Question about Story Comments

[Ldy_Sea]

I'd say it rather depends on the bickering. I can only tell you what I do. If the bickering is about the story I leave it. If one poster is deliberately is deliberately trying to start a flame war on my comments page then I write to them (if that's possible) and ask them to stop.

I've only had to do this once I got a hail of abuse and another inflamatory comment. I wrote to her again saying that if she continued I would delete all her comments and any comment which referred to them. Another hail of abuse, another inflamatory comment. Ten minutes after her comment all traces of her were gone from my comments page. Problem solved.

It's sad that you should have this on your first story.

SOme authors have said that after deleteing comments they get one bombed lowering their story scores.

Personally I look at comments a few times a year, and scores I could care less about. Other writeers are so anal they know the score of every story and post if it drops a few tenths of a point and try to guess who left which anon comment.

I write for myself so I don't care what others say. Most of my stories have spelling errors and other issues. If I was getting paid I would have an editor review them. Buit since this is a free site, deal with it.

Not to be anal, but just out of curiosity why are you so picky about grammar in your PMs but don't care if you submit
sloppy work?

Buwahahaha!!!

Oh yeah, pilot...I am soooo jealous of you. Just like every other author on the site is.

Oh, no, you don't have a hard on for me. Not at all.

Grammer, capitalization and punctuation I care about. Typos I don't. Nithing in my sig says anything about spelling.
