The auto-publish feature was not instituted 1 week ago, that's the difference. My guess is that review is following the traditional path to getting published. Your latest review followed the new guidelines and auto-published since your rating is higher than 5.5.

I have a few assigned reviews I submitted over a week ago that haven't published too...I don't think that's a glitch, I just think that the staff has a lot on their hands right now. This happened about a month ago as well.

The answer here, should be yes. It looks like these reviews are only about half publishing right now, but this will be fixed.

This is correct.

All reviews from before the release, are currently playing by the 'old rules'.

Thanks for all of the clarifications Gary. By the way, welcome back to the Monday after a holiday and a prematurely released site feature. Keeping you busy enough?

Thanks for the info, Gary.

Patience is a virtue. I know you guys are busy as heck, with the new publishing stuff AND the Thanksgiving Break at the same time.

I will publicly admit that I'm the one that voted the editor as poor. It had nothing to do with your review's usefulness. There are a lot of misplaced commas, lack of commas, and run-on sentences - all of which are things that MS Word will not catch which is why we have editors in the first place. Catching spelling errors is a no-brainer; we could have a program do it. According to the editor guidelines, things that should be looked for includes run-on sentences, lack of commas, and misplaced commas. Thus, the presence of them would constitute a poor job.

Plus, as I don't have a before/after review to see, all I see is the finished product. She may have spent twenty minutes editing the review, but I have no clue; I just see the final product.

Regardless, I thought I should explain my reasoning so this wasn't assumed that I was low-voting out of spite. I'm not. However, since we don't really have any "voting" guidelines, I just took what was in the editor guidelines and assumed those things should be present after a review is proofread.

to be honest i did not even look tp seewho voted (if you can evendo that.lol) and I understand what you are talking about now that i know word does not catch those things.

thank you for clearing things up i really appreciate that you took the time out to explain the reasoning as well.

Just out of curiosity, when reviews are submitted, about how long before an editor grabs it and publishes it? (Assuming, of course, that there are no major editing needs)

In other words, how long until it's available to be edited? I understand that there are lots of reviews coming in and only a few editors, so this is not a question of "how long before my review is published." I'm just wondering if there is a lag between when a review is submitted to when it's available to the editors. I'm also curious on how much time it will cut out from the old system.

Yes, of course. I only made it on one because they suggested suspension with bondage tape, which just isn't a good situation, unless you want someone breaking their skull from falling...

I feel that it should only be made on things that are unsafe, you know? But I saw others do it on things like placing toys with each other, which isn't a bone of contention. It should only be the unsafe practices, meaning that it could be harmful to the humans, not to the toys, correct?

Well, they may have meant light suspension, like simply against a wall or something, but I felt that I needed to make a note there because that could have been bad.

I totally agree, I saw the suspension with Bondage Tape review, gasped out loud, and then was glad to see your intervention, Sir.

Similarly, I would be happy to see someone editing something like a review that suggests using a bullet for anal, or other unsafe practices etc.

That is how I feel, too. Thank you. I was very hesitant to put it in, but I'm glad that others agree.

And heavy leather straps and specially made wrist and ankle cuffs with tabs to support the joints, connective tissue and muscles, as well as a reminder to only use heavy duty Eye Bolts or U Bolts which have been securely attached to INTO the beams in the ceiling and rated for more than the person being suspended weighs....etc. Preferably by someone who knows what they are doing.

Which, I DON'T know what I'm doing so I'd probably never try it... aside from the fact that I'm acrophobic and it's a bid deal if I even get on a ladder.

I agree with that as well- I think that is really what the original editors have done. I have only seen a few reviews with editor's notes in them and they were all safe anal use suggestions.

I saw the same things, but voted good because I have already made "voting rules" for myself. I'll be voting poor if I feel it is so distracting that I cannot read the review properly.

I believe that once the reviews are out of the editing process they will then be once again able to be edited by the reviewer. I could be wrong, though.

I hope so, maybe the editors themselves won't have to go through the same process? I know it would be a big pain in the butt for me to have to wait for someone else to fix something I already know is there!

Then again, I use word for a template, and I know it doesn't catch grammar but I do! It's easier for me to see the complete review in word without all the extra stuff. The only thing then would be seeing if the pics and links worked properly.

Maybe the preview option will be available eventually.

Thanks NeuronGeek! I hope this thread doesn't overwhelm anyone, I enjoy seeing the different concerns and opinions of others. Of course we are going to tear this up!
