Your Perfection Reviews
Recent applicant Arwen expressed frustration over my lack of promptness regarding sending her reviews. If you would like to see your reviews (this applies to existing members as well as applicants), just email me. However, you should be aware of the following:
1) Receiving your reviews is a privilege, not a right. When I started Perfection, the reviews were meant to be private. However, I decided to make them available upon request after several applicants and members expressed interest in viewing their reviews.
2) The Perfection members value their anonymity so I screen all reviews manually. I don't have a handy dandy script to do this so it may take some time to hear back from me. Apparently it's not obvious that I have an offline life (although I did mention twice in my blog that I would be on vacation.)
3) As mentioned in the Guidelines, the members are very selective. Please be aware that the reviews may be harsh. Don't get upset and accuse the members of being "snobby" if you're rejected — you knew this was a possibility when YOU applied to the community.

She's complaining about your "delayed" response after waiting one or two days? :/

To help along the process, I went to shiny.nu and left a review of it, as I see it now, to tide her over until she receives all the Perfection reviews. :)

I couldn't help myself and I left a review too. I mean, I'm sorry she thinks we're jerks, I really am, but we review sites. I try to leave constructive criticism to help people improve, but in the end it is a review and she ASKED for it by applying.
I guess I just think it's sad that someone asked for a review, didn't get the balloons and roses they were expecting, and then decided we're all "bitches" out to hurt people's feelings. I mean... that's not necessarily the most valid conclusion, is it? Perhaps the website could use some work?
So frustrating.

If it makes you feel any better, I love you Meggan :)
And I know you're not a bitch :D

I left her one as well. I'll be fine with her entry on perfection if the community did really wrong her in some way. But the fact is, we didn't. It seems like her resentment for perfection is the result of not being accepted even after working so hard on her layout. Calling Perfection names is just not warranted in that case.
