An "established publisher" with a "track record of quality releases" should be allowed to utalize "instant publishing" to have their product activated and listed immediatly. Only should the product receive an unusual amount of complaints (legit ones) should it be then reviewed. Who defines what an "established publisher" and a "quality release" is? I suppose the store or the people running it. As part of the sign up process it should be the responsilbity of the store to research the company they are signing on to represent/sell. Perhaps a one time review process. The decision is then made and "final". After some time has passed, or a certain amount of products published a "new or unproven publisher" can request a secondary review for an upgrade to access instant activation, which  should of course be a free upgrade.I think that this is the best method that could make everyone happy.Some may ask "whats to stop the store owner from being paid by another publisher behind closed doors to hinder another publisher by keeping them at the review level?" Nothing, except the risk of a bad reputation. The most important thing RPGNow and ENGS have is their positive reputation. I think its a small enough industry that everyone plays fair and policeses themselves.</blockquote>
