March icons bring April wank.
Icons mean wank. The OMGDUNSTEEL!1!! begins when, in [info]book_icons, [info]angelys posts some icons. Well, some teasers, anyway. In order to get to the real icons, though, you have to:

1. add her personal icons journal to your friends' list
2. comment to let her know you added her
3. submit to cavity search (well, I'm reading between the lines there...)
4. wait until you're added back

Wow, these icons must be the equivalent of Picasso or something to merit these security precautions. Not that I would know, being no judge of icons. Anyway, the members are not pleased, and make their feelings known. The wank almost immediately flies from the OP:

"Can you read?" Always a way to earn friends. Especially when she "took the time to put it in bold to make sure people would see it." Hand-crafted html tags take a while, you know. [info]sarrabellum gets into the fray in a couple of threads; others weigh in; finally, one of the mods, [info]dandelion, steps in with her argument:

I'm not sure if this is throwing my weight around, but as one of the two comm maintainers, I don't think I like the fact that you can't get to the linked icons. I'm not going to delete this post but I'd like to ask that you don't do this again in future. If having a post with no comments is not allowed, I think posts which require a condition to be met to even see the icons ought to be barred too.

Which is taken well by the OP. Who makes another post in her icon journal.

Finally, another mod makes a separate post in the community. And, boys and girls, guess who the other mod is... it's not a wank until [info]conuly shows up with wine in a box, is it? But in fairness, [info]conuly appears to be taking a reasoned approach. Still, whenever I see that name in a wank report, it's like Christmas... *sniff*

ETA... Bonus post in [info]conuly's journal. If loving her is wrong, I don't want to be right.
