pith: (if in doubt ask)
[personal profile] pith posting in [community profile] lkh_lashouts
The mods and I are discussing changes to make to the FAQ and once we're done, we'll open the discussion up to the whole community to see what you guys would like kept, removed, changed, etc. Keep in mind we won't be able to implement what everyone wants, because some things just won't be feasible, but we'll try to keep a balance between "what will keep a 1000+ member community running smoothly?" and "what will make a 1000+ member community fun?"

We are going to try another change with the blogflogs, though, in part inspired by the wonky RSS feed. This community was founded by people who wanted a safe place to criticise LKH's writing. As it grew, though, there was an element that wanted to criticise her as a person. For a while, it was mostly in decent taste, if not quite good taste. Somewhere along the line, a nasty element came in, and posts and comments went beyond snarky into downright catty and immature—not to mention repetitive. We all know she's hypocrite about her private life: she complains when people talk about it, yet she blogs about it for all to see. We know how badly she wants to appear edgy. But at this point, her personal life has been dissected past the point of good taste.

To that end, blog posts pertaining entirely or mostly to LKH's personal matters will no longer be flogged. We'll try this for a month or two to see how it affects the community. Blogflogs will still come through the [livejournal.com profile] blogfloggery account, and if we miss a relevant one—or if you have any other comments or concerns—you can use the contact form on the bio page (and the Lashouts website) to get in touch with the mods.

So, basically you're getting rid of the blog feed? Because she doesn't blog about her writing.

If you want to limit the community to just mocking the books, do that, but don't bother to keep the blog thing going because it's never going to be relevant to the community.

No, I get that, I just think it's going to be kind of... pointless for someone to have to monitor the feed to see if she just happens to write about writing. It might just make it easier on everyone involved to make the community only about snarking her writing. YKWIM?
