Large multi-topic mod post, please read!

Let me get the serious business stuff out of the way first:

From now on, we are not going to allow any tabloid/gossip articles about the cast or crew's private lives, and we are not allowing any paparazzi photos that could be seen as creepy or an invasion of privacy.
This does not mean all paparazzi photos.  Some, like pictures of the cast and crew

And please don't cheat and use sweets or something like Matt did, I know you're all more hardcore than that and can handle fish custard.

hahaha! Love it!

A good deal of Time Lords were batshit crazy too, though.

[kirrilee_t]

I liked it too and would have it again. So maybe we're all fob-watched Timelords.... Or we're all batshit crazy. XD

The doctoreleven empire is fast growing, our next goal could be world domination.

[sharkshark]

It's not an empire, it's a commune.

We're just a bunch of hippies in the woods, living in harmony with the birds and the little foxes. Until we're eaten by bears, but eh, what a way to go!

I really really appreciate the comm not allowing anymore tabloid or gossip articles regarding Matt. I'm a bit strange in this area I think, but I really prefer just knowing about what an actor is up to in regards to films/tv shows and if s/he is doing any charity work. Outside of that, gossip and tabloid stuff just bothers me. So thank you mods, I really appreciate this!

Yeah, I know how you feel.
This is a recent issue because before this weekend, we hadn't seen any gossip articles, so we hadn't even had to think about it before. But as soon as stuff started showing up, a couple of the other mods and I rushed to talk to each other and figure out a policy, because we were all creeped out by it.

[a1cmustangpilot]

I can imagine. I think that's what I fear the most about running actor comms, the gossip articles. I know that some recent articles have caused a few of my buddies some grief, which is unfortunate. Thank you for getting together so quickly and coming to this decision! I agree, the tabloid stuff is creepy and can give the wrong message to any children who are on the comm. :/

Also, thankyou mods for not allowing tabloids to be posted here. I just saw an article where they took a photo of him coming out of a fucking toilet. Apologies for my language, but these things should not be seen in our loving community. That article was so creepy I cant even.

[sharkshark]

...what. ...what.
That is so beyond appalling. I'm guilty of reading the occasional celebrity gossip column, but I just can't understand how someone thinks that something like that is appropriate. Being in the public eye doesn't mean you're allowing people to stalk you with their cameras. :|

[arnoldthepigeon]

The photos came from The Scum, no surprises there.

I saw the toilet story and didn't even need a nano second to reject it as content.

The Gossip mill has gone batshit, everyone in here has been pretty good about not talking about it, but the media can't seem to leave it alone now. D:
