MOD POST

[quarterturn]

I have to apologize for not being around to keep an eye on things much lately, but it sounds like we might need another revision to the rules. The current rules ask that you refrain from making the font huge on any entries you make to this community, but some entries are slipping in with that "not huge, but still kind of annoyingly big" size.

I totally understand the annoyance factor on that, and I'm actually one that tends not to read stuff that's locked (mostly because I'm far too lazy to actually go about trying to get friended), but I can see it from the writer's point of view, too. Some of it may be about attention, but I do think there are writers who are genuinely concerned about being found out by friends/family/co-workers/The Powers That Be.

Locking a post within the community is iffy, since it's an open community that anyone can join and automatically be granted access to all locked posts anyway.

I'd hate to try and put restrictions on what people can and can't do on their own journals, so I'd have to restrict them from posting here, which is also something I'm hesitant to do. I don't want to punish people just for being cautious, you know?

Are you seeing a lot of posts that don't warn that they're friends locked? If people are linking to fic without any forewarning that it's a locked post, I'd be happy to include a rule about that so people know what they're getting into.

No, I just saw one recently where you were required to friend the person's journal to read their fic. It just doesn't sit well with me and I know it's a rule not to do that in a lot of fic communities, so I just thought I'd ask. Thanks anyway.
