<DIV><BR>Subject: Re: [theme-reviewers] Question: Someone Want to Take
Benefit From a 'Top Reviewer of the Month'.<BR><BR>
<DIV dir=ltr>Part of the original question asked "has this happened to
anyone" (not the exact words) - the answer is yes, not once not twice
but a good few times. Initial response? I responded with not part of my
business plan/working model! Then followed by "mark as junk" and now
that is where (if any) those emails land and deleted without a first
look never mind a second.<BR><BR>For me the incentive scheme and having
a theme featured for my hard work is only a bonus - true benefit is
derived from learning code as Otto said. The real reward out of it all
will be when one day I create a theme from scratch, submit, have it
reviewed, approved and made live without a single issue being raised -
now that is (will be) the achievement :)<BR><BR>So,<BR><BR>1) Should we
be paid to review themes in order to win and get the payer's theme
featured? Certainly Not!<BR><BR>2) Should commercial theme shops pay
their employees to review for the same end in mind? Weather they get a
theme featured or not they are going to pay their employee regardless.
So that is their prerogative - but should they hire for the sole purpose
of reviewing and getting featured? To me that is no any difference to 1
above and is a No!, but who is going to police it?<BR><BR>Solution?
Switch the "Featured themes" section to a "Random themes" section and
let the system cycle though all and any theme on a given time period and
everyone is a winner. Easier said than done with over 2000 themes I know
:)<BR><BR>I second and +1 the call for a redesign of the landing page.
