I think we may need a slight revising of our rules. For one thing, the timeout for archives. If there's a request for someone to review something, I've seen that if there's no response from someone who tagged the review within 24-48 hours, the review is archived.

It is my belief that it should be up to the requester of the review when the request is locked and archived, not up to the reviewer staff. -.-

That is what I think too.

It's fine the way it is, if the requester saids he can wait, then we will forget about archiving it until the person who has tagged it has done it. But what if we have been waiting like 1 week for a review and the replier hasn't responed? Or if someone has left and forget about it? What are we going to do about that?

Well if someone left altogether, then yeah, trash the review request. I'm just saying that whatever is done to the review should be the decision of the person who made the request.

Sounds good.

I'm not going to say flat out they are fine as is, but they are pretty good as is. Hence, I would approve of extending the archive deadline to say 96 hours.

I agree with Aloe. I dont even know where the deadline came from, I think Bart made it up

No, I did. I found it dumb that people request more than one review in the first place, the point of requesting is to gain info about the product being requested. Which is done with one review. So, if someone doesn't say the want another within a certain amount of time, they shouldn't need one anyway, because one is already done, and they have their info, which is the point of the request. Otherwise, if they felt the review was shit and provided no info, they could simply PM the archiver anyway.

Ok, except user reviews are different

Not in my opinion, but whatevvv.

I still don't see your point. ._.

In your eyes, a single review may be enough, but there are certain times when someone may need several different opinions on a product.

Uhhm...

First of all, if they cared so much they'd be watching the topic. And two days would be plenty of time to determine if you'd want another or not. Otherwise, if something happened where they couldn't be online within those few days, they could PM the archiver. Which is not difficult to do. Just like TMJ's thread which Bart unarchived.

I don't think we're going to change the rule. Archiving after 48 hours has been normal procedure.

Archived.
