It has been a very productive morning.

[bard_linn]

Some, if not all of you, have undoubtedly heard about the Declaration of "war" over at HoS. Most of us are pretty amused this time around though a few of us were hurt by the wording, and to agree with the one person who said it, "war" is a pretty strong term for trolling, especially for those who have been in a war zone.

After a bit, I did my duty as a comm mod and banned the trio in question. I was hoping that would calm things down. I don't particularly care about wank one way or another - this in particular was amusing - but icedark_elf doesn't want it on the comm and some of the other members probably aren't enjoying this.

So, what did I do this morning?
1) I changed HoS to moderated membership, meaning that you'll have to request to become a member.
2) I got rid of anonymous commenting on the comm.
3) I put on the ISP logging option. :)

They can still comment, but I know how to take care of that soon. ^^ In a lot of ways I hate to do this since it puts a lot of restrictions on a place that was so open in the beginning, but I think its necessary.

And in case the any of the trio in question make their way over here, I want to make something clear.

It was my personal decision to ban you and to freeze the comment threads, as the only active mod around during this little incident. So if you want to "attack" some one you can take a swipe at me.

*pets Linn*

On that note...is the HoS FAQ done? I told you that if you guys finished it, I'd read it over, maybe write some ficcage, become a member, etc. ^_^ My decision about that hasn't changed, just so you know.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

*purrs*

No, not yet. *flails arms* That's another thing on my "list of things to do" that I haven't got to yet. Must write WWC: WR ficlet first. Anniversary's tomorrow. >_>

That makes me glad to hear Devi! *glomps* I will make that my next prioty. ^^

[devils-devotion.livejournal.com]

The only reason I don't, thus far, is because I'm reeeeeeeeeally anal about what's established and what isn't, and any other generic rules the comm might have. ^^

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Don't troll? XDDDDD

I'll work on that soon. Promise.

[devils-devotion.livejournal.com]

Obviously. XD

Well, send me a link or somesuch when you get it done! *hugs and kisses*

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Will do! <3

[celes-grant.livejournal.com]

I'm glad someone stood up to take this foolishness away T_T Ty bard_linn sama~ but I did have a question. (it's prolly in FAQs, but...) would current members need to reapply again? I know it wasn't necessary before, but I am curious :D ♥

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

BARD_LINN-SAMA?!?!? *falls over* No sama! I'm not worth of a sama. *cuddles the celes*

No, you don't need to reapply. Every one who already had membership still has it. And if you don't, let me know and I'll add you. <3

[dragontrap.livejournal.com]

It was best to nip it in the bud because there is no real reason for them to start a war just because they were feeling left out of the fun (And if they don't like the 5, why the hell are they even reading the fics in the comm in the first place O.o?)

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

I know. I doesn't make any sense. *shakes head*

[celes-grant.livejournal.com]

I'm no sure if I do... *cuddled, blinks, giggles* ♥ I watch the comm, but I think I'm not a member? Oh, my poor tortured soul cannot tell =x=;

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

*checks* You're a member.

[celes-grant.livejournal.com]

YAY~! *dances* then I should do stuff for this place omg. *delurks* you should expect some art or something soon X3

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Super!

And you'll most likely need more restrictive measures than those.

[mikkeneko.livejournal.com]

CONGRATURATIONS!

A WINNER IS YOU!

[anax.livejournal.com]

Well darn, now that membership is closed, you realize that I'm obligated to finally join the comm. *contrary*

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

*approves request* XDDDDDDDDD

[celes-grant.livejournal.com]

XD I wish I had a bajillion icons for every oneof my emotions X3

[ymfaery]

Wouldn't banning them prevent them from commenting on the community?

[fabricalchemist.livejournal.com]

Nice. Very original.

[lanerose]

♥♥♥

You win at life. ^_^

[lanerose]

Yes You ARE, my dear triplet. You figured out how to make all sorts of controls work and other such things happen, and have just done something generally good and wonderful!!! ^_______^ ::applauds::

[lanerose]

Eeeee!!! New artist!!! HIIII!!!!

/annoying

Seriously though, yay! New smextastic art = love. ^_^

[lanerose]

Ooo, New Author!!! Yay!!!!

::can't wait to read what you come up with:: ^_^

[lanerose]

I ::heart:: you. Thank you for taking care of everything and restoring our nice, safe, wank-free zone. ^_^

... though I gotta say, surprised the heck outta me to get a request to join HoS in my inbox this morning. XDDD This makes it make a lot more sense. ::nodnodnod::

[devils-devotion.livejournal.com]

It was so lovingly original. ^^ This is why kaitou_marina is so much better than all of us.

But especially you. Yeah, especially you.

*calls* Hey, Linn, are we supposed to be avoiding wank on this post? You didn't specify.

[devils-devotion.livejournal.com]

Oh, you could, trust me. ^^;; I write slowly and crappily.

[lanerose]

Now see, I'd believe that, except I've read things that you've written before, and recall enjoying them immensely.

...and so, I'm still happy and excited. ^____^

[devils-devotion.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahah, but I really fail at het. I could probably do it if provoked, though.

Then again, I fail at anything that isn't OTP. WHOOPS.

[celes-grant.livejournal.com]

LOL! *glomps* zomg desu liek I lurve you ♥

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

But ya know, HoS HAS OTP. : ) And AterRoyxEd and stuff.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

I had a LOT of help from Mikke, Hime and Kaltia. And the FAQ. ^^ *blushes*

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Wank away if you'd like. I don't care either way. :)

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Hm. Its might, might not. We'll see. ^_^

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Awww. *hearts back* I do my best. ^^

[devils-devotion.livejournal.com]

This post is so flooded with spam. XD!

I have massive stomach cramps, ow. I just didn't realize how annoying they were until they HIT ME IN THE GUT.

/more spam!

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Well it isn't yet...*is amused*

Wah, must go back to physic problems. And writing fic for worldcollision

[ymfaery]

I just realized: if it doesn't work, then you'd have to set the community so that only members can post entries *and* comments (which would be a bit of a pain for the nonmembers, but oh well).

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

There is another way to do it, but I have to wait for them to do something first.

[ymfaery]

I think I can guess which way that is, but that still leaves it open for them to troll with their fake journals (assuming they actually bother to create more than one).

Still, it's up to you and the other mods. I only browse the community once in a while anyway.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Hopefully it won't come to that. ^^

[honooko.livejournal.com]

HI! I'd like to be a member, and I figured what with the War O'Wank, it might be a good idea to just drop a line, letting you know that I'm not a troll, and I'm applying for membership. I'm a gen-u-ine ZOMG SINNER!@FOUR! fan of the comm. ^^

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Cool! Glad to have you aboard. Hope to see you around on the comm! ^_^

[terrierlee.livejournal.com]

Once again, I'm glad I didn't participate in the flame war.

@____@

I've been so busy working on my arc, I really stopped reading and I planned on reading the other arcs some other day. So I didn't bother reading the fic that started this all. And I'm so very happy I didn't.
