+TotemLake Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) 5, 4, 3, 2.... I'll put it this way... usually dragged while kicking and screaming into office. This is due to the fact you will have been involved in the sport long enough to know what kind of abuse the volunteers take while performing their duties as a reviewer.

+webscouter. Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 It basically boils down to you are asked to be a reviewer when Groundspeak needs one. If you want to position yourself to be asked get involved with your local organization, place high quality caches with proper permissions. Make sure you maintain your caches and also help maintain other caches you come across that need a little TLC. That being said, if you hang around a little bit and read the forums you will find that being a reviewer is not only a thankless job but many times it will make you the object of much anger. With the exception of the Kansas and Missouri approvers most of them wonder why they agreed to be a reviewer. (Kansas and Missouri cachers are really nice to our approvers. ) Quote Link to comment

(Kansas and Missouri cachers are really nice to our approvers. ) I have had my moments, but it is fun and I enjoy it for the most part. I think that really is the case overall. The lobotomy is healed up nicely too. I got it back in 1891 afterall. A clear understanding of the guidelines is needed as well. Placing a few caches and making sure you know your guidelines will help. It will give you some experience. Get involved in your local group first. It is a great place to start.

+The Leprechauns Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 One of the toadie elite got down off his false throne for long enough to write this post in the Frequently Asked Questions Thread that's pinned at the top of the "Getting Started" forum. But don't believe anything he writes; he is just a sock puppet. Believe mtn-man. mtn-man OWNS all the other sock puppets. Well, except for Spartacus. Quote Link to comment

+Tharagleb Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Could someone explain the "Why does my post say <screen name>?" reference to me. I was absent that day. An email will do. Quote Link to comment
+Tharagleb Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Back on topic, I was going to say I think you can only become a reviewer if you have committed atrocities in a prior life. Quote Link to comment
+Team Cotati Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) This carp would make Ed McMahon green with envy. Truly amazing stuff. I am convinced more than ever that there has got to be a secret 'random script play back' server involved, no human would do this..............would they?

Okay, back on topic. Here's how I see it. If you ASK to be a reviewer, you won't be chosen. In which case....PICK ME!! PICK ME!! PICK ME!! PICK MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Quote Link to comment

Sounds interesting. That's all I know. I always fell asleep right about there and the next thing I knew it was time to get dressed for school You got off lucky, we had to watch the video in school. Close your eyes and imagine a pony, a frog, a dog, a guy in a lab coat, a heidi, a hampster, a smurf, or a (saxophone for that matter) popping out of the mommy reviewer. Please, please, please, please tell your kids that reviewers get dropped off by a stork. it's much less painful. Quote Link to comment
