Rules Update:
It's been a long time since I posted here, and I might start doing icons again, and see if I can recover some of the older ones. But before I attempt any of that, I want to discuss something that happened, and how this is will affect the rules from now on.
It was a while ago, but someone decided that my comment about how poorly TPTB handled the cancellation of Forever Knight -- a show I love, and even own a prop from -- was somehow insulting it. Said person also thought it was cute to (anonymously, of course) curse me out, and by association, everyone else who liked another vampire TV show, because they apparently appear to be of the mentality that there can be only one.
It was a pretty ridiculous comment overall, but more importantly, it was outright verbally abusive, and liberally peppered with ableist slurs. And look, we all have opinions about different shows, but that behavior is not okay.
Nobody has to like the shows or people I make icons of. However, that doesn't give them free reign to verbally abuse me or any other fans of the show. That is not, and has never been, what the community is for.
There are plenty of places to be toxic fans. This isn't one of them. At the time, I didn't even think it needed saying. I was wrong, however.
So let me be clear:
People who engage in verbally abusive behaviors, harassment, bigotry, or just toxic fandom bs in my community will be banned.
