Forum/Website Reviews?

[Bryn]

It'd be nice if this forum can have a section where members can request a review of their forum, blog or website and that any staff can give feedback on it, something that I think Forum Promotion once had years ago. There can also be an option for a quick or in-depth review.

Just a thought, that's all

I don't really think this is going to get a lot of demand and will end up getting removed in the end due to lack of use but if you want to go ahead with such a service. You could make this service be a task of the content team to start and if there shows that there is enough demand for it then you can later spin it off into its own service with its own team so that way you don't hire a bunch of people to fulfill a service that ultimately doesn't work out. I would converse with your content team first before even making this move to get their input and willingness to go along with it if you end up considering this path forward. If you start it out with its own team then you risk either bloating the staff team or forcing people out if you end up deciding the service isn't going to work out and end up cutting it loose which I would rather avoid taking that risk if at all possible.

I like the thought of "drive-by" critiques more than fully blown-out reviews. Reviews can sometimes be run-ons and you can create a list of ideas you have to improve a person's board, you don't have to have everything in paragraph form. With that being said, people can already critique a user's board in the promotion forum if they so wish, so I think it's either unnecessary or as @Bluezone777 mentioned, it can be an addendum to a current service.

Something in me says that having multiple people each focusing on their own speciality could be a new and interesting method to review.

We’ve always been accustomed to a reviewer taking all parts, but what if we have per example 2-3 reviewers working on 1 review request? That could make the process lighter for everyone.

I mean that could work but again you'd have to have 2-4 different reviewers and if you're having trouble finding members that are motivated enough to perform a review that may be an issue as well.
