offlineMemberGood reply Mr landsmithy, you're one of the few that have humour in you, though how often you bother to score other's efforts I think could be worth looking at. Personally, I'm not going to conjecture what Mariachi band sub means,or implies, you filthy animal.

offlineMemberHey, I do comment a fair bit! I'm far from the arbiter of taste anyway, but I do try and make suggestions. I'll bump good stuff that sinks, and make the odd constructive comment, but I try not to be too negative: it can come across as really harsh in a forum, even when it isn't meant to be.

There are loads of other subs around yours which you, and no one else have bothered to score which doesn't seem to bother you. My continual criticism of this site is the lack of pressing the fucking scoring button. As if it costs anything.
BTW I'm the one that's the 5 fairy though I have seen it done by someone else on the the odd occassion.Posted 1 year ago # -

offlineMemberTo be fair Greg, I do often send a PM to people if I think they need a bit of encouragement, I'm very wary of coming across as preachy or over-....ooh, it's the bit in Enter the Dragon with the finger! Don't look at the finger, or you will miss awllllll the heavenly beauty.
I promise to bump more stuff. I do tend to bump stuff I've spent a lot of time of, don't bother with the one liners or short subs that not much effort has gone into.

Can we get a definitive set of guidelines on awarding stars please?
Bonjo thinks people give out 5* ratings too often, greg thinks we don't rate enough.
I try to give stars and comment on anything I like. I tend to avoid giving low ratings because me not finding it funny doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, I just might not understand it.
Not sure going through giving everything 5* really helps anything though.

It's a different perspective which gives folks the opportunity to mark down which often works better than making the critical decision of giving something less than 3 stars.

Ahh, and it's good to change colour scheme occasionally. Much easier than re-painting walls too.

For what my opinion is worth, I think wayland has been very supportive of newbies on here. I have had 2 FPs both with hat tips to wayland for suggestions and constructive advice.so to say that he does not comment or score is silly. Follow the rss feed and you'll see, as well as the PMs sent offering encouragement. As for scoring, I personally give high marks for things i like and as vcg don't mark things I don't as the chances are I just don't get it. If I have things with no comment or stars I look at why, is it a weak headline, poor sub, crap punchline and try to improve instead of sulking. What does piss me off is the person/people 1 staring with no explanation. Right, I'm going back to bed
