First class kink wank, mod vs. comm edition
Pointed at this little gem by a friend who peruses kink comms a lot more than I do.

1stclass_kink is a very popular kink meme based on some high school superhero drama or other that is ripe for the kinking. All is well, good, and kinky, and then the mod makes a rule clarification post.

The post is clear and professional, no underage sex prompts in the comm. Well, clear give or take not defining "underage," and professional give or take, well:

That said, everyone else did not make the rules for this kink meme - I did. They worked for other fandoms, I believed they would work for this one, too. I still believe that. But there is one rule that a lot of people participating in this kink meme do not like, and that is the restriction on posting prompts and fills with underage characters in sexual situations.

If you are uncomfortable with this rule and feel you that you can't observe it, why did you choose to participate in this kink meme? By choosing to take part in it, you chose to observe its rules. These rules are not going to be changed because you do not like them. These rules are not going to be changed because you believe you have superior reasoning and judgement to the person who made them. These rules are not going to be changed because of how highly thought of you are in a different fandom.

Gee, you'd think people had screaming hissyfits about how this is fine in other commas and it should be fine here, and that the comm is for the users, not the tyrannical despot mod. Well, if they didn't before, they certainly did now!

The first comment is a pretty straightforward question: "This means none of the students, right?" The problem is simple, "underage" is never defined, either in the clarification post or in the original rules post. As many people point out, different countries define "underage" in different ways. However, with no more explanation or clarification forthcoming, confusion and argument run rampant as Wolverine's back hair.

Other points of issue come up, though their roots are uncertain. According to one notable post, the mod has "brushed off other suggestions regarding trigger warnings", i.e. has none. The mod also argues from the LJ ToS and US Law, inaccurately. Then she falls in the comm member entitlement tiger trap:

You say "I did not expect or hope that this would be a successful community, it has been because of everyone else" as if this relieves you of responsibility for the fact that the predominant kink meme of a rapidly growing and likely to become quite large fandom has ended up in your lap. It doesn't. If you don't feel that you can properly manage it in an informed and mature fashion, I strongly suggest you hand the reins over to someone else now. Telling people they are welcome to the other kink meme/encouraging them to go there is just asking for a schism that a baby fandom like this doesn't need.

Yes, it is absolutely your fault that the comm has become popular and you must therefore bend your comm to the will of the masses! This argument comes up several times (for example) throughout the comments. There's also a lot of very huffy flouncing to the xmen_firstkink comm that the mod quite reasonably recommends in the OP as an alternative where underage is allowed (provided, of course, you can figure out the definition of "underage").

The mice also wank themselves into a furor, coming down on both sides of the issue.

Other gems include, "This is just another case of 'Your Kink Is Not OK!'" and its drinking buddy "You're powertripping hard!". Variations of all of the above arguments are repeated throughout the three pages (and growing) of comments, in between the occasional teal deer stampede.

Where's the mod in all this? She never responds to that post, but explains some of her logic in another post, basically "Don't wanna be TOSed and I trust you people to tag your own triggers so I don't have to."

TL;DR Kink meme mod makes unnecessarily snippy and nonspecific rule post, comm goes collectively apeshit and says stupid things, but at least they're keeping the argument out of the pr0ns (or at least the prompt post).
