	...I'm sorry, but the modding of Metaquotes has gone to *shit* since Kielle died. Who the hell are they getting to be mods these days? Humorless Dick Off The Street? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Oh, thank fuck it's not just me. The "Every post, locked or not, must be QWP and you have to SAY SO!" rule is bad enough, the "Link to context, BIATCHES!" one is even worse, and now this? Gah! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Word. They try way too damn hard anymore. Here I thought the "post what you want, whining will be mocked and drama will be stomped" approach worked just fine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bubosquared 2006-01-03 11:11 am UTC (link)
	Me too! I mean, I can see how the line between "Whinging about how a quote isn't funny isn't allowed" and "Post whatever you want, no matter how bigoted/offensive/downright off, and no one is allowed to tell you off for it" can be hard to draw, but for fuck's sake, people! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The "Every post, locked or not, must be QWP and you have to SAY SO!" ..I'd largely been ignoring the community for ages. I did not know about this new rule. I am now head-desking so hard. Jesus, that's dumb. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	So fucking annoying! Because then you have to wait for permission and GAH! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It explains why that one person waiting for my response was so "finally!" about it. Oops. It just never occurred to me they'd make that a rule. I mean... every time I post without a f-lock, I do so with the understanding people can and might quote me elsewhere--in their own journals, in communities, off LJ even. So if I don't want something spread any farther, I either f-lock or just don't post at all. So what the hell is with...? No, don't tell me. I'm positive there's some kind of weak logic or some kind of story involving some indignant somebody who couldn't do the mental math I outlined above. And it would annoy me a lot less if it had always been in the rules, but as is? *headshake* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bubosquared 2006-01-03 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I remember there was at least on twit who wanted people to ask before quoting, but still, it's ridiculous! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	m_butterfly 2006-01-03 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	Was Kielle the one who made the "Smile! You've been metaquoted!" image, or was that someone else? I guess you can't use it anymore, in either case--it'd need to be edited to, "Smile! You've been requested for permission to metaquote and if you don't reply to this it'll never happen!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	phosfate 2006-01-03 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	She made a wodge of Stickynote graphics, and I believe that was one of them. I don't think she was the only one to make a "you've been metaquoted!" graphic. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Gah, I mostly read my LJ flist on a no-communities filter at work and when I'm tired (which is all the damn time when I'm not at work), so I missed it too. So, so stupid. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	cie_anthy 2006-01-03 12:14 pm UTC (link)
	I thought it was just me thinking that. Getting pissy if the post isn't linked, warning people right and left - it's really annoying. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	(Anonymous) 2006-01-04 02:25 am UTC (link)
	I know the feeling. If it's friends-locked and quoted with permission, isn't that enough? It's not as if we can read it, anyway—and linking to it isn't necessarily going to make the person that locked it unlock it. Why bother with warnings about f-locked posts? The mind, it boggles. —kickthehobbit (lj) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	trollprincess did a good job, but there's too many of them now. And when I say too many, I mean joshualore. Is it possible to mod worse than that? And why does s/h/it type their modly announcements all in lower case when their shift key works just fine for screaming purposes? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Indeed. I appreciate that Trollprincess has a life and I can imagine that modding a community with 7000 members must be insane, but 10 mods? Da hell? When did this happen, and why is it so crap? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I knew this would show up here. Metaquotes is the rare sort of community where you can see wank on the horizon a mile away. Still, we're wanking over hair now? I thought the ice-cream wank was bad enough. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	m_butterfly 2006-01-03 02:08 pm UTC (link)
	Given an infinite number of communities with an infinite number of members in an infinite period of time, eventually everything, no matter how minor, boring, or day-to-day, will have been or will become the topic of wank. However, despite that, there will always be at least one person going, "Oh come on, this is so lame/stupid." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	"OHNOES HANSON AND LONG HAIR WAS BEING BASHED ON OMGWTFLJDQ!" Hey! You leave the LJDQ out of your wank! Just because they've been wankfree for ages and you guys haven't. And I second the metaquotes OP on the mullet-banning, especially for girls. (Reply to this)(Thread)
