rather than an X in the box. (subject to the Westwell approval committee on wit and content)
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.

they will be back later
Maybe people are too embarassed to leave just a 1 or 2 so opt out altogether or pretend they didn't read it
Some of course don't deserve anything because they are rubbish (eg: my stuff)Posted 3 years ago # -

*ducks behind sofa ... oooh 5p, fluff, three toffees and a gimp mask*
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.

Go on then, I'll bite...
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.
'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)
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!

Plus - I don't even understand half the subs (especially about TV or celebrity) so don't feel qualified to vote, even though I may have read the sub. A lot of it goes over my head.Posted 3 years ago #
