I've seen a number of tweets where the author is querying (typically using the #amquerying hashtag) and they list out their rejections. Some will keep a running tally.
I understand the need for community support, but my thinking is this will hurt the querier. If an agent is on the fence about a manuscript, checks the writer's social media, and sees a long list of rejections, they might second guess themselves. Plus, who wants to be a writer's twentieth or thirtieth choice?
Thoughts?
