 Put any five reviews you like in your F.Y.C. list.
 Do not use reviews from the previous round - you must change them every round.
 Post here to declare that you've done it. Sooner is better than later.
 Provide a spoiler warning in your post when appropriate.
 You must read the F.Y.C.s of all participants.
 The next round starts on Monday or Thursday at 6:00 a.m. FWFR time, whichever comes next.

Just as sadly some people have the right to be arrogant and unpleasant, it would seem. |

Thanks very much. It will of course be appearing in the FYC very soon.

I've always done VV posts simply because when I arrived on FYCTH, it seemed to be the norm! But like demonic, I usually also make a comment about a favourite review/set or a 5/5.

That is true. Or the other way round; you click onto the thread to see if it's a comment and it's just a VV.

Well, you entered these rounds for a long time before the V&V posts started, so that's not really the case.

That's a separate matter altogether. I do both those things (starting the latter before anyone else did and regularly doing the former before many started doing so). It's the otherwise empty V&V posts that we are talking about here. (However, if one praises certain reviews &c., saying "V&V" in the same post does seem rather redundant.)

And no one has said otherwise. People have the right to be as boring and/or untrusting as they like. |

I have voted but was unable to say so last night because the site became unavailable just after I'd posted on another thread (cheers, dem).
Strikes me as faintly daft to feel obliged to make the 'v & v' statement each time, but I suppose that at least it serves as a sort of aide-m�moire for those of us with a rubbish memory, like me for instance.
My personal aide-m�moire is to post each week on Facebook that I've voted, tout the website a bit, give examples of great reviews (yeah and some of my own) and invite my 100+ FB friends and their friends to stop on by, take a look around, have a laugh and try their hands at writing pithy puns on films. Don't actually know if it works, but I feel like I'm doing my own part to publicize us, in any case and I know some friends look and read because they make comments on given reviews or irreverent feedback, which is just as good. |

Faintly? It stems from a time when people for some reason started not trusting that everyone had voted, which is very sad whether because of the lack of voting or the lack of trust. I always vote, and in all other similar threads in which I enter, but don't see any need to say so every time. The V&V posts are problematic here because people sometimes make them amazingly early and then potentially imagine that they have visited everyone who will enter; they also probably stop people from visiting the thread again when they see that there is a new post, assuming that it is just one of those, when in fact it might be an interesting comment or a query &c. |
