People seem to get 3-5 stars for writing similar stuff to people who you give no stars to. So I would say thatcould be an issue of literacy.</p> <p>I've been approching this by writing a range of posts and considering the feedback carefully. I've had some good feedback and am still finding the creative challenge fun, but there is the issue of subjectivity.</p> <p>Not everything that makes the front page gets a smile out of me, but some of the articles have made me laugh till the tears roll down my arms.</p> <p>The challenge for me is that while I enjoy Have I Got News For You, and Mock The Week, on the rare occasions I get around to turning on the TV, I neither watch nor read the news, which makes satirical parody a new venture.</p> <p>Who knows, this might help me see what's going on outside of my head. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58297&page=2#post-169420 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:49:17 +0000 blacklesbian 169420@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>See - it happened again!!</p> <p>NB You could also reduce the maximum length of a username in the registration form, good validations are the sign of a well built user interface. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58297&page=2#post-169419 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:47:43 +0000 blacklesbian 169419@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Excuse me your majesty Mr Editor sir, but can you chop my end off? It has been pointed out that my username runs into the text when I post and as a consequence my hilarious posts are not getting as many stars as they deserve. I was thinking I could be a black lesbian but maybe without the pride, it is one of the seven sins after all.</p> <p>IRYOS</p> <p>BL </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58297&page=2#post-169414 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:36:26 +0000 LensCap 169414@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hear hear! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58297&page=2#post-169408 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:51:07 +0000 Lens Cap 169408@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Couldn't agree more B-J. I was called a cunt for commenting but rarely subbing and received abuse from a member who spends most of his day here. I have also had someone calling themselves LensCap and using the same avatar, but seeing as my face doesn't fit it's not important. </p> <p> Surely if the big admin hammer comes down on one then it has to apply across the board. Being called a cunt for airing an opinion seems out of order and against the values of the site </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58297&page=2#post-169407 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:44:45 +0000 sponge finger 169407@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>&lt;yoink&gt; </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58297&page=2#post-169405 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:43:19 +0000 beau-jolly 169405@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Dear Points of View: Why oh why oh why do fuckwits always insist on pointing out that you haven't written anything funny when you gently indicate their weeknesses?

You could be anyone.<br /> For all we know you could be Grant Schapps or one of his many personas. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58297#post-169333 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 12:43:37 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 169333@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I get the impression that the site tries to operate without any personal bias. If somebody consistently acts like a prick then you tend to read their work with a negative attitude, determined not to like it before you even start, meaning they have to write something exceptional for you to grudgingly admit that it’s quite good.</p> <p>The editorial team try to ignore that and will publish something they like regardless of who has written it. It’s kind of like an equal opportunities policy for twats.</p> <p>Having said that I still think the “pope’s ring” joke was weak. But that’s just my personal opinion and doesn’t necessarily reflect the opinion of VCG or any subsidiaries.</p> <p>Things are looking up already though, James Patching is back - hooray! </p>
