So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Tiny_Turtle wrote: 14 Jun 2018, 01:58 Is there a way to be able to view a list of the "The First 10" reviews that have been done by other reviewers?

I know I saw some "The First 10" reviews when I first got here and was just wandering around the site trying to figure out how things worked. Now I can't remember where I saw them. :roll2:
You can see it on the BOTD's page (on the Shelf) by clicking on "View First Ten Reviews".
Thank you. Over time I'll remember where everything is and how it works. Until then, I appreciate the help.

Hi!

I am extremely interested in participating in this group!

Is this program still running and are the qualifications to apply still the same? Also, (I realize variations might make an exact number difficult to predict), but how likely is a person to get the chance to write a first 10 review?

Or do all members get a random book each time they participate? There are numerous readers on the website and probably even more books to read however.

Finally does participating in this program improve your reviewer score or is it an additional reviewing opportunity to enjoy.

I know I asked a lot of questions, but this something I would hope to participate in the future.

Please advise at your earliest convenience,

Thank you very much and have a wonderful day,

Yes, it is still running, and you need to be level 3 and up to participate. It doesn't affect your score. When you are eligible, the option will appear on your Review Team Page. You sample the BOTD daily and write a brief review. You are rewarded for that $25 per 30 days. :tiphat:

Just a question about the first ten reviews. Where can someone find sample first ten reviews? I am asking because I just tried but my reviews keep being rejected and I do not have a template to help me out. On the first ten tab, I find the guidelines there a bit vague,. For example, should we mention the title or the author of the book? Where do the actual ten pages begin? some books have foreword and preface. Are they part of the first ten? should there be a small summary of these few pages? etc etc.

You can find them on the BOTD's page. The First Ten page explains the rules. :tiphat:
