haha cute! Hey did you see? The 4th chapter for Dekiru Otoko is out :D Can you post it on yaoi daily (bc I cant get to it on forever more :/ ) please? *puppy eyes*
ZOMGWTF REALLY?!? I've been checking back every freaking day for the past to weeks and I've just checked again a couple of hours ago! Thanks for pointing it out! Will try to grab it ASAP! But it's late here x.x. So we'll see! But thanks!
Actually, I wasn't the one who deleted it. It was the other mod. I'm usually not the one who deletes and bans happily. I'm the one who reasons and discusses ^^;.
I really wish you wouldn't leave the community though. I realize why this would be upsetting to you, but I thought you handled this very well. Other people who've been caught in a barrage like that have really broken down and shown they couldn't handle it. You on the other hand seemed just fine which is why I'm surprised you're saying you're overly sensitive.
Anyway, I wish you'd give it another shot, but I can see why you don't want that. I'm sorry this happened. Newbies often get a poor start when stuff like this happens. Having a thick skin really is essential for surviving here...
Because you 1) are discussing comm rules publicly which mods never like and 2) are trying to bend the rules. Just because you suddenly turn all serious and polite doesn't mean we forgot the jackassery before.
if this turns into a habit the mods might just decide this is getting out of hand and make it one and you obviously don't want that.
If there isn't a rule against it, why are we being punished for doing it? And you say if we do it there's going to be a rule against it. I don't get it, you seem lenient on the subject, but you are effectively ruling it out. What's the deal?
Listen. We have trouble with trolls in that comm a hell of a lot, as I'm sure you're very aware. That's why some of us mods have the itchy itchy delete trigger finger.
The comm was not created to be a LOLZ DRAMA sort of place. It's just for stupid links. I don't know how or why people got the idea that it was for something else, but it's not, and, when we catch it, we're going to do something about nasty behavior.
The comm is also not a democracy. There's not a need to discuss the rules with your fellow community members, because they're not going to change.
Dude, just sit back, find some amazing new YTMND to post, and let it go, will you?
Because silly us, we assume that you guys are going to have some common sense as to what is and isn't all right. Like I said above, the comm isn't for drama. It's not for "lulz". We're /not/ lenient on the subject at all. It just keeps coming up, over and over again.
Look, if you want to enjoy the comm, then enjoy it for what it is. If you want a place to make fun of people, I know there's a few dozen other communities for that.
I'm not the only mod and other mods have other opinions. Personally I'm not a fan of too many rules and believe in letting the list rule itself. But I dislike people leaving because they get mocked and harassed excessively. I dislike this list being a herding place for assholes and wankers and not a quirky fun place where we share wtf-ness. I'm desperately trying to preserve that, but with every wank we get the noose tightens. If this blows over quickly there's a good chance there won't be a rule. If it goes on and on there's a good chance there will be. Then there will be modding, there will be deleting, complaints about deleting, deleting of complaints, accusation of mods being Nazis, people leaving, new comms opened etc. Been there, done that. No one's being punished yet, I'm just trying to quiet this down. Is this bad? Please understand.
This is the received way according to the handbook of .... can't think of anything witty now. You contact one of the mods offlist. Best not in the middle of the night when the mods are tired and irritated after having dealt with jackassry all day. You lay down your point well and wait for a reply. You discuss some, then you agree that this subject should be discussed with the other members and the mod makes a post, inviting discussion. The end.
If you /do/ honestly have some kind of problem, contact me. If you get banned and you genuinely do feel it was unfair, contact me. There's a banning I'm actually about to go look into more closesly because I didn't agree with it.
You can even be an asshole if you want. Just don't be a troll. A'ight?
That's an idea. If you want to create the comm, go for it. If you want to link to it in wtf_inc, uhhh... scrounge up something wtf and post it along with that. But yeah. If you want to, go right ahead.

Date: 2006-01-23 02:43 am (UTC)Also, I don't get angry very easily, but I do get emotionally distressed which isn't very good for my health. I don't bode well with stress.
I do have a way of overreacting, so I think that leaving is for the best, as I don't want something like that to happen again.
As a long time browser, I knew that people in the comm could really chew you up, but I didnt think my own posts would be look at like that.
thanks again

"just because..." etc. = I was serious and polite the entire time. it is possible to be a jackass and polite at the same time.
