Modly: Read, please.
Disclaimer: I've had a long, stressful day, so if my tone gets snide, I apologize. I also apologize for the lack of coherence, because I don't really know where to start.
There are days when I don't even recognize this community anymore. So many new names I don't know. At one point, I pretty much knew everyone here. I still remember the convos with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
refche which spawned this place. And I have a confession to make: I never really thought this comm would last. I figured the novelty of snark would wear off after a while. I certainly never dreamed we'd get more than 50 members. Now we're around 250. Where the hell have I been?
So onward.
1. NO THREATS ALLOWED. They may sound cute and witty, but the reality is anything but. I'll snark the hell out of LKH, but threatening her, her family, her employees, etc. crosses the line.
2. I don't read all the comments. Once upon a time, when the comm was smaller, I did. I can't now. So if something wrong/Not Cool happens in comments to any post, please e-mail me at the gmail addy and give me all the relevant info (links, names, etc.).
3. Re: "The Spy". If you're talking about the person who requested that private messages not be posted here, she's not a spy. I saw the username and I know who she is. She puts up with a lot of shit, so lay off, please. She didn't insult the community; she made a simple request, one that is not unreasonable or unprecedented.
4. I don't want to put set length requirements on posts, but don't post oneliners, please. I'd say aim for at least 5 sentences—and decently long sentences too, not just three-word ones. Likewise, pleaes LJ-cut ALL longer posts (i.e., ones with more than 3 decent-sized paragraphs), whether they have spoilers or not.
5. Behave. Please. I know that's a dopey thing to say and someone will inevitably trot out "behave is relative/subjective/doesn't apply to me!", but please, use common sense. (Common sense, of course, being sadly uncommon these days.) I don't want to be an overbearing mod. But if I have to literally make this a moderated community where I have to approve each post—if that's what it takes to clean it up—I will. I'm really hoping it doesn't get to that point, though.
Comments, questions, and/or concerns can be sent to me, as always.

In short, I don't hate her enough to ever want to physically hurt her. And well, I have pretty bad aim, as is. I can't throw very far. And if I were to throw her book at her, I would probably miss and hit some helpless fan waiting in line.
Although I may not actually do it myself Pith, but I don't know if I can speak for some other people here...*cough*
