I am just curious because I have 2 students that have both submitted 1 review each and both were pretty good reviewers. I keep sending them a message to check in and I always get a message back fairly quickly saying they will finish it up soon. Then another month or two goes by and on goes the same cycle. So when would you drop them? I don't have any issues keeping them and I'm not having issues with them trying to upgrade, just that they don't get on or write their final review.
I also have two students that signed up 2 almost 3 months ago and have not contacted me about their class after I have a few times. Neither one have submitted a review nor have they requested an upgrade. But how long do I wait? Thanks!

I send people who request me as a mentor a pre-written introduction to the program, the rules, my expectations as well as both of our responsibilities. I ask them to contact me once they have accepted an assignment so that I can keep track of the due dates; that they begin working on their assignments by week 3, so that we have time to send it back and forth for corrections if need be, and that they maintain contact with me at least once a week just to let me know that they are still around and prepared to do the work. I also let them know that if there are circumstances in their lives that will make it impossible or too difficult for them to focus on their reviews for a while that they need to contact me so that I am aware, and if need be, can help them contact admin over it so they do not run into problems.
If I have not heard from a student for 2 to 3 weeks, I will contact them with a request for an update, if they do not reply within a few days I will send them a warning that if they do not contact me back within one week, I will cancel their class. The only students who I am more relaxed about are the ones who are already advanced reviewers. This is because in general they require less work, are actually prepared to do the work, are usually quite familiar with the whole system, and above all, because I am not putting my reputation on the line by requesting products for them, which they just take off with and never review.
