WOOHOO! Promo Wank!
I own a community -- I hesitate to say "moderate" (although that's gonna change) because I'll admit I haven't; both I and the other moderator have been busy and haven't paid much attention to this particular community. It started getting busy around the time when neither of us had the time (or energy) to devote to it, and it was just a promotion community so we decided to let it ride. Only recently did some changes in the community setup on LJ make it easier to maintain a community; it's just piled into so much work by then I kept putting it off. I've had a feeling that there's been wank either coming or lurking about there...

Today, the wank came to me. And it's got Harry Potter flavoring!

Shutterfly16 promotes a HP RPG for the fourth time this week. Promos should only be posted once a week when they're new -- and once a month thereafter.

Wolf Samurai has had enough of that nonsense, and tells her nicely to not post the same ad repeatedly.

And the fun begins as Tainted Smile (who's not even a member of the comm) comes in and tells Wolf Samurai what basically amounts to "If you don't like it, don't read it" (in other words, take the community off your friendlist.) A valid argument -- if the poster wasn't in violation of the rules.

J Chaos tells Tainted the same thing, still politely, and watch as Tainted Smile spazzes out!

Wolf Samurai and J Chaos both inform Tainted that s/he's getting reported to the moderator for trolling.

That's when the real fun begins.

My personal favorite? Wolf Samurai tells Tainted Smile "someone should remove your reproductive organs so you can't breed. But alas, we can't always have what we want."

Tainted Smile replies with the ever-witty "Wow. That was so insulting, that I think I'm going to go cry to the moderator of this community that her members no longer want me to breed."

::coughs:: ^_^ See, I'm also one of the co-mods for ChildFree.

Anyhow, enjoy it while it lasts. ^_^
