If you've ever been on a review team with me, you're used to this speech; however, you're getting it again.
The Review Day Target will be the Green Room, a place that awards bonus points for all reviews done on works with 0 or 1 review(s). Not only will this aim our team towards victory, but it will help authors in the process who are looking for help on their works.
So what is your target? The Green Room.
Q: Is it better to do 100 tiny reviews, or 25 in-depth reviews?
Glad you asked, Bold Text. Let's look at some math, discounting the bonuses for the green room.
100 reviews committed at 250 characters each will award 2500 points. That's nothing to sneeze at! But at the same time, 100 is a ridiculous amount of reviews, even if they're low-quality. Let's look at the flip-side.
Say you do 25 reviews involving 1000 characters, or around two paragraphs of text. That's much more help for the author, and you'll get 2500 points for yourself and the team. Oh wait, isn't that the same number as before? You bet your sweet quills it is.
So I urge you to rethink how you review. Ask yourself, before hitting submit, if you have covered everything you can to help the author. Give it a final skim. Give specific details. The more thorough your review, the better reviewer you are.
If you have any questions or further tips, throw them here.
REMEMBER that Spam Reviewing is a bannable offense, and is always caught. Quoting entire pieces of works, copy/pasting reviews, and filling with excessive garbage letters will get you in hot water.
