Rejected Review drop down

Seems to be a new feature. I like it.

Wondering if the author's handle should be displayed? Sort of a walk of shame.

I sometimes peruse this sort. I'm encouraged I've seen a number where 8 of 8 reviewers, including me, vote one down. There's actually some standards!

A recent example was 2 consecutive reviews. Titled "Thumbs Up". With a 3-5 word "review". One was for Desire in Providence. One was Treasures in Houston. Clearly written by the same asshat who has never been to either club.

Thoughts?

Not being a VIP member I don't see it but I can imagine it's interesting to look at.

Nice feature. The only thing missing is the author of the rejected review.

The eighth adjudicator's handles are included, but not the author.

This had me thinking, I know there are some mechanisms out there that require a minimum word count before making a submission. That might be helpful cause it seems there are daily those who never notice the prefilled phrases that say “be wordy. Use paragraphs”. There are times my one sentence rejection reason is longer than the review.

I don't see the rejected drop down you're talking about @59, how do I find that? Or did it already go away?

Wait, scratch that last quesiton, I see it now.

If you browse to: /reviews

At the top of the page is a drop down where you can select "Rejected" reviews. It's an interesting look at what gets filtered here.

I don't think it's a bad thing either - I mean, users can already see who is rejecting or approving their views from their own dashboard...

I first saw the drop down when I began seeing Pending and Published reviews commingled. I think that may be the default.

My habit is to first skim Pending reviews. I'll Approve or Reject several then move onto Published reviews that are a day old. I only follow a few clubs but I like to see the comments that have been added, if any.

I started questioning why I'm seeing the Pending reviews again, that I'd just voted on, and stumbled across the drop down selector.

@59 - ditto here. I try to tell those I reject to read the FAQ when opening a new review. And I remind them this is not Yelp.

One thing I really appreciate about TUSCL is members self-adjudicate the Reviews, and the consistency. Founder puts a lot of trust here.
