September 2007 I just found that RCI has brought back current reviews! Hooray! See what the website says below. Joan -----------------

RCI has re-introduced Resort Reviews with some exciting enhancements. Resort reviews have been a leading subscribing member request as received in our feedback surveys.

These enhancements include: A member rating system appears in search results when viewing resorts via the online RCI Directory or checking availability. The rating is based on a 5 star system and will reflect member ratings of resort features such as: Overall Rating Activities Amenities Unit Satisfaction Service Family Friendliness Non-member visitors to RCI.com will be able to read reviews, but only RCI members will have access to write and submit Resort Reviews. For all reviews, a formal approval process takes place prior to publishing. Editors review the submission for appropriateness and quality based on an established checklist of standards which has been approved by RCI. Please note: The content within Resort Reviews is not edited or modified, but either approved or rejected in its entirety. Reviews will be archived at RCI's discretion (currently, after one-year). A few preconditions exist for writing and submitting a Resort Review: It requires up to 72 hours for a resort review to be published. During the first few weeks after launch (Aug 26 2007), we expect the delay to last up to one week. Thereafter, the normal 72 hour schedule will be observed. A member may only submit a single review for a given resort. If a member would like to submit a new review before the existing one is archived, the old review must first be removed. Reviews cannot be edited after they are submitted. Reviews may only be removed; once that is done, the member may submit a new review Resort Reviews from the decomissioned RCICommunity.com site will not be used to prepopulate the new Resort Review feature. Reviews from the old feature have been removed and archived. If you disagree with a member's review, use the feedback links provided to "vote-up" or "vote-down" the helpfulness of the review. Likewise, if a review appears to have significant flaws or inaccuracies, or it contains content inappropriate for the RCI membership, please use the link provided for this purpose (i.e., click "Report an inappropriate review").

We hope you find this new Resort Review feature to be a welcome enhancement to the member experience on RCI.com. http://www.rci.com/RCIW/RCIW_index?body=RCIW_KBResultExpanded&type=faq&id=1265

Does anybody know how to leave a review on RCI.com? I can't find a link anywhere. The last review for Grand Beach where we just stayed was in 2004. I think if rci.com made it easier to leave a review maybe more people would!

Also, how do you start a new forum topic? I can't find that on Redweek.Joan

Joan, this is great news. I had suggested to RCI to restart their own review system. They had a review system sometime ago but phased it out. I'm glad they're back. Reviews are very important.

As far as starting a new topic here on Redweek, scroll down to Subject and enter a new topic.
