Congratulations for attaining Gold TR status! You sure deserve it. You're one of my favorite reviewers, so keep the great write ups coming.

Merry Christmas!

The nice thing is if people are close and let us know, we can take some extra time to look and read about some courses we might not otherwise read about.

I loved the graphic on the extinct course....nice job TIMG!!!

I'd actually prefer people not solicit for votes in the forum. I think I've mentioned that once or twice in this thread. So please, no more of the "I only need x more, *cough cough* *nudge nudge*" stuff.

Also, thanks

DOH! My bad!

No problem.. it was in a post a few pages back. It's not really a well known "rule". I just don't want the forum to turn into a "vote for me" thing where someone posts a message and then everyone runs out and votes up their reviews. It would make the whole TR thing less meaningful.

 

[Hamilton]

my bad tim...i was just excited about being so close to the bronze status...

 

[DirtyMittenDG]

im not trying to solicit votes but I was wondering if anyone knew how many votes away I am??

I have 89 helpfulls & 50 non (alot of the 50 nons were before I changed my reviewing system)

I looked at a couple of your recent reviews, and I like the new system (I voted yes). You'll get there - keep on reviewin'!

i can't locate tim's thread, but i thought it was 50 helpfuls for bronze.

i'm assuming that's gone up since you've got 89 positives?

i've got a long way to go!

it is 50 helpfuls for a bronze but having 50 unhelpfuls to 89 helpfuls isnt going to get you there. you might if you had say 19 unhelpfuls you would have probably obtained it by now.

heres a PM from Tim.

For bronze, I believe it's 10 reviews and 50+ helpful votes.

do your negative votes take away from your helpful ones?

Only if you have a significant amount of them.. like more than 50% of your votes.

*grumble* 5 minute edit limit *grumble*

my post above should say 'can't locate tim's post' not 'tim's thread' since the answer to the question above is posted in this very thread...

(and in solomon's post above)

 

[Hamilton]

yeah the 10 review min is what is holding me back...i've only played 9 different courses so far...doh...

*grumble* 5 minute edit limit *grumble*

Agreed.

There's a couple motivating reasons to limit the edit time. There are multiple places to where posts get copied. If the post is later edited then there are different versions of it floating around and that can get confusing.

The first place is if anyone quotes the pre-edit post it shows up in the reply in its original form. If the original poster then goes back and makes edits it looks weird and inconsistent to any subsequent readers.

The second place is that anyone who subscribes to a thread with instant notification gets an e-mail with the pre-edit version of the post. If the original poster then goes back and makes edits it's confusing to the subscriber who got the e-mail to go to the form and see something different posted than what was e-mailed. Note that this is still a problem with the five-minute limit today, but the five-minute limit will reduce the overall number of edits made.

Not saying that I like the five-minute limit, just that there are valid reasons for it to exist.
