Hello all! I just wanted to address a couple of issues. They're not dire problems, but they have been causing some disruption, so I'd appreciate it if everybody could take the time to read this post and, if anything described applies to you, modify your behaviour.
Spam in the holds post:
Guys, I know it can be exciting when you see a hold request for certain characters, especially if it's one you've been hankering after, but please remember that the holds post is not a general forum for chatter or fangirling. Lately the comment spam has just been getting out of hand; it's clogging up the page and it's making it more difficult for me as the mod to sort through the various requests.
There's nothing wrong with commenting on a person's hold if there's a purpose to it -- for instance, if you're inviting somebody to get in contact with you for plot discussion -- but the inane comments have got to stop.
Reposting entries:
I've been told that some people have been deleting and reposting journal entries, seemingly in an attempt to bump posts that haven't received replies to the top of the flist. I understand that we're a big game, and when a game-wide event like the blackout explodes posts can get knocked down the flist very quickly, but there's really no call for this.
If you've left out a detail, you can very easily edit the original entry or make a new post; reposting the entire thing with only a couple of changes is not necessary, and can be a little annoying. And while you may feel disappointed by a lack of replies to a journal entry, reposting it to bump it back up to the top is a fairly childish move.
As far as I'm aware this isn't so much a widespread thing, but it has been drawing a couple of complaints and I wanted to address it now so we're all on the same page.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled RP. Thanks!
