Hello Rising Stars!

Whew! Lots of reviewers in March - way to go!! If you did a review for these months and are not on any of the lists, one of two things happened - 1) you didn’t post in the forum or 2) I missed it! If so, I am sorry for that.

I have posted the full, entire list of ALL the members you have reviewed in the Member-to-Member forum. This will help you keep track of who you reviewed already, since you only get credit for reviewing someone you have never reviewed before! I also have this tally in my portfolio if you would like to save it to your favs list.

Tally for the reviewers from Rising Stars Member to Member program!

*Star* HOW TO *Star*


Each month, all Rising Stars are asked to do the following:

1) Review at least three new Stars that month whom you have not yet reviewed for Member-to-Member

2) Post the usernames or bitem links in the forum that is linked below. To find the person’s username, hold your mouse over the little portfolio icon next to their name. A little box will pop up and show their username. I need the username not their handle!! For bitem posting, type in {bitem:0000000} replacing the 0’s with the items ID number that you reviewed.

It's Our Job To Shine Bright 
M2M review forum. Review 3 Stars each month. Win an award!
by Gabriella


3) Use one of the sigs provided in the forum in your review to be eligible to be considered as Reviewer of the Month

4) Make the review public by selecting the option above the submit review button. This will also qualify you for Reviewer of the Month.

*Star* REMINDERS *Star*


*Right*Your reviews must be public and with one our sigs so that I can find them. To add a sig to your review, type {image:00000} replacing the 0’s with the image’s ID number. The public review page only allows one sig per review.

*Right*If you use multiple sigs, it will not show up unless you make certain ours is on the top of the review.

*Right*Don't just write the words "For Rising Stars Member to-Member" somewhere in the review. Remember, I'm scrolling through 400 pages of reviews, looking for our sigs. I'm not reading every review out there. Without our sig, I won't find your review.

*Right*Don't just use one of your regular Rising Stars sigs. Lots of people use those on other reviews, so it still won't signal me that this is a Member-to-Member review. Use the ones in our Member-to-Member forum linked above.

*Right* Only make ONE post in the forum with a total of your reviews for each month. I do understand that you don’t review all at the same time, but please limit your total posts for the month to TWO. You can edit a post you already made by viewing the post then clicking on the “edit” link above the message. This will make it easier for me and/or jbjackson to count up the reviews for that month for your total tally.

We're hoping the awards will motivate high quality reviews. We're looking for substantive feedback that is honest, encouraging, and helpful. If you participate each month and put effort into your reviews, you'll probably get picked as Reviewer of the Month sooner or later. If you do less than 3 reviews in a month, they will still count towards your tally. You just won't qualify for the award that month. If you don't add the sig or make your review pubic, they will still count towards your tally. They just won't help you with the award that month. You won't be disqualified from the award just because you've reviewed the same member twice in the past or haven't linked in the past. Every month starts over fresh with a new chance to win.

A list of active Rising Stars is listed here:
