When we as administrators review other Theme Reviewers work (and our own as well) it is more to insure the guidelines are being followed than to re-invent the wheel of the review. You may think of it as similar to an audit process, if you choose, and it is especially important to do these audits when a new Theme Reviewer comes on board.<br>
<br>There can be, and sometimes are, many issues that are simply not "black and white" decisions, or where a review comment is vague. This is a process, the guidelines and the progresses we have made, that IMO should always be audited. It is through vigilance and attention to details that we improve ourselves ... and the quality of the themes being added to the WordPress Extend repository.<br>

You're not wasting your time, all we are asking that reviews are done against simple guidelines <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review" target="_blank">http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review</a> and from what I could see it wasn't. Currently we really check reviews of new members only, think of it as Theme Reviewer in training that all :)</font></font></font><div>
