[Rules] For Requesting a Review ... Please read
Hi, if you're wondering how your website is faring, ask here!
- Make sure to post your full site name and URL.
- Put your site URL in your subject line, please. A subject of "Review, please" is redundant -- we know you're here for a review :)
- If you are asing for a GW review, please list your category and editor, so that person can find you quickly.
- By all means, ask for a review of a portion of your site or ask for a review even if you're not going for the GW or AQ awards -- we're all here to help.
- Our editors are more likely to get to you faster if you've shown some reciprocation -- put in your own comments (constructive ones, please) on at least three other sites currently awaiting review. Yes, even if our editors have already reviewed. The more opinions, the better a site gets, generally speaking. Try to be polite in your responses and keep criticisms to the site itself, not towards the site owner, game system or server they're using.
- Kindly remember that you are asking for constructive criticism here. By posting, you're guaranteeing that someone will say something about your site needing improvement. Even GW and AQ award winners get suggestions. Frankly, we have lots of sites to review daily -- between the forums here and the Gateway there -- so don't expect long, politically correct reviews. You may very well get one sentence about grammer and spelling mistakes. It'll be honest and it's never meant as criticism of you -- just suggestions for improvement of your site. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
- Finally, be aware that the GW and AQ awards are pretty hard to come by and not everyone will win. That's part of the reason everyone wants it -- and we have some pretty high standards we adhere to.

Thanks and hope we can help!
