Lost Wank
The Lost_TV comm has a tendency to be flooded with "OMG CHARLIE WAS SO HOT!!!!11!!!" posts after an episode airs, ignoring the "Day Of" post that is made for such insightful comments. There's also a problem with people on the East Coast making spoilerific posts after seeing an episode and spoiling it for people on the West Coast.

So a new policy is made: Wednesday night posts will be moderated, and meaningless posts or spoiler posts that aren't clearly marked and cut will not be allowed through. A couple of new moderators are added to help handle this.

One of the old mods quits, apparently in protest. She hints about making a new community. Another of the mods says the comm has become nazi-esque and then posts a quitting message. Peiyu labels this as silly and nazis are again invoked.

I just love it when disagreements about managing a community are tossed up for everyone to see.

LOL! It is really funny. But since you don't know the backstory, no one can expect you to understand what's going on.

Thanks for posting this! :D

I may not know the backstory, but I know that since you invoked nazis to complain about people moderating posts, you lost the argument truly spectacularly...

I don't remember the Nazi party being anti-spoilers. But maybe that's the good old American education system again.

Your point was well-made. Mods need to keep their shit out of the community as a whole. To bring it in is wanky and immature, no matter how badly you may or may not have been insulted.

Yeah, because the owner asked a few more people to help out because she was running mad with all the pointless and spoilery posts that weren't behind a cut and asked a few more people to moderate the comm, some of the old mods feel they have to whine like toddlers denied candy and leave.

Actually, the two moderators left because the two new moderators personally insulted them. They were rude, obnoxious, and ignorant about the whole matter.

It really had nothing to do with the moderated posting.

Good job. ;)

sad that the fandom's such a hotbed for it. show is actually pretty good, the influx of Dom fans and then the insane shippers are what's bringing it down though.

luckily, slashers are much ignored ^^ so we're generally good

Why ruin any chances you had of making a good arguement by invoking the Nazis? Did I miss the memo stating that in order to make your point valid, you must use a Nazi reference? Maybe someone could fax me a copy of said memo?

If you live on the West Coast, know spoilers are possible, and can't possibly stand it to be spoiled, then don't go to the com! It's simple really.

Also, if you live there, being told what happened is a given. Presidential elections have been spoiled in this time honored manner for years now.

The great irony is that most of the crap on TV is made there, but the East Coast gets it first. Hee.

Ironically, a community that has as basically part of its mission statement "OMGCHARLIEIZSOHOTT" has had no major issues with cutting for spoilers.

We have good mods. And romance novel cover manips.

Sure, there's squeeing. But on the whole? Not a big problem.
