Ground Rules
# Please friends-lock all posts including media files of any sort.
This includes all images, icons, mp3s, actual musical files, and anything taken from the official Tenimyu website or an actor's website. We do not have permission to post or re-distribute these images or files. We have no interest in getting into legal trouble over copyright violations. Please understand this, and in the future, please friends-lock all media posts.
After that long ago random harassment of a Japanese (supposively) speaking fan for doing something so horrendous as sharing files over the internet...
There is now this:

I don't know in what kind of context LJ is looking for towards fics, pictures, interests, and icons that are "questionable".
These back up my point that all post must leave the security lock on. A lot of members have been cut (aka: NOT banned) from the community due to the blatant and obvious disregard for the rule(s). To protect the community and its members from "teh internet police", those that were let go due to their lack of reading rules and understanding this isn't a small issue.
The vast majority of them where not told, as per it was too frequent for such an old rule. I apologize for non formal notification, for in my eyes it should've been a rule that was viewed something as common sense.
Communities, journals and fandoms are up against a widespread communist persecution courtesy of LJ.
Now more than ever, this rule needs to be followed. I never liked the idea of screening posts, but I will have to if needed be.
If you feel that you cannot abide by this rule, then please leave.
There will be no banning (excluding those who become/became hostile and unreasonable to the point of intentional annoyance), as I have stopped banning for over 6 months.
