Entry tags:fanart, fandom: watchmen, i swear i will turn this comm around, mod wank, not good with criticism, reading comprehension whut?, she's on a mission guys!, the davinci wank

I demand ANSWERS! And I refuse to tell you the question.
So, what's got the mod of owlblot so mightily butthurt? (Preemptive caps, since I'm sure this post won't last.) Who are these mysterious people she's demanding answers from? What is threatening the future of the community so badly that she has to suspend posting in every Watchmen community she moderates?

Does it have something to do with this person? Or perhaps a private grudge taken public? Apparently we're just supposed to know these things: And if you STILL do not "get it", then, dears, you just don't get it. Many other people have been able to understand why I am doing this; the number of people who (for what ever reason) are not able to grasp the meaning behind this post are less in number. Thus, I am left no other option than to assume that the fault does not lie with me and my post but that the problem lies within you and how you are trying to perceive it (or failing to perceive it, whichever one works).

Me, I'm just sitting back with a bowl full of popcorn and looking forward to the next installment in this drama.

ETA: The mod speaks: "I was told some people were not liking where the comm. where going. I didn't know who they were specifically so I had to make a big public post about it" And AFAIK all three comms still have posting suspended. Yeah, I don't even know.

Am I reading this right?
[info]seekay

So from what I can gather:

Thedarkestknight wasn't approving Alexwhitewell's art posts, apparently because of the art style. Alexwhitewell got frustrated and said some unfavourable things which led to a couple of tl;dr comments by Thedarkestknight about not being able to take criticism. Alexwhitewell apologised and Thedarkestknight forgave her.

Then she did a big crazy lockdown because people were criticising her community.

O_o?

This is reminding me of a wonderful wank some time back... the details are faded, and the wiki isn't helping (mostly because I forget all the names), but it had the same sort of "If you don't know what I'm talking about then I'm not talking about you," rhetoric.

But mostly I just remember it for the beautiful wanka thread that followed that mercilessly mocked the entire thing. "Because you aren't talking about me, but how do I know that I'm talking about you? Also, Xander."

Anyone got a link to that wank? I should have bookmarked it, that thread made me lol.

I was hoping -- after the initial listing of membership and watcher counts -- this wank would be about the numbers not being the same. Because that particular type of entitlement wank always makes me ROFL.

But then I realized it's just a mod doling out a tl;dr example of "cryptic" as they dump wank into their community and proceed to wag a finger at fuck knows who for fuck knows what indiscretion.

A+ mod skillz there.

My Watchmen-fan spouse is both intrigued and appalled by this. Seeing him try to process the idea of Rorschach/anyone is far more entertaining than I'd expected!

Okay. After reading through all of that and then some...

I'm guessing someone bitched about the community's questionable "high standards" in their own journal making thedarkestknight cry out "HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB?!" and proceed to be loudly butthurt. Like you do.
