Gamers + Advertising = Wank
Unfortunatly, I missed the beginning of this, so I have to guess at what happened.

Roleplayers is the LJ community for all thigns roleplaying. Thus, it attracts wank every so often out of a law of gamer psychology (or something).

_grimtales_ apparently posted an ad for an RPG product he wrote on the community. The community has anti-ad rules, but ones that specifically mentioned no advertising for games people were playing/running. People reacted badly, and he took the post down. Later, he asked the mods, in a community post, could you please clarify the anti-ad rules, because I think product-advertising should be allowed.

Needless to say, some of the other members reacted badly to this post as well. We get such stunning original comments such as the 'world's smallest violin' pixel art/smily thing (repeatedly!), accusations of posting to a community just to back up a friend in an argument, definition-posting, Karl Rove (no Hitler/Osama/Sadam yet), and other fun.

I love gamers.
