This important information was in fact missing. We were able to organise 10 sets for the RumX community. ---

agree with @Frank and @Thunderbird. This is what I am basically interested most when scrolling through reviews. I was just thinking how to avoid that all the pic tastings for the Colour of Rum Sets will pop up again as ā€šre-tastingā€˜ šŸ¤” ---

In principle, I find that with the labels also fully in order. I can only say from my own experience that it is often difficult to write a review. As a rule, everything is already written and you repeat it. In addition, I personally often canā€™t think of the right words to avoid repeating myself. And unfortunately it happens that one is improved in comments or was laughed at. Thatā€™s the moment when itā€™s just not fun, and I donā€™t do it. Just as a little suggestion ---

Good point, I added a little more specificity to the description. Only tastings with new photos are counted, in order not to reward the quick re-posting of old tastings. ---

Your experiences with personal tasting notes surprise me now! I have never seen, heard or experienced anything like this before. As for repeating it, it doesnā€™t matter at all, since you are supposed to present your personal feelings there! If it agrees with others, that is also valuable information! So be braveā€¦write what is important to you in your tasting! Only that counts šŸ‘šŸ» ---

Also im Dezember fand Ichs auch nicht so stƶrend. Hatte ja viele Bilder von Verkostungen von frĆ¼her noch eingespeichert und fand die Idee nett, die App etwas aufzuwerten mit mehr Bildern. Daher hƤtte Ich es dieses Mal auch gut gefunden, wenn man eine weitere Funktion mit eingebaut hƤtte. Also z.B. Bild + Kommentar oder etwas Anderes. Oder man von vornherein Retastings ausgeschlossen hƤtte. Allerdings erwarte Ich in diesem Monat deutlich weniger (mal gucken), da alle ja schon ihre gespeicherten Bilder im Dezember hochladen konnte. Nichtsdestotrotz bleibt das natĆ¼rlich nur subjektives Gejammere und Ƥndert nichts daran, daƟ Ich ja auch nichts verliere, wenn Ich nicht so aktiv in diesem Monat teilnehmen werde. Vielen Dank fĆ¼r die Verlosung mit den tollen Preisen! ---

As shortly mentioned above, we **will only count tastings with newly added photos**. So a simple adjustment of the overall rating or adding just one tag to ā€œbumpā€ the tasting post, will not bring any advantages. šŸ˜ŒšŸ™ŒšŸ¼ I will regularly post the current ranking list here again in the course of the month where this way of ā€œcountingā€ can also be followed. ---

Neenee, Ich bezog das Gejammer auf meine Aussage/Beschwerde šŸ˜… Dich wollte Ich damit nicht ā€œangreifenā€. Aber Oliver hat ja schon klargestellt, das ā€œRetastingsā€ diesmal nicht gewertet werden.
