Luckily it's only 4 keys so I can copy and paste the characters that are broken, but it takes to long to do that.

That sucks. I remember I somehow lost my keyboard to my computer so I had to use the touch keyboard to type everything. Pretty damn hard. As long as the aren't letters used as much it wouldn't be a problem but if its a vowel or a commonly used letter then it would become a problem. I could probably work around it though.

What keys broke?

I totally feel your pain. I went through 3 keyboards in a few months. No clue why, the damn things just kept breaking.

I would suggest NOT to go buy a $10 cheapee - as the one I bought broke within a couple weeks, lol.

I'd get one at least $20. You know, middle of the road at least. Logitech isn't bad, but don't even think about purchasing a Durabrand...

Good luck getting that fixed though, because I know how irritating using the on screen keyboard is.

In other news, I'm unbanned and ready to hit some requests ;)

I would suggest first reading this, or the guides Fro has written linked at the top of this page in the main rules post. That should give you a better idea of what we expect as far as writing reviews goes.

Once you've gotten a better idea of how we like to write reviews, simply start reviewing some of the requests on the list on this page....or last page if this somehow posts on the next page :/

Well, 3 flash requests done already. Now I've got to get a handful of art done in a day or two, followed by one or two audio. Should be doable, but 100% is out of my league this week...

Right, I've got a little breathing space between myself and Haggard. Now I need to get some progress made on the Art reviews, followed by a few audio as well. I'm able to review, just not to the volume I used to.

Still, I might manage to get a review per day for this year, which would be nice.

Actually only SeeD does that :P.

To be honest I don't think it makes much of a difference. I doubt many people will come look for us in the C&C forum, find the thread and request a submission just after seeing the words 'Review Request Club' at the end of a review, and even then, Audio doesn't get much exposure in the first place.

I think the RRC sig does its job better as an indication that the review that the requester is receiving is an RRC review and not just a normal review, rather than its job as more exposure for the club.

Response to Review Request Club 2010-11-26 10:09:14


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!

Radiogrounds isn't helping me get done with these audio reviews >:(

One of the submissions on the audio requests list got deleted.

It just so happened to be the one that I wrote the longest review for.

That's the problem. We've tried putting a number of different regulations to stop audio from coming, such as Extra Audio Requests, 3 Audio Requests per month limit, and we've constantly mentioned how discouraging it is to see a massive requests list with 80% of it being Audio Requests, but since Audio Submissions are by far the submissions with the least exposure/recognition, we're going to have to expect loads of Audio Requests, and we can't just order the audio artists to stop requesting, too.

Holy crap, long sentence...

I'll do my best to keep this club at the best level and maintain it as long as I can.

Important note: Since the Art and Literature portals will be launched soon, the club will be expanded to art and lit requests. As you should know, the Art portal is technically on, but request from this portal will be enabled when it's fully available. The same goes for the lit portal but the launch shouldn't occur that soon.

While your audio reviews may need a bit of work, your flash reviews are fine, although I suggest organising them a bit more. Sometimes you have a whole block of text, and really long sentences. Organising your reviews more and making them a bit easy on the eyes will definitely help :).

Start reviewing from the latest requests list and once you've done enough reviews, post the points you gained at the end of this week (points system can be found in the first post of the thread) before I do the member's update. Then you'll be added to the club. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

hey, sorry completely forgot about this, if i start doin some reviews from latest request back, and i'll post the scores, say next weeked?

cheers for the pointers aswell dude.

I'd suggest waiting for the next requests list, which will be posted tomorrow or Monday, and then reviewing from that requests list and posting the points next weekend, since the last requests list counts for the update I'll be doing tomorrow or Monday.

If that makes any sense.
