Most helpful. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=13748#post-37344 Sat, 09 Oct 2010 00:26:29 +0000 SingingHinny 37344@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The general etiquette appears to be that you wait graciously for a small handful of replies, then reply yourself with dignity and restraint. Or you can just bump them up for the craic. I have done so shamelessly and it doesn't appear to be frowned upon. Well, not too badly anyway. Really though, I wouldn't stress about it as it will not detract from the quality of the sub, and whilst it does bump it to the top, the editor is rather more thorough than that It is no more likely to get published, hence I don't think it bothers anyone. Therefore, just reply as and when you see fit. </p> <p>Now creating an alter-ego, or several, and voting for yourself many times - there's a touchy subject! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=13748#post-37342 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 23:13:08 +0000 Chip Paper 37342@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hello all</p> <p>Though I'm a big fan, I submit very infrequently and am only just getting to grips with the new - and much improved - Writers' Room. </p> <p>What I wanted to ask was this... What is the etiquette when responding to feedback to submissions now that we have 'pop-to-the-top' for subs? </p> <p>Previously, if you posted a 'Thank You' for generous feedback, you wouldn't upset the chronological order of submissions by pushing your effort back to the top of Page One (and consequently shoving a more recent sub off it).</p> <p>With the new system, I am hair-twistingly torn as to what's the done thing (sad, nail-chewing, obsessive that I am). Any pointers gratefully received .... and duly acknowledged... or should I.... </p>
