That's a rough guideline we will be following here as well.  It's not really a position one applies to get.  Basically, if you can write a good amount of reviews that are well written, you will get consideration.

There�s not necessarily a restriction on how many Collaborators we want working on the subgenres. We value any hard working and dedicated Collab. So if you think you fit that description you are more than welcome to apply here: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=286&title=post-your-application-as-a-subgenre-team-member.

I was invited to join, but if you're up to being a collab, I recommend applying.

well, for this first wave of promotions I guess the admins looked and said, "oh, this handful of people have lots of well-written reviews, as well as seeming quite knowledgeable without having applied for a genre team"

I'm happy to be a metal reviewer! I was able to bust out quite a few over winter break, and I will try to get as many as I can out even though I'm currently in the middle of a college semester (rough). Nonetheless I will uphold my duties! Headbanger
Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

Reviewers are always an important part to the music site!

And I was going to move alot of my PA reviews but honestly...a lot of them are terrible LOL Also generally geared for a prog audience. My MMA reviews are, hopefully, better!
Edit: Of course I can't be one, which is fine. I just love reviewing Big smile

Well there are about 150 ratings among them so not all are reviews. I began a year ago to move all my reviews from PA to the drafts section of my profile and I plan to re-write those reviews at some point in the future before I post them here. I�d say there are about 300 - 400 reviews there too. I�m far from finished moving the reviews though. It�s quite a lot of work actually.
 
For example I�ve reviewed every studio album by Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden but only very few of those reviews have been posted here yet.

^LOL SC can�t be Metal Reviewers. Metal Reviewers are 4 star Collabs who dedicate their time to writing reviews but aren�t necessarily interested in adding artists and editing the database.

Well 502 reviews is an impressive list, and you're an admin as well as on 3 teams.

Surely a little more duty won't hurt ya! Wink
