Hhmmm, this doesn't seem to be going that well...   |

Don't worry - that hadn't gone unnoticed. (Ditto for Randall/lemmy/Josh/Ali/redPen/RockGolf.) |

I thought I also observed the rules relatively well... didn't just post, but also viewed your post, as well as all others. Did I do something wrong?
Hope to learn the ways of the Fourum... |

LOL, I didn't mean that you shouldn't just say that you have viewed (but fail to have done so) - I meant that you shouldn't say that you have viewed unless it is inferred via a more interesting comment! I just hate "V&V"-type posts. They came from a period in the F.Y.C.T.H. (when I wasn't participating) when people for some reason concluded that some people were not bothering to visit others' pages. As well as wasting time (i.e. by making one think there is a new post worth reading in a thread), therefore, they equate to a lack of trust. It's a bit different here where there is no obligation to view pages other than mine, but I still don't like it. |

You certainly can post whatever you like in any thread. That is why I called it a condition, not a rule - a condition of my visiting your page. I may still visit everyone this time, but I'll be more explicit next time. |

Thanks. Was confused as I only have one for that, but I also have one for Before Stonewall, so I guess that was it. |

That's it. I was working from memory, and it was only the 'Stonewall' that registered. They are both good, however! |

Aaah,
I presumed there was an implicit obligation to visit everyone who joined in and therefore it was only good manners to let everyone else know that you have done so.
If we only visit yours, then the thread becomes an exercise in selfishness. For instance, if there are 10 participants, including me, then the only person visiting me would be you. That's a maximum of 100votes for my reviews. You however will have all 10 of us visiting you. Realistically that's a minimum of a 100 or so votes ( at only 10 votes per reviewer) and a maximum of 1000votes. It just becomes a thread to push Salopian up the Total/Average Votes Tables.
If there's no spreading the love between all participants, then this was the last "best" thread I'll be part of.

I love these particular posts, 'cuz it gives me a chance to view the other submitters, while knowing that they will also view whatever I have to offer. The FYC posts only give a glimpse into 5 particular posts from any one reviewer.... anyway, I agree with what Rovark had to say, but I would add this... most of the people who enjoyed this particular thread adhered to the standards by which it was set... we viewed everybody's posts, not making it about solely bumping a particular reviewer up the FWFR ladder. At least that's what I got from the experience... |

Your post isn't really in disagreement with mine. There is indeed the implicit assumption that everyone will visit everyone. It's just that I have never imposed that as a condition - it is up to the individual (although in practice I don't doubt that everyone will visit everyone). The fact that it is assumed, though, actually contradicts the need to say that one has done it. If people really want to write down a list of people's usernames, they can readily get around it as some have done by listing favourite reviews. I don't mind people doing that since it is actually interesting.
What do people think - shall I just add an everyone-has-to-visit-everyone condition next time? |
