Quote from Mindy on Aug 27^th, 2009, 11:55am:

We are removing the Profiling step. We believe that this change will not only provide great relief to artists and card reviewers alike but will significantly speed up the review process for all.

GCU will continue to suggest cards in email reminders but will base this on a card's category vs profile. This makes correct categorization even more important.

This change should be live TODAY, 8/27/09!

My cards just had their profiles removed and are resting comfortably; it seems that neither they nor I felt a thing...

Profiles, going so soon? We hardly knew you!

Bon voyage et merci,

Joan

Oh goodness, not a new card coming on... Congratulations on your profile-ectomy! Wink

You bet-cha, Mindy! When I first started here I thought 'Profiling' would come easier to me as time went on. Well, it kinda did... until we got the new Reviewers. To be quite frank it's been a real nuisance since then. Just last week I had a card approved after a long time sitting in limbo. The Reviewer advised me to Profile it for 'Male' rather than 'Lover'. I wrote back that 'Lover' was the intended audience (with the suggestive verse) and that there was NO Male 'profile'. The Reviewer wrote back that they had now added 'Male' to the profile and changed my profile from 'Lover' to 'Male' and my card was approved.
Shocked

I do believe this will clear up a lot of confusion, save some ruffled feathers, and speed up the whole process.
Thanks a million. kiss

Sue

Ernestine, thanks for asking this one. I was wondering, too.
Barbara, It's like you have a card with a Nativity Scene (or Santa) on front but it gets rejected in the Christmas Catagory because it does not say 'CHRISTMAS' anywhere on the card.
