[nod]<br /><br />On the trolling thing, they seem to have a good handle on that. Accounts are free but you do have to have an account to see any of the stories, much less post a critique. A new member's first critique has to be vetted by a staffer before it's released, so you can't just sign up, post a slam to someone or a bunch of someones, and then run away giggling. And so far I haven't seen anyone mention getting a nasty critique, so there don't seem to be many people who are willing to sign up and play the game long enough to be able to post a critique directly to a writer, just to be nasty about it.<br /><br />If I do run into anything like that, I'll let you know, though. It wouldn't take <i>that</i> much effort -- just one serious critique to get past the vetting stage. The question is whether any trolls care enough to do that, or whether they'd just go have their fun somewhere else where they can get more immediate gratification. We'll see.<br /><br />AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-72450528593636946542009-07-26T09:23:59.950-07:002009-07-26T09:23:59.950-07:00that private queu sounds like something that can c...that private queu sounds like something that can combine the best of online and in person critiquing. With more open online critiquing you run the risk of trolls.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
