Spleen, start writing some stories. Let's see if after you do, you get a little more critical about what you read from others.
If I am going to rate a story, I usually like to tell the author why. I know you see a major difference between readers who score and who comment. Some see scoring as no more than a thumbs up or down. If I score a person low or mediocre, I want to tell them why. Was it for sloppy plot progression? poor editing (which i am very guilty) content? or myriad of other things. If it is for not liking the subject ALONE, I do not score the story even if I read it usually. I might comment though.
I'll have to go back and also reread the story to see how it was written. But yeah 2 years ago I rated stories a lot on content like most do.
I read certain categories daily. Well, to be honest, when I am available to read. Most categories I do not even look at titles. Loving wives, nonconsent, bdsm, fetish and even incest I peruse for authors I know or a story that might catch my interest. I venture into a few others when one of my beta readers who are also authors post there. Sometimes, I read what an author has posted here about his or her insight and I read several of their stories. I do not follow anybody. I have read a few of yours Millie when they fell into categories i follow. You'll have to ask Spleen, my toadie, to tell us which ones and if I commented, because I honestly cannot remember. I often have to begin to read a story to remember I read it. Many times I go ahead to read it and enjoy it again.
Hmm, okay. But what about 8 months ago? Was your "no lowballing based off content alone" rule in operation then?
Spleen, I love you are following my every word but to be honest even I can't remember everything I said in my past. Give some context. Show the story. Was the comment valid? You are beginning to be like one of the women on the 'View' taking each line out of context without a bit of explanation.
but you do, your devotion to following my actions and words speaks for itself.
The great writer-critic isn't even conversant with English.
Here, let me help.
Toadie (plu toadies): a person who flatters another in the hope of receiving favors.
The day I flatter anything about you is the day Hell's inhabitants shiver in their parkas while watching green pigs soar overhead.

You just can't stop humiliating yourself, can you?
You can keep quiet. Or keep lying and I'll keep exposing them.
It would seem that Captain Critique is so desperate to be held up as a standard that he'll twist anything into a compliment.
Ah ok thanks! I was looking at the story page directly. Good to know. Thanks
A part of me feels like you're just trying to insert yourself into this and stir something up with the mod. Still, I don't want to ascribe bad intent when it's not proven, so I'll reply to your post as if it's being made in good faith.
What is clear here is a private brawl between two individuals. There's no "issue" that I can see, except some kind of vendetta. You might want to take it off-line, before the thread unravels and gets shut down.
It's great to have knowledge, but you need to pick the right moment to share it in.
It's best practice for one to refrain from making such categorical statements on something they have no way of verifying is factual. They might end up being incorrect. Which you are in this case.
If a "vendetta" is showing someone's deception for what it is, then yes this is a vendetta.
The OP made this thread public. Ergo, all replies to it should be public. As for it being shut down, I do believe the mod is able to assess all replies independently of your opinion.
