Can we get clarification on what is allowable in discussing forumbuildr submissions?I’m not too convinced about the random haters being responsible for most unexpected -5’s. I had a couple enemy ideas this week that I thought were brilliant (for the record, YES WICCAN and Blessed Beyotch) but got axed within the first day. So I tried slight variations on both later in the week and pretty much the same thing happened. I still don’t have a good theory on why I overestimated their chances so poorly, especially since the first still makes me laugh, but I don’t think random downvoting can be blamed. Another enemy submission that I made at the same time as the first two is doing great – and it was the one I thought was going to die quickly and quietly!
In general, I think a useful way to analyze why a submission succeeded or failed is to keep in mind that the vast majority of voters are only giving things at most a few seconds consideration before voting. Any joke that takes more than a few seconds to appreciate is doomed, which means your references need to be very accessible (and you need to know your audience pretty well, of course). I have to admit that I’ve downvoted a couple items that didn’t “click,” only to get them later and wish I could go back and change my vote.

I want to be your friend!Now, arbitrayer, I know it can be hard to believe sometimes, but there are women on the internet. Many of them have their own spaces on MySpace.com, and I’m sure they would be happy to talk to you there! Just remember, whenever you’re feeling discouraged, there is a good woman out there who can love even you, all you have to do is keep on looking! Log in to see images! (view post) |

Post yourself!Sometimes I feel like I should just abandon all my vast material possessions, give up on maintaining the hottest site on the Web 2.0, and just swim out into the ocean, never to return. This is one of those times. Barstool, you have touched me deeply, and I want to come, to be with you. You are truly inspiring. (view post) |

I want to be your friend!Now, now, ladies, let’s not be enemies. You should be friends. And on MySpace, you can be! Just add each other and you’ll be able to kiss and make up in no time. Here, let me show you the way with the blinding light of truth:

I know this may sound a little pretentious, but that is a halo over my head. So believe me when I say I can save you from yourselves. Pretty soon, you’ll be best buds, like me and my “pal” Chris De Wolfe!

Anyway. I’d really like to thank the both of you for using MySpace. It is my dream that through the power of the internet, we can all enjoy a future where everyone has all the friendship they need and hate and hardship just disappear. That’s my dream, anyway. I’ll leave you with these words of encouragement:

This -5 **** is exploitable.If votes were limited per week, any submissions coming after Monday morning would be pretty much dead on arrival; they’d never get enough up votes. Maybe a max # of votes per day? (view post) |

I want to be your friend!Why, don’t be upset, sweetie. I’ll still be your friend. In fact, your photo reminds me of that one time when I partied at a KISS concert:

I bet you’re a real cool gal. You seem kind of like Eluna, this woman I met while promoting MySpace at some big conference somewhere. This is from the reception after I gave a speech on connectivity technology:

I want to be your friend!Hi! I’m Tom and I’m here to help you. Send me a message if you’re confused by anything. Before asking me a question, please check the FAQ to see if your question has already been answered.
I may have been on your friend list when you signed up. If you don’t want me to be, click “Edit Friends” and remove me!
Also, feel free to tell me what features you want to see on MySpace and if I think it’s cool, we’ll do it!
I’d like to meet people who educate, inspire or entertain me… I have a few close friends I’ve known all my life. I’d like to make more.
Sincerely, Tom

Re-Re items?Re-Res should be able to buy underwear. Because they soil themselves so often. Of course, they’d probably just wear it on their head.
