MOD POST: Email problems and an interruption in the wank

[info]snacky
Dear people of the wank communities,

Please allow us a moment for wank business.

Your mods are not receiving any emails from JF letting us know that there are posts in the mod queues, awaiting approval. This leads to wank back up, something none of us want.

Until JF's email issue is resolved, if you submit a post, please also submit an email to the Modsquad (mods @ thefannish.org), so we will know it's waiting for approval.

Thank you kindly,

Your loving Modsquad

Hot High School Slatterns!

[info]apoplexia
Friends, Romans, Wankas.

The Republican (lol!) Twilight self-publishing wank has been deleted owing to the balance of evidence suggesting that the subject was almost certainly underage. So if you saw that video with the hickey on her breast, I hope you feel suitably dirty.

In this case, her age was not exactly prominently displayed, but bear in mind that if you have any doubts about the age of the subject, don't post it. Or check with your loving mods.

Also: if you want to bring something to our attention, send us an email (ideally with a link or links). Don't just comment that "mods should look at this," since we may miss something buried deep in a comment thread.

We remain your humble servants,

the modsquad

It was about robot buttsex and now you make it EVEN WEIRDER.

[info]seiberwing
Remember this wank (also known as this wank) about death threats over Transformer porn?

[info]lady7jane, you were right.

Cut because this is getting damn long. )

Fail mods are failing

[info]sepiamagpie
Dearest, beloved, Fandom Wank.

I know you were looking forward to great excitement today. Some of you said words to me that indicated you anticipated fiery 'judgement' upon those who remained fresh and dewey white, those you call n00bs.

Anyway, you got today instead.

Stop anticipating things, we'll just break your hearts.


Sincerely,

Sepia P. Magpie, Esq.



PS: Use this post to reflect on how you could be better people. Or just fuck around in the comments.

Hmmm, what's the date again?

[info]snacky
As you all know, we've had a lot of n00bs join [info]fandom_wank recently, and we've been suffering some growing pains. Once again, we urge you to read our user info and learn about the rules and how to contact the mods and all the non-fun business.

Since we have so many new baby wankas, we need some help gently reminding the young ones (and some not so young ones) of the rules. We want you to be the FW Nannies, and help us guide our sweet n00bs through this harsh, wanky world. So, if you see any of the following things:

thoughts on yaoi
out of control boobie trains
excessive posting of recipes
unfunny macros
wank reenactment in the comments
trolling, trollbaiting, trollbiting, trip-trapping across my bridge
any random breaking of actual rules

please, feel free to use the comments of this post to tattle report to us. We've set up a new community for our baby wankas, [info]fw_timeout to spend some time, if they are caught. Make sure you join!

Remember, this will make us a stronger community!

Happy birthday to me

[info]sepiamagpie
You're all a bunch of whores. (no! don't go! I love you! D:)


The random bannings will occur after I get home from drinking. You may appease my drunken wrath by filling the comments of this post with macros and cute animal pictures.

Do it.

DO IT NOW.

____________________________________________

Birthday over! Thanks everyone! No sacrifices required. This time.

Mod post

[info]snacky
Members: please join us in [info]fw_debate for a discussion. Thanks.

Oh dear.

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Mod post: I know, not again. Sorry.

[info]snacky
Just a reminder, and clarification: it's okay to post LJ/6A wank here or to otf_wank, or clairvoyant_wank or wherever.

It hasn't been banned, and anything funny or wanky about it is okay here.

[info]6a_cornfield had different mods than the wank comms, so if you have any questions about their rules, you should check with them.

MOD POST: We would like you to read this. If you don't we would like you to send us boobs. NOW.

[info]snacky
Welcome n00bs!

Before you do anything, READ OUR USER INFO!

Yes, it's long.

Yes, it's very long.

But it's important. Our big rules are there. Breaking any of them will get you warned and/or banned.

The mods are creatures of whim. [info]phosfate might call you a "whiny little fuckstick." [info]sepiamagpie might call you a "whore." [info]eljuno might create a whole 'nother comm where he can rule you with an iron fist. [info]apoplexia might kill you in your sleep, so don't ever give him your address. [info]sorchar's the one with Uglycat, and [info]panthea is the funny one, and I'm the one who has to hear about all the mean girls in high school. Oh, I almost forgot [info]wankprophet: direct all marriage proposals and offers to bear internet babies his way.

The user info has handy links to our other comms (if they're wank comms, most of our rules apply there, unless otherwise noted), and to our wiki (which is down right now, but will be back soon). The user info is required reading, but the wiki is not.

Remember, we are not nice here. We are here to mock fandom wankiness. We are all wankers ourselves, and often turn on and mock each other. If you chose to misinterpret the name of the comm, and decide it is an invitation, do not be surprised when we mock you for wanking in the comments.

Be prepared to eat your own. EDIT: By which I mean, this comm is mostly self-modding. So if you get told by another member you're doing something wrong, LISTEN. The mods only come around for the serious shit, and that's because we're really lazy. Pass the doritos, plz.

Welcome to [info]fandom_wank.

Actual Mod Post

[info]sepiamagpie
You know what pisses the mods off? Using FW to solicit readers for your jackassery. Friendslocked material is not permitted and frankly, we don't like people inviting others to view it here.

This is why we can't have nice things, kids.

[info]luvginnyarwen, [info]kvader and [info]varkias (as well as: verthandi, having had a previous warning for this behaviour) have received bans. The others received temp bans for the duration of a week. I would like to remind people that the reposting of friendslocked material is also grounds for your journals being suspended, according to the admins of JF. Also, it makes us look more like assholes than usual.


Although I must thank you people. Now no one will ever top my ban record.

ANNOUNCEMENT

[info]sepiamagpie
Us mods have discussed it, and, well, we've decided this:

All Harry Potter wank is banned in all wank comms (including the Cornfield) for the duration of the month of July.


The quite lengthy reasoning behind this new rule behind the cut )

Do I have to say this?

[info]snacky
I don't think so, but just in case: DO NOT POST SPOILERS FOR DEATHLY HALLOWS, PLEASE.

By that I mean, do not post un-warned-for, uncut spoilers. Do not just randomly drop them into comments. If you're posting a wank where people are freaking out because of spoilers, that's okay, but just make sure you're clearly warning for spoilers and you put them behind a cut, so people can avoid them if they want.

There's a post here at [info]fandom_lounge for spoiler discussion if you want to be in on it.

I think that's about it. Questions? You can email us at mods@thefannish.org, or you can take it up in [info]fw_debate. Also, you can ask us to unban thornstar in fw_debate, because that's always fun and about half as controversial as HP spoilers. :D

[info]sepiamagpie
Okay, okay. Enough of that.

Enough of that tawdry seriousness, let's get back to some major frivolity.

Thank you all for not going insane and rioting in the streets.

It's time to get serious

[info]snacky
On this day, the most holiest of days, [info]fandom_wank saw two tragedies...and you know, they're well-documented in the wiki, so go check them out there.

But Deletegate and Fandom _Love taught us one important thing: Fandom just isn't funny and it's time we stopped deluding ourselves. Give us your tl;dr, your very angry thoughts on very serious subjects, your nitpicks, your peeves, and dare we say it, your thoughts on yaoi!

Your voices have been crying out and they have finally been heard. Thanks especially to [info]rotten_fish for helping us see the light. Our new user info reflects these changes and will hopefully answer any questions you may have. It is time for some serious business. Seriously.

This Week on Journal Fen: Mods and Anons and Pandas, Oh My!

[info]doriangrey



All right, here's a report about what's been going down. Thank you to the person who gave me their spare account and to the people who helped put this together.

******



We've all learned a lot this week. Disagreeing with [info]pyratejenni anywhere, anytime will get you banned. Being reasonable won't get you anywhere, missy. You can just satisfy that banning fetish elsewhere! Anyone with legitimate concerns can just STFU. Keep that common decency to yourselves, u h0rs! No, no one said anything about any death threats, it was actually death to het, or something. Damn Harry Potter slashers. Well, maybe not, but it's as good an explanation as any.

Still, we're left with many questions and anon memes don't do much to provide the answers. Is all this posturing merely a ploy by [info]pyratejenni to get the attention of a certain special someone? And will [info]fpb live happily ever after? Not even the pandas know. These kinky creatures can tell you what's it's like to be the sidekick or about British indy movies but they can get homesick.

Celebrity guests, love and hate, some shipping, yes to double penetration and no to pull-outs (but what if you only have one ass?), and we will never look at Christian Bale or Stephen Colbert the same way again (don’t worry Stephen, you’ll always be top anchor with us!). Doctor Who makes a valiant effort to kill the internet but in the end, all your fandoms are belong to Bale Panda.

(Sadly, not all fics could be included but there's a list of pandafic here.)

Okay, since people seem to be having a hard time either reading, understanding, or remembering the community rules, here's a reminder:

They're under the cut, since linking to them is apparently not working either... )

Announcing *trumpets and all that* a new community for the nice mice:

[info]anon_no_more where anonymous posters can ask paid users to request accounts for them. The community has been approved by the JF admin and is good to go. How to go about asking is spelled out in the user info.

So for all you long-suffering nonny mice posters who have longed for icons of your own, have at it.

Reminder! The reason we do not discuss She Who Must Not Be Wanked is very simple: she's been banned from Journalfen as a whole (banned by ZR and Robin by IP).

We do not wank minors because they're not allowed on JF, and we don't wank/discuss Stormfreak (EDIT: I've removed Stormfreak's AKA here, since her defender, Zinkshipper, complained about it on the wiki - even though Zinkshipper herself has linked to it, and SF identified herself as it here. But okay, pretend you don't know her other LJ name. If you wank her under that name, fair game, I guess since we're not supposed to know it, evidently) because she's not allowed here either, and it's not playing fair (damn our ethics). As well, when her name is mentioned, she usually shows up posting anon, and that leads to anon commenting being turned off (which no one wants, right anons?).

So, she's persona non grata on JF, and we ask that you don't bring her up on any of the wank communities. Thanks.

This is not a post to discuss Stormfreak and what she did or didn't do, just so we're clear.

ETA: Comments disabled at the request of the mice.
