That would make the most sense, as the current advanced users have done a lot with Eden and the review program.

Hello Everyone,
While none of these changes have happened yet, the plans for implementation have been approved and should not take that long (if all goes well).
Eden Points:
- The Eden Points Program will be broken down into 2 sections, Trial Period (15 days) & Premium Service. There are also some security measures being put into place on the back end to help us identify abuse. Most of the activities that were removed will be put back in place, but the exact point schedule will not be the same. The Trial Period will be like a checklist, earning a one-time point incentive for exploring all of the tools and services available. The Premium Service will include a number of point adjustments including a very large increase in points for reviews.
Review Program:
- There are a number of Review Program proposals in the works, including some for new or revised templates, but the changes that we have been discussing will be happening. There will be three levels of Advanced Reviewers. These levels will be earned by achieving a minimum rank, submitting a minimum # of reviews, and being a contributor for a minimum period of time. Once you meet these requirements, you will automatically advance. The buyout discounts for each level will increase. This will replace the current free assignment system. We also have the details pretty much worked out for the Mentor Program as well. As for shipping, Buyout assignments do not have free shipping. You may use Eden Points or shipping based promos if you qualify, but there is no plan to change this.
I hope this directly addresses a number of your collective concerns. I will let you know all the specifics and details as soon as I can.
Thank you! less

I am so glad to hear this I was wondering when something like this was going to happen, due to the advanced changes in the point scales just glad to hear about this change.

Amethyst, when I see "Eden Writer" next to someone's name, it sounds MORE impressive to me than "Advanced Reviewer". Of course, I still have very little idea what I'm doing, too...

Yes, that helps....I would just like the ability to change that since I had no idea what I was doing when I first started out. I'd like to actually see Advanced review next to my name. I know my reviews are advanced...

thanks for the information

ty for the updates

If everyone is grandfathered in is current time spent, # of reviews and rank still considered or will we all be put to the same advanced status?
And if I'm correct, rank is still a separate thing? So nothing will change that is rank based (rank needed to become a mentor, editor, etc)?

Very happy with these updates. Can't wait to see them in action!

Does this mean that requests will no longer be free ever again? No more one free a month (which I haven't gotten in probably about a year anyway)? I've been so out of touch.

I used to be an 8.5 or something, and look where I am now. I remember the days when I was ranked number four or so. That was years ago now.

It's also a bummer about the shipping, but understandable. If your rank goes down will you go down a tier? I know that I was an 8.3 this time last year, but I have been taking harder classes and have gone down to a 7.5-6. Say that you had to be over an 8 to be tier 4; would I have fallen down to tier 3 or would I stay at 4 once I reached it? less

Sounds like these might be some good changes. Thanks for the update.

Sounds great! It's so nice to know that Eden listens to their customers while deciding what changes to make! Makes this a great place to shop and hang out!

I think in one of the other updates recently it's been stated that free assignments are no more. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

I think that the increasing in points for reviews will be a much needed change. Sometimes I feel that 50 points is just not worth the time it takes to write a review
04/04/2013
Sounds like you got things going in the right direction!
Thanks Gary!
Thanks Gary!

Neat! I am looking forward to seeing how this works!
04/04/2013
These sound like great changes I'm excited to see them implemented!!
04/04/2013
What sort of buyout percentage(s) are you guys thinking of?
04/04/2013
So let me get this straight eventually ( other than the descriptive review program) we will ONLY be doing buyouts and there will be absolutely no free shipping or shipping discounts to Canada?
