird points issue is related to the 'Atlanta Move" double points promotional. At first, new reviews submitted did not have double point values. And now that the promotional is over, it seems the point values have been halved. I sent JR an email yesterday informing him of the apparent points glitch. less

Just wanted to pop in and say that while the unassigned (usually 250pt) reviews are listed as "125 points" in the Task Market, and they show a +125 popup when you publish a review, if you check the EdenPoints record for the day, they are still showing up as 250 items. less

I'm having a similar problem. Whenever I try to take on a new task, I receive this message: "Each editor may not proofread more than 3 reviews a day." I don't believe it's an issue of reviews from previous days carrying over, as these are the first few reviews I've done for the program. I was under the impression that 10 reviews per day was the limit as well.. ? less
