Take a look here.

The New Reviewer section at the bottom of this Help Center article explains this as well  LINKY

Maybe find a few more thousand caches first, to get experience and know something about the game first.

Curious, how have you been trying to become a Reviewer ?  Thanks.

Canada is well-served by a team of 17 excellent Community Volunteer Reviewers, plus a GeoAware for Earthcaches.  One of the Reviewers is on "roving duty" to fill in when someone is on vacation, extra-busy, etc.

 

If anyone on the team feels overworked, or wants to retire, then there is a process for selecting a new Reviewer.  You can read more about that in this Help Center Article.  Follow the tips at the end of that article to better your odds of being chosen if a need arises in the future.

The problem is, if you don't know how to become a reviewer, you don't qualify.

If it's your only account why you want to be a reviewer 5 weeks after you began? You need deep knowledge of the game and like wacka said current reviewers choose the next one.

I hope next time they will select a Reviewer for Nova Scotia they will choose someone local. I don't really have issues with the current one but it's not ideal being thousands of kms away.

Yeah, it's going to take a lot more than that.

 

Look at the Help Center article that Keystone linked to. The things they're looking for are not found in people who have been geocaching for only a couple weeks.

I know exactly what reviewers go through, the sacrifices that they make, and the general ungratefulness that they tolerate. My advice is avoid trying to become a reviewer at all costs.

So, once xumatt is named a reviewer, can he FTF caches 30 seconds after he publishes them? I'm asking for a friend

Do you understand that reviewers won't go to the places where the caches are, right?!

yes, I understand that the pre publication review process does not include a site visit by the cache publisher.. 

Are platinum members still allowed to review and publish their own caches? At the annual dinner I had heard that was being discontinued.

Around the same time of the unicorns... I guess

[+ecanderson]

They stopped serving unicorn at the annual dinner way back in 2008.  Where are you getting your information?

Anyone still mentioning the non-existent fabled platinum membership at this point just might have serious issues. But perhaps not as many issues as I have with actual reviewers publishing their own caches. Who reviews the reviewers...
