Totally off-topic post:

I've gotten tired of all the fic-finding requests spread out across other communities and even more so the yammering about the horror of it all so I whipped up mcrficfinder. (hell yeah, totally ripping on an old idea, rock on) I suspect I'll be the least attentive community maintainer ever so if anyone has a burning desire to mod a community, let me know.

That's a neat idea! If you really need someone to help with moderating duties, I have loads of free time until I find a real job and I spend most of the time glued to the computer, so I think I could do it, if you want.

I think it should be pimped over at the Hellpit mychemicalslash at least, if the newly-active mods will allow it.

The Hellpit, I like that. *grin*

I suspect that there won't really be all that much to do but I occasionally have short stretches of 'oh god, no more lj' and stick my head in the sand for a few days. I suspect that having someone else available in case of random issue might be a good idea. I'll go check some box somewhere and get you squared away.

So was that a victimvolunteer for a pimping post at The Hellpit? *grin*

Well, 90% of the time it's a fitting description of that community, really. :)

Great! I think it will give me far less problems than the other community I mod, or at least I hope so. (Nothing can be worse than having to deal with fiction writers on ego overload, trust me)

...that would require me to join The Hellpit! I had successfully avoided to do that until now, but I think I can survive that. *g*

I just got the email from LJ telling me that I'm a maintainer now...just a question: do you want to leave the comm with unmoderated posting?

[beatpropx]

Yup, because I believe in ruling with an iron fist. You post something inappropriate, it gets deleted. You do it again, you get the boot. I mean that 'repeat offender' in the userinfo in a very non-loose way. *grin*

(Un-moderated posting, yes. Perhaps because I hate waiting around for a post to be approved even more than having to wait for an answer, I'm all for instant gratification)

You are a total peach, I was dreading writing that post. Thank you.

Hah about a week ago I was thinking about creating that exact community (same name and everything) and I never got around to it. So if you're still looking for help moderating I'd really love to be involved.

[beatpropx]

You bet, I even know where the appropriate clickybox is now. *grin*

Earlier in this thread I gave anne_elliot my run down o' philosophy regarding the comm which you might want to read. I'm keeping it simple and I don't think there will be many problems. The other story finder comms I've been on seem to pretty much handle themselves, but having a couple of mods never hurts!
