Hey!
Posting reviews is something everyone appreciates - as it gives valuable, inside, advice in the gear jungle.
Posting thoroughly prepared, high-quality reviews is also one of the best ways to get admitted as a gmc senior member!
This post is just a first attempt to put together some guidelines (based on Hardtail's earlier post) - if you feel something should be added/subtracted let us know and we will edit!

1) Enough hands-on experience with the reviewed equipment is a must.
2) Reviewer provides actual photos. Actual photos is a plus but not a must. Be sure to include some sort of picture would color the review up. Never link to a picture.
3) Both negative and positive reviews are encouraged, as long as clear reasons for like/dislike are given, enabling people to make their own judgements. Examples:
Bad: "This pedal gives a useless sound"
Good: "This pedal doesn't really give a sound that works for metal, would be better suited to blues"
In the first case you don't know why it is bad. In the second case, if you are a metal player you know not to get it, but if you are a blues player you could still be interested.
4) Reviewer provides price paid. Also, in which country it was bought.
5) Personal musical preference. It is important for others to understand what your perspective is.
6) End the review with a short sum up.
