Provoke a review: Think you’re special.

I was looking through the review requests at Captious at 8:00pm and I found this:
I look forward to this review. I’m a reviewers nightmare. Each section of my domain has a different layout, theme, secrets, and feel. My domain is how I feel web design should be: art. Not just hold pictures of me, have real long unnecessary text of how my day went with my friends, talk about everything sad little detail about what I like and don’t like, and all the other crap a normal personal domain has and you see over and over again.
I lack in content, I understand, which is something you review. I just ask that you keep in mind though, what I am trying to do through Remidica and not punish me for something that I am purposely lacking.”
By 11:30pm, I have a 7 page review completed to be looked over by the rest of the staff.
Thinking that you’re special is perhaps the most effective way of provoking a review from me.
There was this other girl from a while ago. She had already been rejected but she emailed us back and asked when she wasn’t going to receive a review claiming that she has read everything on the site. She had followed the rules, she said, despite the fact Captious has no rules. I redirected her to our FAQ, and she replied to ask again. This time, she asked if her site was bad because it obviously couldn’t be, she received awards damnit! I was tempted to give her a review. Then Elysa stepped in and saved her from me.
