Ok maybe the top 28 should hold back then
It was just a not-very-thought-out-idea....but y'all get the gist. |

If we do all declare a moratorium on adding new reviews, perhaps we should also hold back on promoting the site to others.
This would be the last thing I would suggest doing only because that's part of what keeps the site alive.
The seasoned Fwffirs should be able to hold back but I think anyone starting out should be left as is.
All suggestions: no slight intended on you Chris, or dictation to you Benj and the MERPS
No offence taken.
The "put a hold on promoting the site" suggestion was merely put in as a way of giving Benj a breather. |

Maybe I'm reading Benj wrong (just ask my wife how bad my cognitive hearing skills are) - but I don't think his point is that there are too many reviews to approve but rather that there is too much bitching about there being too many reviews.
As tempting as it is to post when will my backlog ever go down, its better to just keep putting stuff into your backlog because every once in a while there is a flurry of approvals.
I go through fits of much review entering and fits of writers block, so I just put reviews in when they come to me and hope that it coincides with the unexpected and uninfluenceable flurries of approvals.
So, let just go about our business and not complain about the perceived level of effort for a dedicated group of people (Benj at the top of that list) who are doing this out of their own free time. |

I think we were just trying to help not complaining. And as Benj said himself he has had to take a breather for a day or two.
But I can see where you are coming from Turrell, I do remember giving similar advice to Face not so long ago, the first time he complained about the fwfr process and I'm sure many before me have done the same...
...right i've lost the thread of my tangent, Rats!!
I'll just leave it there. |
