rules
please read them
Please read the rules carefully. If any of the rules below are broken before or during a review, your site will automatically be dropped.
01. Your site must be related to/about Anime or Manga
Visit my anime/manga list to see what anime/manga I am most familiar with. If I am not familiar with the anime/manga your site is focused on, I will focus more on grammar, style, layout. Please do NOT submit your site if it only has some anime content.
02. Only submti your own site
I'm here to help you with your site...not someone else's.
03. I will NOT review the following...
Hentai, porn, hate, and graphics.
04. I will review...
Most general, shrines, etc. Please note that fanfiction/art, multimedia, fanlistings, and of that nature will depend on how much content you clearly have i.e. in a fanlisting I will look more at your layout and grammar instead of the general/rules, forms, members list that are on every other fanlisting and are required by TAFL anyways.
05. No Re-reviews...exceptions?
Unless you clearly feel that you have revamped your site entirely and would like a review, please do submit one. This rule is here for those who abuse my service and are just looking for an ego check.
06. After submitting, do NOT make any major changes to your site i.e. layout change
If your site is being reviewed this week, please do NOT make any major updates or changes to your site. It is hard keeping up if you change half your pages, add a bunch of pages, and/or change your layout, while I am reviewing. Please do all of this BEFORE you submit.
07. Give the real URL of yor site, no redirects
I want to see your site as is. No .tk, .dot.nu etc.
08. Have an open mind.
If you ask for a review, do not put on your site "I will not change anything if someone reviews me" or if after a review your comment to me is simply indicating that you will not change anything because it's the way you like it. If your site is the way you like it, why are you asking for a review?
Type "star" before your name on the form i.e. star Icera (without the parenthesis), so I know you understand the rules and have read them. If any of the above rules are broken at any time, your site will be taken off the quene.
extra notes
When will my review be done? Unforunately, things come up don't they? And reviewing is secondary to me. Because I review each site so thoroughly, I spend approximately 1-3 hours reviewing each site, as well as depending on the size of the site. I will only review 1 site maxiumum per week Thus when your site is added to the pending list. It will indicate the weekend it will be done. If a site has applied before you, that indicates I will review your site the next week...this ultimately means I will review up to 4-5 sites a month. Yes, you may alter your layout, change information etc. IF your site isn't due to be reviewed that certain week, but when it's your week to be reviewed please do not do any major updatesI will email you when your review is done. Since my schedule is not set anymore, it's difficult to find a specific time dedicated to reviewing. I will try for the 1 week mark, but no promises.
I will not look at CSS/HTML unless there is a problem with your layout. I personally think everyone has their own style regarding coding so I will not be looking at your CSS/HTML unless there are major errors in viewing your layout. I am also not a major fan of validating (read the articles for more information) so you do not have to worry about that.
After your review is done If you don't agree with my comments or just want to say thanks please fill out the After Review Form. I'm always trying to find ways to make this site better. You may paste your review on your site. I don't recommend direct linking your review because I might change the URLs in the future.
Dropped review Your site may be dropped from reviewing at ANY TIME without notice to you or without an explanation if I choose to do so.
Linking Review Avenue is not required. Obviously, I think it would be great if you would link RA for your review and for my work. But if you're not satisfied with the review, why would you link us?
Anything else? I will advice you to check out the Articles I've written, they will also tell you a little about what I feel is important/un-important in a site.
