Mods and Owners,

How can I as a reader of Eccie reviews know whether the review was approved or not approved by the staff?

also, how can i tell as a reader of an Eccie member's profile [or their avatar/info next to their posts] know how many of his reviews were approved and how many were not approved?

if there is not a way to do so, i hereby request that feature in Eccie.

respectively,
pmdelites

Alternatively, not allowing unapproved reviews to be included in review counts or linked might be an easier solution. I'd be fine either way, but if the review isn't deemed sufficient to meet PA standards, it shouldn't be given much weight by the community, either.

Good point, a guy could have 5 reviews, not approved, but that might be enough for a lady to 'think' he had sufficient credibility to pass her screening.

That's one good reason. Another is this: sometimes I will get a PM from someone asking for information about a lady. If I don't know the guy, I may use his review count as a gauge as to how much info I share with him. At some level the number of reviews lends legitimacy to the guy's claim to be an experienced hobbyist.

In the same vein, I use how much a guy has contributed to decide if he deserves any help.
