NEW - Please submit only one RDTF-related Oven Fodder post per week to prevent an overload of work in Oven Fodder for the staff.
Overview
I'm creating this task force following a comment I recently made in Oven Fodder, and after receiving permission from the staff. The objective is to have an organized way of reading accepted reviews and weed out what shouldn't be here, starting out with the most reviewed releases. Users interested in helping can ask to be assigned to the album of their choice (from the "Available" list below) and will then have a month to read each review and carefully determine which ones should be deleted for that release. This is not a contest. You won't receive points or prizes. This is only to help the site get rid of unwanted reviews on a large/thorough scale. This will be an ongoing process and I will continue to add more albums to the available list of releases, and each section will get updated as the releases are completed by or assigned to the volunteers.
Rules- One release at a time. You can always volunteer to do more when you're done with your current assignment. If you decide you want to switch to another release or you decide you don't have the time anymore, just say so and it will be assigned to someone else.
- One release, per person, per week. Additional releases may be assigned at any time (after your last report), but please wait at least seven days from your last RDTF-related Oven Fodder post to submit another report.
- You have up to one month to finish each release. This is way more time than what most people will need, but there should be some limit in case a volunteer forgets or gets too busy to work on it, so another user can take his/her place.
- First-come, first-served. The first person to request an album in this thread will have it assigned to them.
- Be familiar with the review rules and proper spelling/grammar. Music description is the biggest thing to keep in mind when reading each review, but all other rules, general review knowledge, and knowledge of English spelling/grammar is of course required to come to proper conclusions about which reviews should stay or go.
- Don't rush! It's not a contest. The most important thing, and the whole reason, for doing this is to get rid of reviews that don't belong.
- Preferably be familiar with the album in question. There isn't much way to enforce this, but it's best that you know the release you want to do so you'll be aware of any factual inaccuracies or objectively wrong music description.
- There is no required number for how many reviews you should report for deletion. It's possible that no reviews need to be deleted on a page, and that's fine.
- Feel free to use this thread for cases that you're unsure about to get additional opinions.
Process- Determine which release you want to read.
- Post in this thread when you decide and state the name. If you're the first person to request that release, you can automatically start, and 30 days will begin counting down from your post date.
- Use as much of the one month as you need to read every review, but don't post your findings until you have read all of the reviews.
- Post the review(s) that should be deleted in Oven Fodder, along with a mention that your findings are related to this task force. If none need to be deleted, post a message in this thread or PM me.
- I'll keep an eye on Oven Fodder every day, but you can write a message here or PM me when you've completed a release, and optionally you can then ask for a new assignment if desired.
Below is the list we'll use to keep track of the releases. The number next to each release name in the "Available" section is the current number of reviews for that release. The names of the users assigned to each release will be written next to the name for every respective release in the "In Progress" and "Done" sections, as well as a due date in the "In Progress" section.
