*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

Yeah, the like/dislike thing's gone, which I'm glad about - it was ridiculous, because ONE 'dislike' vote took away the thumb, which meant that if someone felt like it they could actually go through a whole slew of fic - or an author's entire work - and vote dislike. I found out that just one vote did it when I accidentally selected dislike instead of like on a fic I really loved. :( Reported it on whofic, and one of the techie mods agreed that it seemed to be a glitch in the proprietary software, but it didn't seem to be something they could put right.

The Tens have gone - maybe that will also stop some of the review-whoring, though I do notice that some authors still beg for reviews in their authors' notes. I'm seriously considering never reviewing when someone does that... (I'm just stubborn/contrary: I really resent being told to do stuff. I'm also a terrible customer. If I'm at a fast-food place and get asked 'did you want a drink with that', I want to snap back at them 'If I did I'd have asked for it').

Oh yeah, and no more round robins. Yay!
