>>>>>>Usually, but sometimes it comes down to a judgment call, so the "explanation" might just be that it seems OK to me.
I was hoping for an Always. That in the case of judgement calls there would be a:
"Seems OK to me, cause I *believe* they did ...whatnot..." or
"Seems OK to me, cause *I personally* don't "hear" that in their tone...." or
"Seems OK to me, cause it could be argued that "ignored" just stood for "unheard"..."
Something along those lines. I assumed you'd just always be confident in the fairness of your personal opinions, and that it wouldn't really be a problem putting some of them into words (it wouldn't have to be much - a sentence or so). It probably wouldn't even take as long to type out as the PBCs or Blocks would've.Do you think that that could be the practice -- to include not only explanations for the clear-cut rejections, but also ones (I'd like to say "especially") for the de facto rejections? Cause those are the ones that usually cause the most rifts on the board, and most confussion. Those are the ones that (most likely) individuals will be submitting through the "Notify" button -- the clear cut ones will most likely be caught by a deputy already.
Explanations are usually all that people want -- all I ever want -- see a small checks and balance system.
>>>>>>>>Remember, it's fine to ask general questions on the board, and general answers may be more useful information.
Yes, but a General question will only appear so if more than a small amount of people could possibly be connected to the subject matter. But if you say it's alright as long as it's phrased in generalities, then I'll take your word :) (if that's what you're saying)
>>>>>and general answers may be more useful information
Except in the cases of something unique or particularily confusing, I totally agree!
Did you know that that's why it can feel so frustrating the times when you respond with only another question, instead of a general answer?>>>>>>>If it's been more than a couple days, please feel free just to ask again.
Cool.
Thanks, El
