Book review approval

I wrote a book review for David the Good's "Compost Everything," and got an anonymous Purple Moosage:

"Thank you so much for your review! We have a bunch of Review Grids, and for your review to show up on one, it needs the magic phrase that our forum software picks up on. Could you add the words, "I give this # out of 10 acorns" to your post with the # replaced with the numeral of your choice? It's a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being the worst thing ever and 10 being absolutely amazing?

Here's the link to your review if you wish to edit it: https://permies.com/wiki/49933/Compost-David-Goodman#2295825

Not sure if this is a generic message sent to all of those who post a book review, or if there's something else I need to do.

When I posted the review the first line was "I give this book 9.5 out of 10 acorns" so it should have triggered the bot, yes?

Does it usually take a few days for a book review to be approved and added to the grid? Just wondering, because I have a couple more reviews coming...

Good Morning Jim!

On your book review post you have put "I give this 9 acorns"

If you could go in and edit it to " I give this book 9 out of 10 acorns" then the background hamsters know to pull the numbers off your review.

Once that is done, if you use the 'report' function asking for the review grid to be updated then that can be done! Just know, for the first few reviews your name might not appear on the grid. It took me a few review submissions before my name populated.

That is super helpful. Thank you very much.
