Keystone Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 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. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

You need deep knowledge of the game and like wacka said current reviewers choose the next one. 1 hour ago, Keystone said: Canada is well-served by a team of 17 excellent Community Volunteer Reviewers, plus a GeoAware for Earthcaches.

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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

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. 1 Quote Link to comment

+bflentje Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 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. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment
+ras_oscar Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 So, once xumatt is named a reviewer, can he FTF caches 30 seconds after he publishes them? I'm asking for a friend Quote Link to comment

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

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... Quote Link to comment
