Feel free to post your thoughts on this possible future feature here.
For anyone wondering what a CSV is, it's just a basic text file format for transferring data (separating each item by carriage return and each item's values by commas) from one place to another. It's supported by every spreadsheet I've ever come across, including Excel. |

I guess it could be handy if someone wanted to publish a book. It would only be one's own reviews, yeah?

It would be useful for me, as I'm considering setting up a rival site called FWMR (Four Word MOVIE Review) and naturally I'd steal all my reviews and everyone else's while I was at it.
Either that or I'm considering nothing of the sort and can export them easily enough as it is.  |

I don't know what a C.S.V. file is but if as it seems it would be for saving my reviews into an Excel spreadsheet then I would like so long as it included submission date and/or I.D. number. Currently, I can only enter these manually and I can only access the former at all by putting the review in my For your consideration selection.
I'd also like to be able to export pending and rejected reviews (the former would help with knowing what films are left to target in accolades and the latter would be useful for checking ideas already used, since we cannot currently order either category by film title or any other parameter than submission/rejection order respectively), and for all reviews have a record of the number of passes and the any explanation box or rejection-reason history. This would be helpful for knowing what types of reviews are allowed and what are not. |

Whether csv export is offered or not, one reason one might want to save one's reviews locally is if there were a rogue MERP who removed pre-existing reviews.
When I first joined FWFR, there were some reviews that I thought were funny that are no longer on the site. Some of them were removed, I think, during the pre-Webbies cleanup of a few years ago. |

Slight flaw in this logic is that the MERPs don't actually have the power to remove pre-existing reviews. |

That is good to know. Thanks. If a review is flagged with the Report link, who determines whether it shall be deleted? |

Are they not human? Do they not, as humans, have bad days occasionally, and occasional 'OH SHIT!' moments? benj knows darn well how much I admire his creation and his achievements as a web developer; he doesn't need me to constantly suck up to him like a silly fangirl.
ETA: As for MERPS, why put any faith into these guys: http://fwiffer.com/fwfrarchive/FILESlist.asp?showmaster=1&THEME=6 |

Well, first off, no-one but the owner of a review can *delete* a review. I might decline a review if it's been flagged for my attention and I agree, but if so it will be returned to your decline pile. |

As well as/instead of this, it would be extremely helpful if one could sort pending/declined reviews by film name/number of passes/decline reason/whether or not one has flagged the film. |

| I've now copied all my pending and declined reviews, and now that I've done it I'm so glad I have. I've integrated it with my list of films that I want to review, and it's so useful to see for each one whether I've ever tried any idea and if so what reviews I've got pending, over quota or rejected for it. I'm just posting this here to endorse that it's useful to export this information, and it would obviously be preferable if it were automated (the lists here have different formats and so it took a while making the dates &c. consistent). |

| I dont think I meant it the way it was taken. Sure...It is known that I question MERPs at some point. Weather they get or understand us. What I meant to say was.....how should I explain this. This is going back to Benj's competency. Benj picked the MERPs. Benj must trust the MERP's. I am sure Benj understands that they are only human. So I was quite sure that Benj had a system in place that would protect our reviews from a rogue MERP. Benj has been doing this for awhile....Im sure he knows the ins and outs. He's not about to make a dumb mistake. Thanx for your concern Salopian. |
