There are a lot of subs that get nothing, at the moment. It is difficult to know why. Bless us all. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2495#post-7580 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 15:39:36 +0000 Mary Evans 7580@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I rather like the idea of a Westwell Approved Newsbiscuit Kommittee. We could all have one. </p> <p>I dunno. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't round here. I used to go around giving every single sub a one and people didn't like that either. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2495#post-7539 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 12:28:08 +0000 o b sensible 7539@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>No ducks behind my sofa.

A lot of it goes over my head. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2495#post-7467 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 08:43:50 +0000 Scroat 7467@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>(subject to the Westwell approval committee on wit and content)</blockquote></p> <p>As opposed to the Ramblesid approval committee on wit and content, of course. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2495#post-7449 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 08:05:22 +0000 jp1885 7449@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Go on then, I'll bite...</p> <p>I don't always have time to read, vote and comment on every single post (I limit how long I spend on the internet at work, and don't have much PC time at home). If the headline attracts my attention, then I'll probably read that sub eventually.</p> <p>'If you can't say (or vote) anything positive, don't say (or vote) anything at all'. Unless I find something really funny, I won't vote or comment (unless I think I can offer some genuinely constructive criticism). Even if I do mark a post, I won't always comment, having being accused in the past of being overly-gushing (in my defence I did mop up after myself). I usually refrain from commenting on FPs too - they're all good, so I don’t want to end up repeating myself)</p> <p>A lot of my stuff settles to the bottom of the tank with zero stars. Hey-ho - I'm not going to vote for myself, and if nobody else felt strongly enough to do so then fair enough - there are worse things in the world to worry about! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2495#post-7435 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 07:15:48 +0000 sauce 7435@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>But Sid, clearly you're saying that lack of voting is an issue and we should engage holistically with the subs board? </p> <p>*ducks behind sofa ... oooh 5p, fluff, three toffees and a gimp mask*</p> <p>There are some subs I don't have time to read (and anything about football - *yawn*) but I do vote for around 1/3 those on the board. As Ed says, 1 or 2 seems insulting. Or should we score EVERYTHING? Might just not be time for many. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2495#post-7423 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 05:52:08 +0000 edward hack 7423@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I think the tide must have washed them back out to sea<br /> they will be back later<br /> Maybe people are too embarassed to leave just a 1 or 2 so opt out altogether or pretend they didn't read it<br /> Some of course don't deserve anything because they are rubbish (eg: my stuff) </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2495#post-7395 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:56:25 +0000 ramblesid 7395@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>As you have to talk to politicians as part of your job, I think you're exempt, Blacky.

(subject to the Westwell approval committee on wit and content)<br /> Looking through the last couple of pages, the subs left without a vote and the people who have been on here today, what is your problem with giving someone a mark? I know I haven't, today, but if I did you wouldn't see my point would you. </p>
