Mod Post

[swsmod.livejournal.com]

I've seen too much of this lately. The Meta, ooc posts that deal with directing things to a specific mun, or attacking people and their play in fandoms. Please avoid making these posts which I find unneeded. This community is wank free that means no attacking of people for the fandoms they play, how they play their characters, or attacking or directing things at certain muns.

I will delete posts like that. Read the rules, no wank is no wank. No attacking of players means NO attacking of players veiled or not.

Here are things you can do:

If you can't help it and have issues with someone and want to rant? Keep it out of the community and take it to bad_rpers_suck it's what the comm is for.

Also if you are on the opposite end of that and want to praise? Again keep it out of this community and take it to fangirlingthing

OOC

I figure this is as good a time as any.

Can we get a mod definition on what precisely constitutes wank? Just so everyone is on the same page and that way, if personal definitions agree, we have a mod definition to refer to?

Most recently people with posts like:

you people pee on my fandoms.

That is an attack on players and how they play characters that the person does not like.

Posts signaling out certain muns or directed at putting down certain muns. The rules are simple, no attacking of other players. You don't like their pups fine keep it to yourself. There is no need to call people out in the comm, I see no reason for it.

Not everyone is going to like how a pup is played, and not all muns get along. It doesn't need dragged out into the comm for everyone else to see.

What about general posts about a particular trend? Not mean-spirited, just commenting (and sometimes expressing slight annoyance or other such things) on it? After all, things come in waves here, and there do tend to be meta/OOC comments about them.

Or, say, a general reminder to muns to keep the canons their OCs are supposed to go into in mind? Not a particular fandom, just in general? Would that be considered wank or..?

Score one for me.

To be fair, I think you're right and I have since gone to BRPS to vent my issues. So, I'm sorry about that and it won't happen again.

Thank you. <3

We could always have a link to bad_rpers_suck, and direct all OOC RP issues there. That is, frankly, what the community is for. Along with plenty of people to inform you if you have a good reason to complain, or you are just wanking around.

I find it refreshing. Sometimes you just need people to slap your hand for you. (In regard to wank.)

[swsmod.livejournal.com]

I will have to do that. I just don't want it here lol

[star-core.livejournal.com]

There's also good_rpers_rock.

[rgoren-nypd.livejournal.com]

Even if the meta post is considered IC for that particular character? I know there are a few muses here who just simple hate everyone.

[silenziosa-odio.livejournal.com]

We don't hate everyone. <.<...just 99.9% of the whole world. *mun is teasing.*

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

Thanks for this since I, for one, get a little irritated when people (who aren't the mod) police my RP (http://community.livejournal.com/sixwordstories/6443694.html?thread=170337710).

[swsmod.livejournal.com]

I apologize you went through that. I am hoping this all blows over and people use the comms I have linked on the user lookup.

While things of an OOC nature are being discussed, I thought I might ask a question (even though it doesn't pertain to the subject at hand).

In a lot of posts I'll see actions. In others, I'll see IC references to 'posts' and 'icons'.

Is there a standard or a default for which the interaction normally is, or is it just something you glean as you go? I usually delineate text posts from in-person posts via font and icons, but I just wanted to make sure that I'm not 'doing it wrong' since I am a relative n00b here. :)

from my observations:

it depends entirely on the player.
some assume that this is an internet message board their characters access via livejournal.
others assume it's an actual physical place that they're standing and talking to each other in.
and usually you can't tell until someone does an action or makes a reference to 'icons' or being on the internets. so there's really no way to do it wrong!

Wow. Totally didn't mean to cause a calamity then disappear off to work. Everything noted. Consider me properly chastised. Won't happen again.

[anson-greene.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. Personally, I don't think it's anyone's place to appoint themselves the Canon Police, and the only person who should be making posts about what is and is not acceptable here is you. We're here to have a good time, and I'm a big proponent of 'if you don't like it, don't read it.' The catty posts have been bugging me for a while and I agree, there's no place for them here. Thanks a lot for putting a stop to it.

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You took the words right out of my mouth.

[deathangeljohn.livejournal.com]

THIS. Absolutely. I agree. This comment says everything I wanted to say. Thanks! :)
