makesmewannadie brought the OT posts in this comm to my attention earlier today. Over the summer, I noticed a few off-topic posts, but they seemed to be few and far between, so I let it go. But it got to be too much just before and after the election: sorry I didn't notice; I was traveling as a campaign volunteer and then regrouping.
The way this comm works (unless and until we change it) is described in the userinfo. In excruciating detail. Although the campaign is over, people are welcome to use the same system to raise money for other things, as stated in a prior mod post.
Everything else, except mod-initiated discussion of the future of the comm, is OT, and I'm going back to deleting it.
Completed stories and art that were created for pledges belong in the sister comm,
voteworks.
And whatever else you do in this comm, no yelling, and no running with scissors. :) Thanks!
