[MOD] Some reminders and other things

[acidae.livejournal.com]

THE USUAL

» All birthday-related celebrations must go in the Birthday Masterpost, regardless of what form it takes. Please do not make new posts to the community with them!

» Please follow the rules regarding the size and amount of image previews in your posts! There have been many posts rejected for this particular reason.

» All requests must be made to the Masterpost of Requests and not in the community.

» For everything else, please read the rules to minimize the chances of your posts being rejected; if it was not approved, it is fairly safe to say that it was because you had broken a rule.


GANTZ-RELATED

» If you are planning to or have already posted a report on the Gantz premiere and will be locking it for whatever reason, please make sure to state clearly in the community post how long it will stay public for, and tag it with the *public (temporary) tag.

» All posts regarding writing in to review or request subs for the Gantz movies will no longer be allowed, as there has been a sufficient number of posts that provide comprehensive information on where to write letters to, not to mention a gantz_movies community available for more specific issues.


OTHER

» This is pretty old news, but as I have received a couple of queries regarding the matter: saobang2211 had been banned from arashi_on several months ago for breaking a multitude of rules here in the community, the most serious of which were adding LinkBucks links to her MF mirrors and stealing others' scans. She is still continuing to do so by reuploading scans from places that are both 1) hard to access and 2) prohibit reposting/reuploading in different languages in her own journal and other communities, which I am unable to do much about, but I would like to bring this matter to everyone's attention so you are all at least aware of what is going on.

» This is more of a question than anything else, but I would like to ask for opinions on the growing trend of people only leaving posts on their own journals and communities public for 1-2 days. How do you feel about it? Is this something you feel belongs in the community? Do you think there should be a minimum number (eg. 5) of days before someone locks their posts? (Again, I will not be making any decisions on this any time soon; all I really want to do is get a grasp of how everyone feels about this matter, since this affects the members of the community as a whole.)

100% agree with this post.

This part is something I'd like to see put into place. I think, its not wrong for people who wants to do that for their own reason, but after they locked their journal its better if could they delete their entry in the com so people know that its not accessible anymore amylia reason is more than a fair reason for this to be put into place. I hated when I finally got around to giving Arashi my time of day, that I waste time chasing entries that weren't accessible. Just like I hate links to other communities that aren't taking memebers. IT's not that I don't understand why they close memebership, but why "teaste" those not part of your community?

And also if you don't think this is true, you really are joking yourself. Like the person above said, there are certain people who does this just to add more friends only.
