+Ariberna Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hi people: Today that social media weren,t ok, grows ibne this curiosity: Why do reviewers (except Alfouine, Keith, Lumbricus and little else who sign their approved or denied with good reasons) deny you a WM it appears as denied as a category group (not by the reviewer) and when it is approved the name of the reviewer? for statistical interest? not to receive private? It is a curiosity that I have. Greetings. 1 Quote Link to comment
+FamilieFrohne Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'm not sure, since I do not lead a category, but it may be, that the denial message comes from a "call for vote" and thus more than one officer decided against the new waymark - which would be the category group then. I don't know if "calling for a vote" could be a standard setting of a category if the reviewing officer declines the waymark ... Just my guessing ... Quote Link to comment
+fi67 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 It has always been like this and I am not sure about the reasons for it, but I think the original idea was to protect the officers from harsh reactions. And there were some waymarkers in the past who took it very personal. On the other hand, I have always signed my denials and never had any especially unpleasant experiences. Quote Link to comment
+Alfouine Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 If you want to know who has declined your waymark you have to join the group and to be a member of the group, except when it's a vote result But if the enrollment is OFF you will never know I used to sign all my reviews and i had unpleasant experiences, but i do not care, my denials are always to ask to improve the submission except if that does not fit in the category but it's extremely rare. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the advice. I will try to sign to my future reviews (and also trying to give improvement answers when I have to deny a submission). Quote Link to comment

I'm pretty sure that the "fi guy" has it right. And, yes, I, too, sign my declines. I feel that if someone has an issue with my decline, or wants to know how to set it right and I haven't provided sufficient information, it's preferable that they contact me directly, rather than bother the category leader. (I'm officer in quite a few categories, but leader of only one or two.) Keith Quote Link to comment
