Question for Quillers...

[author_by_night]

Is it just me, or have people been getting less reviews ever since they had to sign into the forums to get them?

Not that I don't understand why. To be honest, I think it was necessary. People were being harassed like crazy via reviews. :(

Of course, it could also be the time of year. I know I was just studying for finals, so finals week it was hard to really review. 

Still, if that is a part of it, it's too bad people don't at least sign up.

(You know, doesn't ff.n have a system where authors can choose whether or not they want anonymous reviews?)

Yeah, I think on ff.n you can sign without having to register/log in.

I really should get an account at the SugarQuill one of these days.

Yeah, you should.

SQ did used to let you just say your name, but it got to the point that anoynmous idiots were harassing people. I mean, to the point where NC-17 fics were being posted as reviews and an artist was insulted to the point where she left. So I'm actually glad they have a more protected system. And ff.n has the same problem, but the admins there can't be bothered to make people actually want to use their website. ;)

Not to mention the repeated (I assume bot) spam on some authors' review pages which meant they wound up with pages of reviews advertising poker, gambling, and pharmaceuticals ... (yep, happened to me, had to take the story down and repost it).
