Re: BGT Protocols - Attention Ken Hale

 blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important;  padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; }  I'm not Ken. I think you have his email incorrect. My name is Jaime McFall and I'm new and trying to get a review edited on a cook stove I purchased. I just wanted you to know you sent that to wrong email.Thanks, Jaime

Ken,








As the senior editor for this list I am posting this regarding your Owner Reviews. I've communicated with Mike Mosack, your editor, and understand that you and he have been going back and forth for over a year, often about some basic rules for posting to this list. Per Mike, the root cause is your reluctance to read and familiarize yourself with the rules posted on this site on "How to Become a Tester." This problem is apparent from your email correspondence with Mike, which he has shared with me.








 One reason - probably the most important reason - that BGT has thrived for so long is the quality of its reports. That is due to standard format and high writing standards, both of which depend on EVERY reviewer’s following the rules. To follow the rules every reviewer needs to be familiar with them. It’s trouble enough for us editors to maintain our standards with those who follow the rules; it’s impossible if we constantly must remind reviewers what the rules are. Editors are here to edit, not to walk a reviewer step by step through a procedure that's quite understandable from the directions on the site a bit of practice.








We're always looking for new reviewers and testers and we'd like to have you - if you are willing to follow the rules. Given what's gone on, we must ask that before there's any further editing of your ORs you undertake  -in writing, by a separate post to this list -  to familiarize yourself with the rules (all of them) and to adhere strictly to them.








Thanks,








Richard Lyon
