Forum Guest Editors

Hash

I wasn't exactly expecting to be able to give up the day job, but did everyone else just assume this would be completely unpaid? I've just had an e-mail congratulating me on being the first guest editor and wanting copy by Monday, but no mention of so much as a freebie watch in return.

Motivation isn't too high, all in all! Am I being a grumpy, unreasonable bat?

Mmm Sine - unfortunately they did make use of the word 'volunteer'. They also state "all you need is a shrewd eye (to pick out the best threads from the forum), the ability to deliver your copy on time and oodles of enthusiasm for the task in hand." Sounds like you're lacking on the enthusiasm front already lol.

Wouldn't hurt them to throw in a few freebies as a gesture though I guess. There's no harm in asking for something, they can only say no.

The RW watches were sh1te anyway - you wuoldnt want one!

M..o.use

Sinewaif, you're ungrateful.

;o)

Ultra Kanga Kazzaaaaah

Never volunteer!! ;oP

Nick L

...and in response to your question Sine...unpaid? Yes I expected that.

I would have thought the honour would be sufficient recompense?

My cynical mind wonders whether over the summer period, a lot at RW towers might be on leave thus leaving it somewhat short-staffed?

[Deleted User]

Wow - that is cycnical NickL, rofl.

[Deleted User]

Yes you are, Sinewaif,

Daz - Cynacism is just an unpopular way of telling the truth.


Not my quote...but I like it.

Just 6 KK - they had reduced multi-packs at my local offie!

I quite like the RW watch... )

But yeah - wow - cynical you, Nick!! Haha!

[Deleted User]

last time I saw you with a cream egg it was a messy affair... ;-)

[Deleted User]

Guest Editor sounds like fun to me - paid or unpaid.

But yes, I'd expect some freebies to keep me sweet.

Nick L

KK would you want your own body weight in Creme Eggs???

Hey perhaps they will send the guest people something AFTER they deliver the goods!! Who knows?

IMHO expecting something before is perhaps a tad cheeky! I mean you generally don't get the race t-shirt/mug/medal etc before the race do you!

*looks at Kitten, raises eyebrow*

XFR Bear

is that body weight before or after consuming the creme eggs? ;-)

[Deleted User]

I agree sine actually. A watch or a years subs or something would have been nice.

I too am a cynic and would agree that it is perhaps because they are all on holiday!

[Deleted User]

Oh I could break them all open and go bog snorkling in them.

Hey, nakiiid, why not.........


*totally lost in egg fantasy*

Oh, sorry, as you were.


Hey hey thats my area!

Guest editor?

Give me a big cigar and the lines"hold the front page" and i'm in!

[Deleted User]

I double dare you both!!

[Deleted User]

Will we get to see pictures? (Not of you TT - before someones says owt).

[Deleted User]

LOL Daz would't want to put you off your breakfast!

while you're have your creme egg fantast KK, I'll be having my peanut butter one!!!

I think the key word is "volunteer".

[Deleted User]

Indeed DM, if I were in RW towers I'd be writing a note: 'Make sure NOT to send Sinewaif any freebees' after seeing this thread.

Coops10

I think the key words are "fancy volunteering you crazy fool".

[Deleted User]

Id assume unpaid too
when I helped out with the big forum index, I got a very nice thank you mail

which was enough
No one forced me to do it

They send me a tenner for every complaint I generate. Apparently, when I'm controversial it increases forum activity that directly increases RW's revenue from advertising.

I'm on a nice little earner.

You are all a bunch of inadequate whining feckwits. KERCHING!
