*grumble* What's up with the Teaspoon tonight?

[wendymr]

So in between watching CNN I'm refreshing the Teaspoon over and over for new fic, particularly the third chapter of a story I've been following and which I KNOW was submitted by the author 2-3 hours ago... and it looks like no new fic/chapters have been approved for at least two hours.

I know everything's moderated now and mods are humans who have

Comments

Why is everything moderated now? That's a nightmarish job, and it's going to slow the site down severely - even if they have a dozen people reading.

(Does this mean the end of summaries that beg/demand reviews, though? Hey, look, a possible upside...)

[dark_aegis]

It's moderated now because of bad summaries - the epic summary, the summaries that say this fic came to them in the bath while talking to their rubber duckie, and the summaries saying review me please or else I will leave fandom, woes. I'm sure there are other reasons too, but that's the main one.

Yes, they've completely stolen away my Summary Executions. Now I'll have to go to the Pit of Voles if I want to find something to mock!

[dark_aegis]

It is rather sad that summary executions can no longer happen on the spoon. But there's always FF.net. Just for the hell of it the other day, I posted Last Defence over there. So many of the comments said they were pleased to find a story that actually made sense and wasn't complete rubbish over there. It rather frightened me. Not to mention reminded me why I've virtually abandoned FF.net.

Though there's always LJ...even though there aren't as many bad summaries here. Unless you're raised by wolves and were abused as a child...
