Looks like you're already getting them done and writing decent reviews at that. Awesome. As I'm sure you read, the club has been experiencing some inactivity with members recently due to personal life getting in the way ;) So although I can't make the final call, I'm sure Steph will appreciate the help, and most likely approve your membership ;)
Hey, I don't run this club. I just update. So don't feel like you're not qualified to approve members. All of the people who joined have good reviews, so they know what a good review and a bad review looks like. So feel free to approve members :).
And to the new member, yeah, I agree with SeeD. Your reviews look very good, and we all appreciate the help!

Just to clear this up: This club is run by all of it's members. So anyone who is a member of this club can allow other users to join. Just make sure the users willing to join have good reviews, that's all. ;)

And my third and final one for now. So far one of my songs have been reviewed by rorypearce94
and was extremely helpful. I will be sure to use this in the weeks to come as I am uploading years of work. Most of it will be fairly old and you can obviously recognize samples from flstudio. Im just glad that I got that out of my creative system and have learned to both create my own samples and at least disguise pre-existing ones. Thanks to whomever reviews my work and I hope I gain a fan or two from this.
Just a side note. Most of the samples used in the songs I have uploaded so far are either original or not intended for music. NOW BOW DOWN BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY HEARTGRINDER!!!

Good stuff, we need more of those especially.
Yeah, fair enough, to be honest, I am rather suprised I was permitted to join, the first review I ever wrote was deleted, but I have made an effort to improve my reviews somewhat.
Quality over quantity the way I see it ;)

Subject: Thanks
I just wanted to send you a thank you note for your review on "Revenge Of Heartgrinder". As I stated in the reply to the review, I have never gotten that much insight from anyone else about any of my art. You have a good ear and your terminology seams to be well informed. Again, thank you and I hope you continue to listen.
Cool.
I know how you feel. It's great to get people appreciating the time you spent writing a review, especially an audio review, which I find are a bit more challenging to do than flash or art reviews, even though I'm an audio artist myself.
I've gotten tonnes of PM's and BBS posts thanking me for writing them a helpful review and I still can't get enough of them :D.

please review
NOTE - READ THESE RULES, EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY READ THE RULES IN THE FIRST POST. THEY ARE AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE RULES IN THE FIRST POST AND THEY HAVE NEW IMPORTANT RULES!
Hello! Welcome to the new Review Request Club thread. This thread is meant to give the club a fresh start and make it a pleasant place to stay. In order to do this, it goes without saying that you must follow the regular BBS rules and read the C&C Advice Thread before posting if you are new to this forum.
This club aims to increase the exposure of the most under-rated Newgrounds music, art and flash artists. The other major purpose of the club is to offer the Newgrounds artists high quality feedback so they can constantly improve their work.
To the requesters:
Every Newgrounds user is allowed to request a review as soon as he submitted something. To get your work reviewed, don't post here without thinking but follow these few rules:
- Post a direct link to the submission(s) you want reviewed.
- Make no more than 3 Flash and Art requests between two updates (that's one week), and no more than 3 Audio Requests between 5 updates (that's four weeks).
- Please respond to reviews, reviewers like it and some of them are statwho... oh wait, interested in stats.
- Be patient. Due to the points system, you may not see reviews until up to two weeks after you requested, or if you requested more than 1 Audio submission, you may not see reviews on your second submission up until 3 weeks after you requested, and you may not see reviews on your third submission up until 4 weeks after you requested.
- Do NOT request without posting a link, be kind, reviewers are not robots.
- Do NOT simply say "Review everything" or just link to your profile.
- Do NOT request reviews for the same submission more than once.
- Do NOT request reviews for a submission with over 50 reviews.
- Do NOT request reviews for spam. Spam is only there to annoy, not to be critically analyzed.
- Unless you are a club member, only request reviews for YOUR OWN submissions.
To the reviewers:
If you want to join the club and complete requests, simply post in the thread saying you would like to join. Then, regular members will go through your reviews and determine if they are good enough to be part of the club. Your reviews are required to be helpful, developed and well-organised. If you need help with writing good reviews, read Fro's guide to writing helpful reviews.
Once you are accepted, you can start reviewing stuff. If you are a new member of the club, once you understand how the point system works, please post - one or two days before the update - the total points you've earned during the week. This is considered as a sort of application form, and if you fail to do so, you will NOT be added to the club.
Points System:
List updaters will keep track of each member's points in order to build a list. You don't need to post your points before each update but you can keep track of your score on your own so any error can be fixed. This is how points are counted:
5 points for a review on a requested submission (movie, game, art, or audio).
1 point for writing "Review Request Club" at the bottom of a requested review.
3 points for posting at least once throughout the two weeks.
5 points for referring a new member (must mention you in first post).
7 points for reviewing all requests/recommendations between two updates.
Club Updates:
Each Sunday or Monday, a list of all the members is created, counting up their points, featuring various stats and posting a list of requested submissions. Assuming you review the submissions in that list, you will get points for them accordingly in the following members' update, around a week later.
Don't forget the lists are built and updated by humans so it may be possible the update is delayed due to various real life reasons. If it ever occurs, don't get mad; calm down and wait :).
Frequently Asked Questions:
Should we have an FAQ?
I don't know. It kinda seems like overkill.
Why a new thread?
The main idea was to give the club a new and fresh start. Since the old one was flooded by requests and not updated any more, the RRC regulars thought creating a new thread would be best for the club.
Should I link to the club in my forum signature?
There's no obligation to do so, but it's certainly appreciated. Remember that you can put a high number in place of the page number in the URL and if that page doesn't exist yet, Newgrounds will take you to the latest page, whatever it is. For example, "http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/107 2042/999" will take you to the latest page of this club.
RRC Signature?
Yes, at the end of each review, if you want you can write down 'Review Request Club'. There is no obligation to do so, but you'll get +1 point if you put the RRC signature in your review. You can add anything you want to it, E.G.: *Review Request Club*, |Review Request Club|, -Review Request Club-, etc, but as long as 'Review Request Club' is clearly written, you will get the point. You are also allowed to add the sig in any reviews other than requests in this club, as long as you are a club member yourself. It's all the more exposure for the club, and it's very much appreciated.
+1 point if I put the RRC signature in my review... I'm not sure if I get it correctly.
You gain 6 points for a review on a request with "Review Request Club" in the end of it, as opposed to 5 points if you hadn't added the signature at the end. If it's still not clear, read this.
Does the Review Request Club review for non-NG stuff?
No. It must be an NG submission. If you have a non-NG submission which you would like us to review, then use your common sense and upload it to NG. Also, we will only review using the 'Write a Review' method on submissions. We won't send reviews by PM, review in your newspost or review in any particular thread of yours.
Do I have to review all the requests?
No you don't have to, just do your best :). Though completing them all will give you 7 extra points.
Which requests should I review?
If you want to get points for the next member's update, look for the latest requests list in the club thread and review the requests from that list. If you review any requests from various posts in the thread which would have been posted after the latest requests list, you will be getting points for the member's update after the next one.
can u review allz mah flashz guise? kthxbai.
No.
If you have more questions, feel free to post about it in the thread or PM a member and if your question is frequently asked, it'll be added to the FAQ.

That's all about the club, though this new version of the club couldn't be opened without mentioning the old thread regulars who have made it a great place to spend time. Kudos to Freelance-Magician for creating the original club and to milinko959 for maintaining it for so long. Thanks also to Sonofkirk for starting this new thread and doing many updates.
Have fun!

Wow I came really close to falling off the list, I did one review to remedy this...
Hopefully once stuff at work get sorted out I'll have more time for the club :)

Well, im not finished with this one yet and im looking for some ideas on what to do with it...
Thanks!
At 10/30/10 03:59 AM, Rory wrote: Really? I absolutely abhor writing flash and art reviews, I jsut don't know where to begin, with audio reviews, I simply talk about each section of the track individually, with flash reviews, I just babble on, and I never dare try and do a real art review, as I don't know a single thing about art whatsoever.
I think the thing with audio is that opinions may change from one person to another more easily than in art and much more easily than in flash. I mean, if someone points out that he doesn't like the intro to a song, another guy can point out that he likes it himself, since that's his opinion, but if someone points out that the graphics of a flash are badly drawn, then chances are that everyone will agree with this person since it's easier to notice whether a flash's graphics are good or bad than if a song's intro is good or bad.
Unless you're an active audio artist or someone who listens to different types of music regularly, then it's going to be harder to review audio, since you'll have to base a lot of your review on your personal opinion. Personally, I found flash very easy to review, and art not so difficult either. Could be why you see more one-liner audio reviews than you do flash/art reviews.
That's the way I see it anyway :3.

You must get a lot of requests here, but is there any chance you can review this. I made the mistake of uploading it in the middle of the night when I'd finished it and it fell off of the top 50 with just one review and hasn't got much more attention since.
Thanks.
Hey Steph, I want to leave this club! I don't care more to this anyway, I almost forgot from the Review Request Club's existance. So ok, remove me! I really enjoyed at the beginning and middle (:P) times but since a time it became to be boring and I didn't wanted more to do any review. So bye reviewers! I will miss you guys!
Auf whirdessen.
I don't mean to jump on the bandwagon or anything, but I'm going to have to quit the club as well. It's not that I'm bored with the club, but it's almost impossible for me to keep up writing reviews with university. Teaching, making lesson plans, preparing lessons, etc... It's all consumed my life to where I have to schedule my entire day out or I fall severely behind. In fact, quitting this club was actually on my To-Do list. One more thing I can scratch off before the list grows again as a new week starts.
Anyway, I'll leave you with this. Yet another audio to review.
I should have a flash done tonight. I'll request reviews on it tomorrow.
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/3 72945 can you review this?
DXsamurai......
Phew, that took a while. Right then, I'll start by saying that thankfully all the requests got at least 1 review, with some requests having up to 5 or so reviews, but that's mainly in the flash section. That being said, we can safely say that SeeD419 saved the week this time. If he didn't review all of the requests, we'd have around 35 requests left without a review, so props to him for finishing the whole massive list.
As for the update, a pretty bad update this week. A valued member, Fro, has requested to leave the club, meaning the club has two amigos left. Spysociety also left... again :P. Also, the statistics aren't too good. Sure, the Average per Member is looking good, but the Average per Request statistic has room for improvement. I guess those extremely tiring 49 requests are to blame, though. Hopefully we can make a comeback this week.
Guh, I hate criticising everyone's reviewing without doing any reviews myself. I promise that if I find the free time, I'll review all I can.
Anyhow, I'm going to do the requests list now. No way am I going to put the burden on someone else's shoulders this time.
By the way, at SeeD419: if you want I can make your total review rate 100% again. Just review the request you didn't review. This is because I usually wait for people to finish if they have a few requests left to do and they're aiming for 100%, but I haven't done that for such a long time that I completely forgot, so it's only fair that I give you another chance.
Enjoy the update. Requests list will come shortly. And sorry for any mistakes, I'm pretty tired right now.

I found time to finish my flash tonight. It's a really short submission, but here it is.
Unsuitable Submission
This submission contains age-rated material and requires an account to view.
Also, and older submission I forgot to request.

Sure thing. Start reviewing from the latest requests list. You can review as many as you want, and the more you review, the more points you get.
Every Sunday I update the club, posting the reviewing stats of the week and creating a new requests list, so sometime before Sunday post the points you gained (you can see the points system in the first post of the thread) and then you're part of the club. You only need to do this for the first week so we can see that you know your way around the points system.
And that's about it. Good luck reviewing!
