Putting them on your original sub would help them because then they can just use the tags from there.</p> <p>I generally don’t put tags on my stories but have done a couple of times. One of those subs was used on the FP but the tags I’d put on it weren’t used. So I spat my dummy out and stopped putting tags on again.</p> <p>Given that WoM is awarded to the story with the most hits, if the tags from the original sub were used on any stories used on the FP then it could make for some interesting use of tags.</p> <p>Hmm... I’m going to go back through and tag my mild-mannered reporter story, just in case it gets used. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53981#post-156098 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:33:23 +0000 beau-jolly 156098@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Please try harder. This was almost the first flounce of the year but sort of fizzled out.<br /> I am surpised to say that I have been enjoying Bourbon's contributions. (s)he's got a niave innocence and is a biscuit who doesn't take him/herself too seriously. I have not seen anything nasty or malicious. No trollery at all.</p> <p>wrt to any self-starring. Does this really happen? Why would you? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53981#post-156092 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:17:21 +0000 Oxbridge 156092@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Seems a bit playground-y to say 'you started it', but in this instance, Bourbon, you did. I never have. Maybe the recycling issue might have died away if I had decided not to respond at all, but then again maybe not. Mr 1-star troll has been at it for years now, after all. </p> <p>Yikes - yes, that's what tags are meant to be for and they should ideally all be tagged. That's the theory anyway. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53981#post-156078 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 11:55:15 +0000 Yikes 156078@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>5 starring one's own subs does seem a little pointless - as I suppose is one starring such posts as a counter-balance. </p> <p>Anyway, I have a question re tags - I notice some stories (including I think this one) are posted with tags. Is the idea of this to help the editor if the story is chosen for the FP? If the answer is yes, should most stories be posted with tags? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53981#post-156071 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 11:10:21 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 156071@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I’m sure you’ve made that comment before Oxy but I can’t find the original.</p> <p>I have a theory that the person that one-stars everything you post is doing it in response to you five-starring your stories as soon as you sub them. I may be completely wrong of course, but next time you post something try leaving it un-starred and see if they still give it one (snigger).</p> <p>If they do then log back in and give it 5 to get the rating back up.</p> <p>I don’t think there’s anything wrong with scoring your own subs by the way. I do think it’s a little unnecessary though, because it should go without saying that you think it’s good, otherwise why have you posted it? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53981#post-156070 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 11:02:43 +0000 Bourbon 156070@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Nobody is making a 'big issue' out of it other than you. I just pointed out you could use it again, which is something you said you like to do.</p> <p> Nice rant though, although it comes across as a little needy and 'I'm a victim'. Do you feel better? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53981#post-156067 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 10:48:42 +0000 Oxbridge 156067@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Nope, I'm just Oxbridge, I have not used any other IDs and have no plans to. No idea who Custard Cream is or whether you or Wayland use any others. </p> <p>Yes, it is slighly irritating when people make a big issue of my 'recycling' - although that's not really an accurate term, since I almost always update or otherwise modify them, hence re-posting rather than just bumping the original up. It's no big deal, lots of people do it and some of my FPs have made it at the 3rd attempt, which is the most I usually try. My November one about the US election, which was second for WotM, was recycled from a couple of months earlier. Lots of good stuff gets overlooked because there just happened to be something else the editor of the day liked better. </p> <p>It's also slightly irritating and a bit bizarre that someone who I've never met (he know who he is and it isn't Bourbon, for the record) automatically one-stars everything I write and adds in most of the 'witty' tags, but there you go. I assume that's all meant to provoke a flounce from me. It won't. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53981#post-156005 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:58:41 +0000 Bourbon 156005@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Define troll. An irritant I may be, but not a troll dear oxy. I just made a point that you could try again next year. You said you like to recycle so not sure of your issue. </p> <p> Anyway, happy new year!</p> <p>Ah, and I'm not W/smithy. I am bourbon. That's like saying oxy is custard cream, oh hold on, I might be onto something here... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53981#post-155927 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 09:37:57 +0000 Oxbridge 155927@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Good idea Bourbon.

With nothing remotely good at all likely to happen during its 365 days, 2013 has bought a stout pair of hiking boots so that it can fuck right off, borrowed a rope to enable it to just fucking die and grown both male and female genitalia so that it can go fuck itself.</p> <p>'I can only apologise,' said 2013, 'but I have nothing to offer Britain except unemployment, pissing rain, Manchester United back on top of the league and the remote but still scary possibility that the US actally will deport Piers Morgan back here. In the circumstances, I would probably avoid happening altogether if I could. Unfortunately, the space-time continuum appears to make that impossible.'</p> <p>Britain has told the three years since the downturn began to do one in increasingly venomous terms. 2011, for instance, is now permanently disabled after agreeing to demands to shove the coalition up its arse, while 2009 died after a failed operation to extricte the entire banking industry from its own.</p> <p>2012 was grudgingly given a chance. However, the brief feeling of contentment caused by people in lycra cycling quite well has now passed, to be replaced by profound gloom at the realisation that they are actually going to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of the frigging coronation.</p> <p>'All I'll say in my defence is you may as well sit through me,' said 2013. 'After all, 2014: the usual World Cup exit on penalties in the quarter final, Scotland votes for independence, meaning a big Tory majority in 2015 and probably forever after. And all in the same year as the 600th anniversary of Agincourt and the 200th anniversary of Waterloo. Oooh, the Daily Mail is going to love that. Think on.' </p>
