I look and I see a lot of responses, and that makes me happy, it shows that you're willing to take the first step towards helping out the community, and that makes me glad, I don't know about the others.

However.

Ask yourself this, don't respond to this. Are you doing this to help the community? Or are you doing this because you believe that it's a step up the ladder. Do you think it'll be easy? Those who have done this and read all ten characters, were you tired after that amount? Saying that "Alright, I think that's enough for a day?" maybe sooner? If so, then you aren't a proper candidate for this position.

This was the best way to apply both the variety in characters, and a good amount to give an idea of the stress, but even this isn't perfect. The best thing to do would be to have all of you review the current entirity of Pending over a span of a few days, but we can't do that. If the current amount of Pending daunts you, that's good.

I hate being a reviewer, I really do. It's a thankless job, no one appreciates it and instead all you get in return are people bitching at you about how they're right. If you're willing to bend to people telling you that your review was wrong, you're not proper for this position.

It gets super boring, super fast, you reread the same things over and over again, with no regard for unique things, you start counting how many characters you've read with the same weapons, semblance, and start groaning.

This isn't glamorous, it isn't fun, and it isn't easy. And if you're looking for a mere step up on the totem pole, then let me tell you, people treat reviewers like crap, you're taking a downgrade.

This position is meant for people who'll put their nose to the grindstone and just do it, not because they want to, but because they have to. And I urge you to think about what you expect out of this position by applying, because it wont be thanks and chocolate.
