I changed the rules but I'm not going to tell you which, and stop being so passive-aggressive!
Since F_W seems to be suffering from an abundance of fail and grudgewank, it falls to dear old [info]otf_wank to keep us amused and away from the unfunny! Today we bring you...a polyamory wank!

...

Yeah that would be a terrible idea. Really it's a fantastic piece of mod-wank taking place in the lj polyamory community. Edit: This wank courtesy of the mouse brigade in [info]wank_report


So [info]00goddess is the mod of the polyamory community. She makes a post letting people know she changed the rules of the comm. However, she doesn't say what change she's made, or link to them. And no, I have no idea what the "ongoing problem" is, or the rule s/he changed.

Don't you just love it when things kick off in the first thread? Basically, people ask for a direct link. Now, let me just quote comments #3 and 4 from this thread, and I think we have everything we need to know:

triadruid: "It seems perfectly reasonable to ask what's new, but if you wish to make it a guessing game..."

00goddess: "I don't wish to make it a guessing game. What I want is for people to read the whole damn thing attentively.

Passive-aggressive comments? Just annoy me."

AND WE'RE OFF.

In her personal journal, 00goddess confides to the masses that she's been contemplating deleting the comm. This thread...I don't even know what the fuck is going on here. Suffice it to say that both parties miss each others' points by miles and then there's butthurt for everyone!

Then it goes back to the community, with this post. I don't think I even need to tell you to scroll down for a good time.

I'm capping a bit but I don't have time to grab all the comments before work. I heartily encourage any wankas with time on their hands to archive this for posterity, however!

I remember when synecdochic was working on the initial Dreamwidth code, she did a "did you know about this feature" poll on that, and I clicked whatever the "OMG I HAVE BEEN ON LJ FOR LIKE A BILLION YEARS AND NEVER KNEW THAT" option was. Seriously, unless you did it by accident, how would you even know?

Yeah I found out just by doing it on accident a few times when I first joined so I figured it out quickly enough, but if people DON'T do that, I don't think there's ever been an "LJ How To" to explain it.

This is how I learned, I think, lo these many years ago; I guess having bad eye-hand coordination is some sort of learning tool?

I think I found it by accident, too. My eyesight is not that great, so why would I even try to click something that small if there is a big username next to it?

I just did it at random one day, wondering if it went to the uinfo.
