HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!

No worries mate, we're not that strict on it all, but I'm glad you apologized for breaking the rules (:

Thanks :) Well the Art reviews were mostly in jest, as I was in contact with the artist ^_^ I will be sure to make more sincere art reviews for the requests that stem from this club.. thanks :D
and Thanks M3 ^_^
Also, remember that you need to count your own points during your first week here (:

I thought I signed up for only one update? ^^
Another update could be quite difficult, because something went awfully wrong with the spreadsheets (I get "reference" errors all over the place and I don't know why).
Also, weird not to see SCTE3 finishing all the reviews this week. Is he on vacation or something?
Yeah, he hasn't been around in a while...

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 FattyWhale for maintaining it for so long. Thanks also to Sonofkirk for starting this new thread and doing many updates.
Have fun!

Well, I think Steph's back in not too long, so we could probably just wait for him or wait untill next weekend.
Meet the Mayor.
So... Are we not updating this week? I mean, I'll probably not get to reviews until Thurs. the way things go around my place, just wondering what's up.
Well, Steph is back on the 14th, and Haggard was only told to do one update, and apparently his spreadsheets are a bit messed up or something like that, so I don't think I could've done it even with the right files. We might just have to wait.
Meet the Mayor.
Everything in your post (apart from helping with the update and reviewing), sucks. Glad to have you back though. Lucky you got back in time to keep your 100% streak going there :P
Meet the Mayor.
Hmm.. well I don't mind doing some reviews now but I'm curious to know where the list is of things to be reviewed.. [Total Noob to this here.]

ready to make update for this week.
Good stuff, my man. I'm not sure for how long I'll stay up, but I'm looking forward to the update in the morning at least (:
Thanks for taking the time.
Meet the Mayor.
Help! I'm having major writer's block. Can I get some suggestions on where to take this next?

I thought you were doing it? Oh well, I guess we are waiting till Sunday. I don't mind. I'll start doing some of the requests right now so I don't get completely overwhelmed.
Meet the Mayor.
Hey guys I'm back. @Haggard I expected you to do two until I got back but that's OK :P.
I'll update for the whole 2 weeks (this week and last week) next Sunday/Monday. I'll just edit my version of the spreadsheets with the new stats in the last update and get to work. How does that sound?
Also thanks to everyone for taking care of the new member requests, and running the club while I was gone, especially Haggard for doing the update even if it was one update. Much appreciated!

No probs mate, glad you're back. France was awesome, I s'pose?
Meet the Mayor.
Hey hey, RRC!
I've got a few songs that were apparently left unnoticed by the reviewing community, so I guess I'll leave them to you guys to give any form of criticism.
Anyways, first track:
Some kind of Afro-Jazz Fusion, very intense. Hope you guys enjoy!
Cheers,
Samuel Hébert
Yeah France was great. Technically it was one week in France and one week visiting my Dad's side of the family and some friends in England. See my newspost for a little more details :3.

I'm thinking to join this club again but just for a period of time. Can I?
Try to stick to doing more than one paragraph and you should be just fine.
Haha I know. I was already was RRC member twice. I already made some all-characters review. But I just want to join for a period of time because I'm free to do reviews now.

Just popping in to request a triple review combo for two full but short songs and a slightly improved version of a previously requested concept before heading out on a three week vacation in the states.
