Panelist Updates

We’ve made a few changes to how paneling works based on some feedback we are receiving…

First off, we have made the application project automatic. No more waiting for an overworked fringe staffer to approve you – you are automatically approved to start reviewing. If we find that bogus panelists are being added, we will go back an disable the account. So, reviews will no longer be slowed down by pending applications. Good Stuff.

We have also enabled a controversial “anonymous” feature to reviews. Many of you have requested this feature and several of you feel uncomfortable with this due to issues of transparency. We weighed both options. In the end, we decided anonymous reviewers may be more honest – especially if they are fellow participants. In the end, these reviews are for the benefit of patrons, and honest reviews lend to a better patron experience. If there is fishiness, we will investigate on our end.

Finally, we have published a list of all panelists so that participants can invite them to attend their shows.

So jump in there and review all the shows you have seen thus far…think of it as a public service.
