By now, you have had the chance to read the updates of both NCommander and Barrabas. Nonetheless, you may still be wondering quite a few things about the site and its staff. Here is your chance to ask us anything. These questions can be general in nature, in which case the staff will select a spokesperson to answer it, or it may be specific to an individual. If the question is for an individual, please ensure you identify that person specifically enough.

We will select the best questions from the thread and provide answers to the community. These questions may not be the highest rated, although we will probably use those first.

In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

    Sounds interesting to me, but probably we had too many stories go live in the last 9 hours (sarcasm, aka zero).

    You are wrong. I have made this submission and you didn't publish it: http://dev.soylentnews.org/comments.pl?sid=150&cid=264 1 [dev.soylentnews.org]

    Looking forward to hearing from you,

    Calm down. No reason to get upset if your submission didn't make it up yet. Getting frustrated or angry will not help. Remember the staff is fully unpaid volunteers.

      Heh, ALL my stories get Rejected at Slashdot, only to be followed by a less well written one on the same subject, often with the same links, submitted later, by one of their pet submitters.
      I just stopped trying.

      So Rejection seems the norm, but Rejection without a reason seems less than user friendly and less instructive for the future.

      I think some general checkboxes could be attached to the rejection listing one or more things that were reasons for the rejection.

      Who's upset, frustrated, and angry? Not me. I can't imagine that my original post sounded that way, and I don't think any of the follow-ups did either (a single, mildly snarky comment aside).

      Sure, they're all unpaid volunteers. Sure, the site is new. I'm just asking, as a general point of interest, if we can get feedback when a submission is rejected, so that we know why and what to do next time. This seems like a reasonable question to me.
