We're Beautiful!
So, there's a ratings community on LJ, called prive_elite.

Its journal subtitle says it's a community for those born into the fabulous life...we don't pay cover, bouncers don't check us & we walk around the metal detectors which apparently renders them a cut above your average poseur, and thus needing to preen on LJ about their glamorous existence. Because, as everyone knows, LJ is where the beautiful people hang out these days!

The rules state:

prive_elite, the most elite rating community on LiveJournal. We only accept the utmost in elite here so if you don't have what it takes, you are not getting in. Think you got what it takes? Then apply and we'll give you our opinion.

Rules: 01. You must be at least 15 to apply here. If you're younger than that don't bother. You're just annoying.

Naturally, this level of exclusivity doesn't just happen- it takes a serious level of commitment to the cause. The application requires you to "pimp like a crack whore" before getting down on your knees for the actual prostitution. You have to indulge in a little prior foreplay, by saying who of the existing members you think is especially gorgeous and why (with a mod-specific ass kissing opportunity), before the really hardcore cam-whoring begins. The members then vote on whether you're gorgeously fabulous enough to be one of their sleek selves. (It seems makeup needs to be trowelled on, softcore porn poses struck, and hair extensions may well help. Tres elite.) If accepted, you too can vie for such glories as the Superlative for "Best Hair"! Now, isn't that a prospect to swoon over?

But it seems the need to promote has caused a few problems.

And they didn't
take
too
kindly
to someone who took it less than seriously, either...

Sadly the prior wank, over inopportune promotion, was deleted. (Thanks to the troll's friends who saved screencaps.) The many post trolling cries of indignation appear to have been deleted too, though this was salvaged.

Thanks to the reporter

EDIT: Even more "special" is le_riche_elite. It's for "the affluent of LJ", aka "people with rich parents", who are apparently even cooler!
I'm generally an apathetic third-way-type-capitalist, but anarchism never looked so appealing. And "affluent" is only one vowel off.

Edit 2: The people strike back! We have la_pauvre_elite.

WARNING- links are very image heavy.

EDIT THE THIRD: Cthulhu, High Priest of the Elder Gods has applied to le_riche_elite.

"2. When examining others, how important is their financial level to you? Fairly important, because rich people can afford to work less and pamper themselves more, so they tend to be softer and tastier. However, poor people are usually less educated and more superstitious, and thus easier to bend to my will."

EDIT THE FOURTH: Bahleted! But that's okay, because it's also here.
