I know money's a bit tight, but for the next site redesign may i recommend the following? An insertion of an extra category of forum posts, that of "Whinings". You would need to have a tick box function like we do for labelling the genre of our stories. May I recommend the following: 1) Bad reviews 2) Lazy reviews 3) Low Scores 4) Hiatus between reviews 5) Conspiracy/cabal theories (perhaps you could offer a template for a flow chart diagram for this one?) 6) Other The thread title would just contain the name of the person being bad mouthed, except in the case of tick box number 4, where the title should just be "I Hate You All You Lazy Mother*******" In the body, no text, nothing else. Maybe some preset emoticons of the darker emotional kind. Then at least whinges wouldn't clutter up the other more meaningful threads. As an added feature, you could track the posters to this thread stream and and every month produce the Top Ten Whinger Chart and circulate to the professionals who do trawl the site, as evidence of the chartees' ability to get on with people and present themselves as reasonable people to transact professional business relationships with.
"A,B&E", "Not In My Name" and "52FF" (flash fiction anthology) all available on Amazon Kindle"How a psychopath makes sweet love. I can get you ringside. Royal box even."

If this serves to highlight the lazy, useless reviewers, or serial hibernators I think it would be an excellent idea.

It would also mean everyone could click straight on the most entertaining thread without having to trawl other threads for fights.
Not that I do that myself, of course.

We could call it "did you spill my pint?" Extra prizes for uses of the words "rude", "delusion" or "honesty".

Drop my suggestion to have no text. People still want to read their Bread & Circuses entertainment, I get that

stas (who had to enter something in the text) yes I've conceded that point Papa. People ought to be free to express their bleat in full
