(no subject)

Posts with comments disabled will be deleted (as per the rules of this comm). This is expecially true if they are posts by people who come into a community simply to troll and insult the members (and in rather a hypocritical fashion, might I add, considering the compression on your last usericon).

This is a community for book icons. This is not a ratings community, a "we only accept you if you can jump through hoops for us" icon community, or a place where people come to be insulted. It is just a place to post book icons, and if you feel the inexplicable need to critique something, be constructive about it.

And if you're a coward and keep deleting your inflammatory posts and disabling comments, then I guess that's what the ban tool was made for.

edit: and I just said the exact same thing as Connie :)

I disbaled comments to end the subject and issue an apology. That didn't work out so well.

I didn't realize no comment posts would be deleted.

And I'm sorry I said anything about the abundance of shitty icons icons I don't like.

Thank you so much!

thank you :)

Hasn't there been enough warning? What constitutes a ban? It's obvious nothing about it is sincere.

It's nice to have mods who actually moderate, pay attention and do something. Kudos.

And thank god for it, and its fantastic mods. You guys rock. Thanks for all your hard work & generosity in choosing to run a community without elitisms.

Hmm... I've only been watching this community for the past week or so and I've somehow managed to miss whatever post(s?) was the source of this controversy. I do, however, have a small concern about the contents of this post.

In the LJ FAQ one finds the following question. I'm including with it part of the answer:

Can I cross-post an entry in multiple journals or communities? (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=198)

* You can post the full entry in one journal or community and then link directly to that entry from the other journals or communities. When using this method, you may want to disable comments on all entries but the original to ensure that all comments are made in the same place.

Would it be acceptable to make a post to this community with comments turned off under the specific circumstances mentioned in that FAQ answer, or is the rule of leaving comments on all the time an absolute rule?

I know this is totally off-topic, sorry. Can you tell me where your icon pic came from?

[sarrabellum.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry if I, in any way, fed the troll. I was just so appalled at the first post trashing everyone here, and then at the second post, with that fake apology full of scarcely-veiled insults. My apologies.

I'm glad s/he's gone.

And thank you both for being such wonderful mods. It's such a pleasure to be a part of this community.

[ada-byron.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you. This is the LAST place I expected to see such a post,and it's nice to know that we have mods that are dedicated to the community members and integrity. :)

Just curious...

Hey...this might be a stupid question, but can you tell me what a Troll acutally is? Part of me is wondering because I come here a few times a week, look through all of the wonderful icons and perhaps save and credit/comment (nicely) as required. Are you a troll if you don't have the software to make icons of your own? All of my posts here are comments.

I missed the discussion before with the now banned user, and I'm glad that I did. But I'd sure like to know if just browsing is not okay in this community. I'd make icons for you to look through too if I had Photoshop or something.

I really like the icons in this community. Please keep up the good work!
