There are some changes that are going to be made to this group effective immediately.

* I am going to restructure the reviewing system since I can see how it can be unfair based on the game you win, to expect a full review within two weeks. Some games take less play time than others to beat or at least get a feel for. Therefore I will base the review time on a case by case basis. However, with websites like How Long to Beat I will be able to tell you are begging for too much time if you say it will take you a month to review Fortix.

* If you will not be able to do reviews for a period of time such as you are going to be without a computer for 3 days or longer, then just do not enter giveaways until you are able to devote time to reviewing.

* I will be kicking inactive members at my discretion.

*The spreadsheet has also been updated with ratios for how much you have received vs. given. I understand, however, that some games are worth more than others due to sale price, bundling, etc. Ratio in general can be a good indicator but I will look at the exact games you have given away and received. If your ratio is very low you are in danger of being kicked, especially if you have not talked to be about this and given me any reason.

*If you are not going to be able to give back some games if you keep winning, then please do not enter giveaways for the time being.

*I will be in chat everyday so please stop in. I will be recruiting new members so there should be a spike in activity.

In summation: communication is very important to stop problems from occurring if you have a low ratio or need more time for reviewing. I don’t want to have to police you all, so in some instances I will not hesitate to kick members who are not communicating with me and breaking the rules.

Well the group has been going alright so far. However, there are some concerns I would like to address. Please be aware, this is a very small number of people who I feel are starting to stretch the rules a bit. Most of you are within them just fine!

Firstly, we have had some great reviews! Thank you for that. However, some reviews still have not come in. That is ok, but I am going to become more strict about the rule of only having two games you have won from the group that are currently unreviewed. It is just not fair to the others who would like to benefit from those reviews. It also is not fair to those who would like to have the chance to review some more games.
If you have some concerns about getting your reviews in on time please be proactive by providing me with a reason. If you know ahead of time that you will be busy for multiple weeks, then please do not enter giveaways.

Secondly, I would like to see some people make their giveaway won:giveaway created ratios a bit higher. Now, I'm not saying that you need to have it completely equal, though that would be ideal. If you have won quite a few games and have only given back one, that's not entirely fair to those who make it a point to keep their ratios even.

Once you hit two wins from this group with reviews you have not completed: please withdraw from the other giveaways/do not enter more. Thank you! This should enable faster reviewing. Any questions? Feel free to ask me.
