Hi all!

[conuly]

A few things.

1. I've been busy and a bit depressed, so none of the most recent entries are in the memories yet. I'll get to that soon, I promise.
2. We've still got this mood theme contest running! Enter! I implore you!
3. As we all know, the new Harry Potter book is coming out soon. Please make sure you review the spoiler policy if you intend to post any icons about the book. For your edification, I'm going to post the logical extensions of the spoiler policy in an lj-cut. This isn't going to end up in the rules because it's all common sense. So, unless you think you need the help, you don't have to bother reading this:

Let's see. Don't post spoilery information in the comments of non-spoilery posts. Don't post major spoilers in the comments if the post only concerns itself with minor spoilers. Don't comment to non-spoilery posts with spoilery icons. This is all basic, and I'm glad I don't actually have to tell you all this. I'm only posting it here so that if somebody really does mess up, and doesn't think it's a problem, I can point to this entry to explain why I'm all upset.

I just want to be clear. If you spoil me on this book and/or start a flame war, I'll be pissed. That's not good for my health. This really goes for all books, of course, but popular ones get greater scrutiny because, duh, popular.

Thank you for your time.

So many of my communities are issuing ***NO HP SPOILERSSSS!!!!!!*** warnings, I'm just waiting for buddhists to cave. (small attempt at humor)

But I'm with you on it. Hope things are improving in your world, and thank you for your work with this community.

That should also include personal icons used to post with.

I had the main character death in book V spoiled for me by an Icon in a HP community the day after the book was released.

Oh I was pissed!!!

My friend accidently told me who died. This is way I'm staying away from my friends, the phone and the Internet until I finish reading the new one myself.

Yeah, I was just about to say that as well. In this day and age it's really the only thing you can do -- you're bound to get spoiled some where, some how, some way. Especially on the Internet.

Frankly, I assume anybody stupid enough to post an actual entry with a user icon that's spoilery will understand when I ban them for the duration (probably about a month). If I have to spell that out for people, I weep for the state of the world.

I don't want to advertise that too much, because I don't want to tempt fate.
