Also, WHAT do the little hot air balloons next to the threads in the forum mean? Please feel free to tell me I'm a total space cadet, but I can't figure it out!

For one, I agree with you for the most part. Some of EF's explanations kinda suck. However, they've been rectifying this pretty nicely with tutorials and explanations on their blog.

Here's my personal guide that I made that should answer about what being advanced means and other questions: link

Basically, being an Advanced Reviewer means that you are eligible to request free toys for review. That's it. If you aren't an advanced reviewer, you purchase all of the toys you want to review. Buyouts are when EdenFantasys allows you a 30% discount to purchase a toy as long as you agree to review it as well. Pretty simple.

Lures aren't really important. I wouldn't honestly find a reason to put it on support, but you could ask Gary to put it on the blog.

The hot air balloons next to threads tell you how many posts have been made to the post since you've last viewed the forum. (I just figured that one out a couple days ago.)

Of course, since you are a student to a mentor, feel free to ask your mentor questions. Since they've been around awhile, they should know the answer to all of this.

I believe that even if you are not an advanced reviewer that you can still do buyout review.

Awesome questions! I had them too but over a while I eventually figured it out. One thing I'm still wondering about myself is what the little award-looking symbol with a number inside it means when it's next to someone's name. I have figured out that it's generally next to the name of a mentor but what does the number mean? So curious!

Fanny, I've been here months and just figured out how to do "lures." It was my own fault because I didn't ask right away, and then when I didn't understand the explanation, I let it go.

When you see a product you may like, there are little strawberries on the left side of your screen. You can choose one of the (five, I think) strawberries, from 1)I don't want it to through, 3 "I like it, but not sure" to 4 "I'm excited about this!" to 5) "In my hands, now!" (which means you really like and want the toy.) (I hope that explanation made sense.)

I'm not sure how these are handled or if they have anything to do with eventual assignments given by Edens, once you are advanced, but it's fun to go through the toys and see what you and other people simply would try or not.

Thanks everyone for all the awesome answers!
If there's any problem with the support itself, the online community that EF has makes up for it 100%!
I had another question, but now I can't remember what it was.

Also, is that true that you can do a buyout even if you're not advanced?
I don't see it as an option in the checkout. How do you do it?

The Lures are there to help gauge the interest in the product. If something only gets one or two "lures", there might not be a huge interest. It'll be noted.

I love the mentor program and what it does. The idea for the mentor program isn't exclusively for writing reviews. It's also supposed to include general tips and pointers from one advanced reviewer to a new sign up; reviews are just the main part of that.

For the buyout assignment, you do have to be advanced to do it. I've never heard of a person doing it any other way.

If you have a question (general "you"), go ahead and send Gary or I an email about it. I'm always looking for tutorial topics.

Thanks!!
