Current mood:*sporfle!*

The O.C. is a somewhat silly high-school soap drama on FOX. theoc_slash is an lj community for people who want to post and read slashfic based on the show. Recently, torchthisnow, who is a mod, made a post concerning the status of the community:

Jesus Christ. If people are going to be making posts bitching about this community and why it's gone downhill, okay, I'll tell you why it's gone downhill:

This is a SLASH FIC community. That means that the things you post here are:

1. Fics.
2. Fic challenges, which is something like "Ryan and Seth take a road trip. Must include banter about Thelma and Louise, and Pez." Or something like this
3. Fic announcements - ie, ficathons, fic awards, etc.
4. Other things of a slashy nature - ie, manips, music videos, etc.

It's not for people's half-assed "won't someone please please write me this story?" posts. That's not a challenge. If there's a fic you want that badly, written that specifically, write it yourself.


All is well, until aflowerinrain comments with "Still, sometimes I wonder if half the people who post here are absolutely blackout drunk, or stuck in the fourth grade, or desperately need to see some kind of sex therapist.", torchthisnow (allegedly) jokingly agrees, and all hell breaks loose.

See a mouse cry oppression!

Look on as vascopyjama takes on the mods for everything from bringing down the community to not dealing with the stress of modding like they should!

Marvel at vascopyjama going at it again with the oppression!mouse as her sidekick!

Watch another mouse educating people how to behave in/run a community!

ETA: torchthisnow weighs in on the wank in her own journal.

Small, but amusing.

Geez, the mods for this community must have the patience of Job. At that point I would have said, "You know what? Feck this shyte...because you can't act like adults, you're going to have to go elsewhere for your fics because this comm is so bahleetsville."

We came SO CLOSE to banning people over this, you have no idea how much our patience got stressed. But we figured by banning them, we'd just be proving their point. So what can you do?

My friends who actually live in Orange County would agree. I know nothing about the show, all I know is that it's nothing like real life in Orange County, and they've told me to never start watching it.

That's something you should have done three threads ago.

Yeah, really. Isn't it just common sense to say that you're not getting involved before you actually do get involved? What's the sense of sitting there and poking badgers with spoons then saying "I'm not saying anything! Look at me, I'm being good!"?

(sorry about the first comment. Little brain fart there.)

I think [info]vanscopyjama is just the physical manifestation of STFU.

Geez, you have to wander how people survive real life who are this dramatic.

Okay, I hate to say this, but it's posts like these that bring down a community. It just messes around with the group dynamic.

Yeah, because it's the mod enforcing the rules that's so totally the problem here.

Damn, I wish I had a journalfen account just so I could sign in and prove it's me, but, well, I'm torchthisnow, and DUDE, this whole thing was blown so entirely out of proportion.

The post that aflowerinrain made the "sex therapist" comment about was this post we deleted a couple weeks ago where a guy have EXPLICIT DETAILS about his sex life and then ended this completely random off topic post with "...and someone should write a fic like that."

If anyone cares, I went into way more detail in this post on my LJ - http://www.livejournal.com/users/torchthisnow/193694.html

Good God. That's unbelievable.

If that's how you mod, I'm horrible. I try to make all my modly posts/smackdowns a little fun. Even when it IS a smackdown--I always inject personality into my modly posts, which I don't have to do very often at all. My comm is very well behaved--mostly because it's very new and small at the moment, I suppose. *pats comm*

Vascopyjama? You have a stupid opinion. Keep it to yourself.
