Building a relationship with reviewers

It's no trouble at all. I have three options when reviewing: accept, reject silently, reject and notify. I hardly ever reject silently. That's for special situations. I sometimes write a little note during rejection, but many times the problem can't be summed up in just a few words, so I leave the comment area blank. But, my rejection emails do give the recipient a link to the specific thread where they can post inquiries. On the board, I respond pleasantly and honestly and so does the submitter. We can all get nasty behind closed doors. Hence, no replies to emails.

I have no qualms with lists that choose not let you know if you have been listed, but I know that it's a big pain in the ass to go searching to see if your sites are listed. I can't say much about other site's policies without stepping on anyone's fat little piggies, so I'll shut up about that.
