Entry tags:community: fandom secrets, dolls, great mod or greatest mod?, look how much i don't care, mod wank

That mod is a monster! M-M-M-Monster!
There is a little fandom for a line of dolls called Monster High. Tanz_fanatika is a moderator and owner of a popular Monster High com known as monster_high. All seem well, yes?

It is, until a secret appears on Fandom Secret (It's secret number 6). Apparently, someone isn't happy with the way Tanz runs the com. Someone named Nekusagi comments, claiming to be the ban-ee in the secret. It isn't long until an anon informs her that no, this is a different wank. A different person has been banned for saying things in an f-locked post, revealing this isn't the first time Tanz has pulled this kind of thing. The anon drops some interesting links from Tanz's doll blog. She's been openly talking shit on whoever it is that she has banned.

Tanz eventually shows up at Fandom Secret, as well as some of her friends. She insists that if someone has a problem with her they should tell her to her face:

"Then people you care about should have handled the issues with me directly. I gave the opportunity for communication."

"People who deal with problems directly are more respected than those who don't. There's at least a chance then that things can work out. But if you don't even try to communicate, then there's no chance."

However, when some DOES reveal themselves and questions her moderation to her face, she bans them. But it's totally because they call her out in the wrong place:

"Now, now, you know better than that. Challenging me here was not the right venue. If you genuinely had a problem and contacted me privately, this could have worked out fine. But you guys chose to gang up on me in public after ganging up on me in private. There's no saving that.

Go play in your own comm. I'm sure you'll have fun there.
"

And that's not even close to the wanking Tanz and co. is doing in that Fandomsecrets thread.

ETA: Thanks to mice at [info]wank_report for bringing this to my attention.

ETA 2: SF_Drama has reported on the wank too! Complete with more details, more wank and an awesome write up.

This Tanz chick is just the poster child for Look How Much I Don't Care, isn't she?

And she is apparently somewhere in her thirties. Dear Lord.

Ah, but she never said she wouldn't ban those who did say it to her face.

Really should include a link to the SF_Drama post, because there's even more there: http://sf-drama.livejournal.com/3228805.html Also, the SF_Drama write-up is pretty awesome.

I was an anon, and also friends with some of the people banned, so I dunno if I should be saying much, but. :/

Oh, speaking of Disney Faeries and Tanz, I'd heard a few months ago that she banned any kind of femme-slash from the MH comm, despite the fact that AFAIK only 3 of the characters/dolls are boys, so you're going to have a high number of girl-girl pairings.

I'm not a member of MH, have never been in the fandom, and it's been flocked for ages, so I don't know how factual it is, but the comments at the SFDrama post about her being controlling about canon and the Disney Faeries thing make this sound very plausible.

Personally, my favorite part of all this is how Crazy!Mod equates her modship of a fandom comm to being someone's boss at work IRL.

Maybe if she actually paid these people she'd have a bit more call to expect everyone to act like minions. Maybe.

Is it a jurisimprudence law yet that the likelihood of a mention of blackjackrocket varies proportionally with an increase in wankiness? Because it should be: http://fandomsecrets.livejournal.com/682799.html?thread=436255023#t436255023.

After looking at sf_d, the only thing I can say is that Tanz should really be taking lessons from Heidi if she wants to Heidipatrol.

For starters, if you're a BNF, you should send your minions to do your dirty work.

Wow. I'd mentioned to a friend of mine that what Tanzy did ain't just stupid: it's stupid and a gross abuse of the abilities given to one as a moderator.

Although I suppose it could be me having recently replayed Dragon Age 2, but I suddenly pictured Tanzy as Meredith the Knight-Commander.

*hangs head in shame*

Man, reading [info]rhapsodyinpink's white knighting all over the SF_Drama post is hilarious.

My favorite bit:

[I]f I write about it [fandom annoyances], I do so in a place where nobody can see it (read: an actual physical journal), or I talk about it with people in real life who think fandom is a bunch of lulz.

How does she not get that what the other did was basically read someone's private, irl, paper journal? Hilarious cognitive dissonance itt.
