Just wondering how long it normally takes to approve member reviews ?

It would be good if the owner of the resource was notified of receiving a review, and the content of the review, then just a note reminding them it won't show publicly untill approved. A simmilar message is probably sent to the member writing the review, but I think it should be sent to both reviewing member and the script owner.

Nearly a week since someone claims they posted a review for one of my scripts, and still nothing.. I wish there was a way to check pending reviews..

Maybe, to keep the Quality a very less number of them get approved !!

There is a large number of reviews still in the queue that I have yet to go through. I go through as many a day as I can. Keep in mind that the reviews must be of quality content and not just contain one word, such as "good" or "cool". Also keep in mind that if there are web links in the review of any kind (be it to the reviewer's site or someone else's site) that the review is not accepted.

You single handedly have to approve every review yourself ? I thought you'd have at least half a dozen moderators for that task. I won't bug you about how soon reviews get approved, but I would like to know if there are any pending.

I would highly doubt the latest review that was placed, contained a single word like cool or good.. I wouldn't want such a thing anyway..

As for web links, do you mean just a url mentioned in the comment, or an HTML link ? the latter is highly unlikely.. I didn't even know you could put HTML into reviews and descriptions... it's not mentioned anywhere I can find..

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to respond.. :-)

There are reviews in the queue waiting for me to take a look at them. As for the web link, neither is acceptable be it just a "http://www.somesite.com" or an actual HTML link.
