Because of lack of interest from previous checkers, I'm going to implement a new procedure soon. One that involves sending a review via PM to each new recruit first before they join, in order to test if they're really willing to help.

And of course let's not forget the PoE reward bonuses for checkers that will also be implemented, and (hopefully) other goodies .

If you're serious about it, I'll send you a review to check, and if you complete it, you'll be added to the Squad.

Hey Acethor - I've recently signed up to the AB Times and wouldn't mind lending a helping hand grammar-wise. Shoot me over a review and I'll flex my grammatical muscles :thumbs:

As others here I can't guarantee I'll be able to work through reviews like a machine, but it'll be something to fill in my spare time at work! Thanks

Okay, reviews in need of checking sent to CyberDiablo, Bazly, DarkArmada, and Gondring (who offered his help via PM, and who also happens to be the former EIC of two newspapers). If you can pass the test, you're in!

Thanks Acethor - I've PM'd you back the proofed review. I'll be focusing alot of my time here helping out with AT but I'm fine to proof reviews when I've got a bit of free time.

I'm also spending a lot of time on abandonia and am a student of English studies at my local university. Need any more grammar freaks?

There isn't anything wrong with the grammar, but alot of people would write it and I am. Both ways would be correct though.

Hi there,

send me one, then, and let me prove I'm worthy to join the noble Grammar Squad.

I am quite happy to help, in fact with my random wandering I have already picked up a couple of reviews that have either spelling mistakes or incorrect grammar. I'm not sure how much has to be wrong with a review or how easy it is for you (or me or whoever gets to do it) to fix, but when my baby goes to sleep I have a lot of time on my hands. Feel free to PM me that review and I'll check it.
