Weaknesses: It can take a long time to get your work critiqued. It goes into a queue and all is posted on one day of the week (Wednesdays?) Often, the next week's queues will be full and you have to either pay extra points to have yours bumped to the upcoming queue (which then bumps someone else out of it, if it's full) or wait for the next week, or the next, or the next. Then it's up for a full week for critiques. So, it can move slowly. Also, over time I reported a couple of people for very nasty comments or replies and they would not get involved. I do not believe in allowing nasty behavior, I believe the job of management is to address it. Quality goes way down when people can anonymously behave however they please with no consequences. Overall, I think it is a good site. I have gotten some great crits there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
