Big Cam Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 ...who? I thought I got rid of all of those queue jumpers? haha, well I may be recalling from memory, so in fact you may have disposed of the unworthy ones. The 2 I was thinking of are super old past staff members (you know who) a certain range of individuals whom some are now grand dukes where with one post a rank increase will happen. Thats just me remembering things I shouldn't. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I have a question regarding the Reviewers Academy. I understand the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals, gold being an instructor, the others are students. How do become an instructor or student? Just write reputable reviews? Quote

Three RA-approved reviews gets you a Bronze tag, six is a Silver, and nine is a Gold. (and becomes a teacher) Quote

How do become an instructor or student? Just write reputable reviews? You need to join the reviews academy. Right here. Then the instructors (gold tags) help you through 3 set reviews. Once you have 3 reviews that pass the Reviewers Academy standards you receive the bronze tag. At this point if you wish to continue with the program you can complete 3 more reviews for your silver tag. Then if you are truly dedicated you can do 3 more reviews adn once those have been passed by the teachers you receive the gold tag and become a teacher yourself. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Thanks 'Brickdoctor' and 'Big Cam'. I read the guidelines and left a request to join yesterday or the day before. I was curious as to how those rankings worked. I'm guessing if your reviews are indexed they are recognized as a pass by a teacher or moderator? Quote

No it's not quite that simple, once you are accepted into the academy you'll read more. You have to actually do the 9 reviews (new reviews, not existing ones) inside the Reviewers Academy (hidden forum) and the teachers grade you (give advice, require changes, etc.) Quote

You have to actually do the 9 reviews (new reviews, not existing ones) inside the Reviewers Academy (hidden forum) and the teachers grade you (give advice, require changes, etc.) I do remember reading about the forum for members only. I posted a few small set reviews from the 90's city a while back as, practice if you will. There seems to be big gaps in those set reviews that I plan to fill. I personally don't see a point in double reviewing anyways as I have most of the sets unreviewed. I'm much into MOCing, so whether I'm in or out, I still enjoy writing typing reviews of my sets:laugh: Quote
CMP Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Speaking of ranks, I'm smelling another Archduke around EB. Congrats to lightningtiger! Quote

Fuzzylegobricks Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Congratulations LightningTiger! I am happy to see a close EB friend get promoted. I hope you have fun with your new power! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Congratulations LightningTiger! I am happy to see a close EB friend get promoted. I hope you have fun with your new power! Other than some extra attachment and PM space, I don't believe the Arch Duke rank has any powers Grand Duke doesn't. Quote
legolijntje Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Other than some extra attachment and PM space, I don't believe the Arch Duke rank has any powers Grand Duke doesn't. Which extra powers has a grand duke? Oh, and congratulations, Lightningtiger Edited May 23, 2011 by legolijntje Quote
prateek Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Which extra powers has a grand duke? Besides the stuff here, you can moderate your own topics Quote
buddy Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Congratulations on your new rank lightningtiger! ~buddy~ Quote
Jedi master Brick Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Well done lightingtiger Enjoy your new rank Looks like another update will be needed Edited May 23, 2011 by Jedi master Brick Quote
Big Cam Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Besides the stuff here, you can moderate your own topics I'm pretty sure you can only open or close your own thread, not fully moderate it. Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Special powers ?.......What special powers ? I don't think us Archdukes have the same or any special powers on EB as Moderators do, we are just higher ranked by post count and thats it. Thanks to everyone who commented so kindly on yourstruely breaking the 8000 post mark. Brick On ! Quote
