Just a thought but I think SR should give consistently good reviewers a bit of recognition and maybe a title over names (something like 'Reviewer or Trusted Reviewer')
These trusted reviewers can leave the kind of feed back and reviews that people want to read, not some over excited mumble about dank mids getting some one higher than the moon or some one saying a product is bad just because they smoked to much!
We need people we can rely on who can be brave enough to speak the truth and also have the experience and understanding to let us know how the product works.
I only smoke weed/hash so I cant speak for other reviews but the weed/hash reviewers on here are first class when they are about, to name a few (Please excuse spell checks)
Rowsdower (Always keeps things honest)
Ron Swanson (Not afraid to speak his mind)
edar (When hes not pretending to be James Bond lol )
incogmaito (New but gets things right)
Zazoo ( Short but sweet)
Twelvepickles( In depth)
Doctornoname (New but knows his stuff for sure, very technical)
Bussellsprouts (Nice to read her stuff, easy on the eye)
If you guys can think of any one else that should be added to the reviewers list please add their names, if we all try and unite as reviewers maybe we can start to shake things up a little bit around here, making sure bad vendors know were on to them and good vendors get the praise they deserve.
If your work qualifies enough to earn the title of reviewer it could then maybe be up to the existing reviewers and other members of SR to decide after reading a few of your reports if they want you as part of the reviewer team and the mods should get involved too.
Just an idea.....

Hey man. This is a pretty good idea actually, hopefully new vendors will be more amenable to sending out free samples if they know they'll get a good review from it.
With regards to the list, there's only a few changes I'd make. First of all, I'd take out edar. It turns out he's Greenfields, and he's had his vendor account shut for faking feedback. (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=132699.0) I wouldn't really trust what he says about rival vendors. For example he was chatting shit about The Bakery recently, and from my own personal experiences with them I know they're great.
I think you've only missed a out couple of people. I'm stick makku in there as well, I remember reading a couple of useful reviews from him, and he seems very knowledgeable.
This may be a bit presumptuous, but the other person is me! I've written a fair few reviews in the UK cannabis thread, just put about 6 up there in one big post recently. I will admit that a couple of those reviews were late as I wasn't able to get on Tor for a while, so I'll understand if you want to hold off adding me to the list until you see I'm being a bit more timely with my reviews.
I don't think this would infringe on Ballz'n'Blargh's Reliable Reviewers thread (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=117957.0), as that seems to be mainly U.S based.

I agree. SR is gaining popularity, new buyers need the confidence to buy. Its nerve-racking as a first time buyer, as you trust no-one and you do not know much about the ins and outs of the marketplace.
If "trusted reviewers" are easily distinguishable and have some official title, then first buyers and relatively new buyers can push business towards the correct vendors and naturally the "other" vendors will loose business and either improve their service or quit.
