My claim to fame:
No fame, really.
After reading some of the downright rude forums, all the half-baked projects where I feel authors aren't really trying at all to improve and incorporate feedback, and the fact that I really feel most people have no idea what it means to be a critiquing community, I've decided to cut out the majority of my activity on this site that used to be in such areas.
The idea of having this open to all the public with very few checks and balances is theoretically nice until one realizes most people have neither the discipline nor the capability for responsibility to handle it constructively.
Someone drop me a note if everyone magically matures. Until then I will only work with what I consider projects with the most potential and my newest group, "I Solemnly Swear To Improve WEbook." Please join it if:
1. You think the WEbook community (not the site, but the community) needs improvement. So if you can't think of anything wrong with WEbook, I suggest you reflect on the community a bit more before asking to join.
2. You will regularly, thoughtfully, and happily discuss problems and/or solutions to issues in the WEbook community.
3. You will take into consideration the guidelines we come up with. They're not rules. They're guidelines. But they're there because nearly everyone in the group identified a problem and came up with that solution. Try to take some of it to heart.
4. You won't hate me if I make a mistake with your request. As dozens of people ask to join, and 90% of those dozen people do not message me or do not answer the question at all when they message me back, I sometimes mess up dealing with the invitations. If you haven't heard from me in a few days/ I didn't accept your request and you think I should have, drop me a message, please! I don't bite.
I really hope this group influences people for the better. You can help.
Thank you!
P.S. Please do not friend me unless we've had some significant amount of history in messaging, reviewing, et cetera. If I don't know you, then I'm going to be slightly weirded out by your friend request.
