Not what I was saying, Meagan Anne. I was saying it might reduce some of the apparent rancor if the already very valuable thread describing how the judging is done were made more visible, with a link, for example, on the page where the competition is announced.
I absolutely agree that judging is hard, and the judges are not given enough credit – or the benefit of the doubt. I'm not trying to create a problem but to help ameliorate one.
I know James. I just get a bit miffed at some writers who just can't accept they're not as good as they think they are and it's all the fault of the moderators, judges, a cadre of other writers, whoever, and whatever. Nicola and her team are awesome people who are volunteers and spend who knows how many hours keeping this site up and thriving.
I agree though with adding the link to the competition story page. Makes a lot of sense.
