exasperated rant... sorry | eyes's Blog

OK, so I'm doing a favor for a friend of mine. Their forum is clogged with poorly written stories that are outside of the limits they set. They got behind in moderating them, and need someone who reads fast and with a good eye to get rid of the stuff that is inappropriate. I'm happy to help.

I also want to bash my brains out with a rock. These people cannot friggin write, but everyone keeps sending comments telling them how wonderful they are and encouraging them to write more crap.

Most of it isn't against the set guidelines, so I can't recommend for it to be thrown out, but dear god, use spell check, have a buddy read the story to make sure it is coherent, don't use the same names 15 other people already used to post stories.

The good news is i've gotten through about 40 of them and only had to recommend 2 to go. The bad news is that there are over 800 of them (I'm no good at math, so I could be wrong, but not too far off) and more and more every day.

Don't we have any friggin standards anymore?!?

i feel a bit better. back to reading more crap.
