Reviews Turning Back On?

I realize there may still be issues with the reviewing, and it was taken down to prevent the bad reviews from the bug-ignorant, and that there is dissatisfaction with the accompanying tagging system...
... if any of that is still being resolved, then I can certainly be patient.
However, I was wondering if there was an ETA on the Reviews being turned back on.
I will have a good chunk of time this weekend, and I usually try to help get various new quests out of Beta limbo... but if they are still shut off, we aren't able to make progress towards 5 Reviews.
I can still help make progress toward 20 plays, but would rather hit two birds if I can.
If I'm tardy to the party and this is already back on, ignore this
I just haven't seen any comments/posts regarding this, and thought I would ask.

I am also curious as to when this is expected to be turned back on. I would really like some feedback about my quests. Although people on the forums here are usually very helpful on this note, there are many players that do not bother with the forums. They just want to play. I value their feedback as well and can't wait to get that opportunity again.

Agree just published first 2 parts to my Campaign, but without reviews it's not even showing up as subscribed!
Ergo, the only published quests that potentially need fixing are the 'Spotlights' that only the devs can edit. Hope they are getting a move on with these, so the review system can get back to normal asap

That's simplistic at best.
The Foundry is never going to be a static tool and authors should allow for the fact that as the software evolves they may need to make adjustments to their quests. Some authors take issue with this and have withdrawn their quests; at least where possible. The dev team appears to have taken responsibility for the Spotlight quests the authors are unable to edit.
I don't see a problem with this. Of course it means we lose some great quests - and I lament this as much as anybody - but the fact that some authors do not wish to undertake any more work on their quests does have a plus side. It means less abandoned quests in the catalogue and more space/less competition for authors who are still committed to their work.
Providing feedback is the best way to ensure that future expansions to the Foundry cause less chaos. So too does taking part in the Preview program.
I would like a ETA as well. I think the most of us have been patient more then the avg player.
Indeed, but that could potentially be a very long time. Programming has shown me that every time one bug is fixed there is a decent chance that it will create another one and the process starts all over again. Of course things will eventually get hammered out in the end, but it can be time consuming. This can sometimes make it difficult for the client, players/authors in this case, to remain patient past a certain point.
I absolutely understand this and I agree. In regards to my statement above this quote it is true that software (especially new) is a dynamic, ever changing beast. This means that it will evolve over time and those using the tools provided by the developer should be open minded to tweaking their quests over time. I do have to admit though that I have spent more time tweaking my old quests than working on my new ones. I should not have to spend more time on old quests than on new quests. At least not on a regular basis in my opinion.
I would like to know when review/tips will be turned back on. I have put the last two parts of my campaign on hold because the last couple of weeks has been frustrating. I am not quitting, but I am certainly in no hurry to put them out there and not receive reviews or potential tips for my efforts. Don't get me wrong, I can do without the tips as that is just a pleasant bonus, but not the reviews. The reviews for me are a reward for my time and effort. I love seeing those stars...yes, even the low stars. That means that someone took the time to let me know what they liked/disliked and to give me a clue on how to improve.
