I see your point.<br>
Maybe 121 reviewed themes in last 7 days is not a bad result.<br>
I believe you tried such idea as mine and maybe you're right. It was
just my idea, so I'd like to thank you for the discussion. <br>
I know many of people don't update themes because of laziness. I've
got too much work and other duties as well. But I know there are
plenty of people with short-lived enthusiasm.<br>

I've beend thinking about it as well. <br>
But a reviewer with higher priviliges could check the
review before closing it. The "younger reviewer" will earn
points only if the "older reviewer" approves his work.<br>
<br>
I know some people could say - I'm too lazy to test or I'm
too awesome for testing, so I screw uploading my awesome
theme.<br>
<br>
But guys, if WP has lazy developers it will become a huge
garbage than repository.<br>
There are a lot of themes and plugins with 1.0 version or
which haven't been updated for months and years. Plenty of
times I noticed bugs on forums and guess what. Nothing. Is
that what we really want?<br>
<br>
Do we need few developers or a lot of fame-wanted lazy
people?<br>

<div class="h5">"Why not to have a rule - if you want
to add your theme, first you must review one (or
more)."<br>
<br>
1. Because theme authors are already contributing
work for the community. They're <i>already</i>
donating their time, work and effort for free, they
should not have to do anything else. This would be
like paying someone $10 so that you have the
privilege of buying them a $5 hamburger, just
doesn't make sense.<br>
<br>
2. Besides the fact that the community would simply
miss out on the potential themes from authors who
said "Screw that.", of the ones that did review,
they would likely be one-off, half-assed reviews,
just enough to get by. I've seen similar
methodologies attempted in other review forums, "You
must review a website before your website can be
reviewed." and it's just a waste of time quality
wise.<br>
<br>
Current wait time for review: 2 months<br>
Wait time for your theme to go live once it's been
approved: About a week<br>
