All RoadTest Reviews must be submitted on the official review form, not a blog

Some roadtesters submit their reviews on blogs. This is incorrect. We have a special content type that is used for roadtest reviews. To located the official review form, please go here:

Hi Randall,

I just did for my Pi-Top review. I am aware of the review form, but for structure and periodic updates, some roadtesters, including myself have used this approach. Mainly to avoid a big "blob" in a single post, improving readability and structure.
The review form would then contain links to the various blogs, tying everything together.

Am I to conclude this is not OK to do?

This discussion concerns roadtesters who do not use the official form at all. Instead, they are putting their review only on a blog.

I can understand that if you had a lot to say about a product, placing it all into the official form could be too long.

I just want to make sure roadtesters are using the official form.

Hi Randall, do you contact people that have not carried out the procedure correctly if they have made a mistake? I know my last review was done the right way but seeing it was a long time ago since the previous roadtest that I did, there may have been some changes that I am not aware of.

Hi Malcolm,

Randy and I both watch for reviews to be posted and check through them, so if there is any issue we'll definitely get in touch!
