You can work at your own pace, but the main thing is: make sure you DO something!

That aside, I'll send you both pms with reviews that need checking. Just edit the review, mark added stuff with bold, and removed stuff with strikeouts. You'll find the icons on the panel up there when you create a new message. It's not too hard really.

If you pass this "test", I'll add you to the team

Thanks Dave - spent last night getting acquainted with the staff forums.

Generally speaking with grammar corrections, do we just pick out reviews that need to be proofed or are we assigned pieces?

Just pick reviews out of the pool in the main forum. Or you can even post reviews there if you see one from a game that is on-site that needs touching up.

Who knows though, you might be assigned sth if you become too lazy...

Bazly has completed his assignment, and is now eligible for membership. Dave, please hunt through that big bag of yours and give him a shiny blue badge

Gondring and CyberDiablo have been removed from the waiting list since it's been like 100 years and I haven't heard anything from them. So they are both officially disqualified. Meanwhile I have two new requests from CaitSith and Kirok. The reviews that were reserved for the first pair will be given to the new pair as their test.

@g33kory: I will send you a PM with a test review for you to check as well.

Note: Also, to all new members and current ones I will be taking another survey of member activity and those who were found to be inactive will be unceremoniously removed.

How about it? We need dedicated and hard-working people to join our elite cadre, and help in the never-ending struggle against mispronunciations and horrible typos! It's very simple really.

Well what are you waiting for? Sign up now!
