Of course none of the successful writers spend anytime time thinking about or refining what they post, but why not let us know what you think, after The Wanted and All Time Low... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56542#post-163539 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 22:54:58 +0000 Truebiscuit 163539@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A total, 100% ban Scribbler? Not a partial 100% ban, or a 34% total ban then?</p> <p>It's not the style you write in that anyone's moaning about Scibbler, it's just that it's all a bit shit.</p> <p>It's called News biscuit, it's a satirical news site. Writing in a different 'style' that avoids humour, clarity or basic fucking grammar is unlikely to catch on.</p> <p>Piss. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56542#post-163537 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 22:48:14 +0000 scribbler 163537@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>@Paddy, Have 3 problems with what you say.</p> <p>1. Even supposing that the style police on this site were funny in themselves and represented a core of a funny style that typified the site, the idea that others should try to fit in with it would cause it to progressively narrow and would choke off innovation.</p> <p>2. The self-appointed style police (or talentless territorial bullies as they might be termed) like Lens Cap and Truebiscuit are not actually funny. Go and look at their jokes. They're amongst the least funny people on the planet. (Or what Truebiscuit would call "the fucking planet")</p> <p>3. If you like the average post here, then you're a happier man than me, Gungadin. I think a total 100% ban on puns would be a very good start at improving matters. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56542#post-163498 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:05:30 +0000 lane-avenger 163498@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56542#post-163494 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:59:39 +0000 Paddy Berzinski 163494@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Speaking as more of a reader than a writer, I enjoy the vast majority of entries on NB. My impression is that the guidelines give NB a recognisable identity, which is what readers (myself included) have come to expect, and why they keep coming back. It's better to try to fit in with the site style than rebel against it. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56542#post-163489 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:52:57 +0000 Audible Minority 163489@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Rumour has it that his grandchildren work for a credit reference agency. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56542#post-163486 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:47:43 +0000 lane-avenger 163486@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ach!

At least every time you post. Lens is going to have his hands full. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56542#post-163477 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:36:01 +0000 Audible Minority 163477@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thank you for your explanation, Lens Cap. If I understand correctly then whenever any of us dies, you have power of attorney. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56542#post-163470 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:29:26 +0000 Lens Cap 163470@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Not biting, just telling you what people do here. You have an issue with that, and that's fine. Although you wouldn't have an issue if I had said brilliant on all your subs and given five stars. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56542#post-163467 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:26:44 +0000 Truebiscuit 163467@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>This is piss-poor. Some say 'funny' is objective, but sadly 'complete and total shit' is less so. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56542#post-163462 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:23:24 +0000 lane-avenger 163462@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>No need to bite (although you did) </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56542#post-163426 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 18:37:16 +0000 Lens Cap 163426@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I think funny is objective. So if I think something is funny ill day if not ill also say. That's the point of the forum. Spend a bit if time in something, put in some proper jokes and don't flounce if someone doesn't like your stuff and maybe you won't get one star</p> <p>Failing that, go to thespoof.co.uk.
