Hey, y'all.

Just a few modly announcements.


Some of you may have noticed this by now, but we've been going around notifying people that we're gonna start cracking down on non-work-safe icons. Work safe here is being defined as no exposed genitalia or nipples, or giant curse words. Or overtly sexual situations.

None of that pg, pg-13, nc-17 crap because that is so debatable. Please follow our guidelines. You're allowed to use your nws icons everywhere else on journalfen. Excepting, of course, communities that specifically ban them like us and we'd really appreciate it if you just remember what keyword triggers what when you comment. We don't want to, but we will crack down on you, kay? Thank you.

Second announcement: YOU CAN NOW CONTACT THE MODS (not that you couldn't before, but now you have an email address) so go check out the fandom wank userinfo to get our email as well as finding out Apoplexia's sexual history.


And our final announcement, Hugsnkisses is back. The day right after I finally give up and put her in the missing in action column. Why? Because she sucks.

It might be the way you ask. What you consider "simple" can come off as blunt and challenging. Try putting "just curious but..." or something like that at the beginning of your questions.

And if you don't get an answer right away, let it go. The more you keep at a topic, the more you seem like you're challenging the answers you get, even if that wasn't your intention. The more you persist at a subject, the more people will think you have invested in it.

Repeatedly responding with a question (outside of a game of questions) can also be seen as argumentative, even if you're just looking at different angles of the same thing. It can come off like you're pointing out flaws in someone's statement. If your response to someone is the equivalent of "yeah, but..." you've got a good chance of rubbing them the wrong way.

It's really hard to communicate tone over the internet with the lack of nonverbal cues. Yeah, some people are just oversensitive, and some people are just having a bad day. But if a lot of people are telling you you're being argumentative, check the tone of what you've said.

Hope that helps.
