Sorry to post this here, but I'd like your opinions.

I've been having problems over at degrassi_icons and this is the second time this has happened. Two months ago I posted a multi-fandom icon post at my journal with eight Degrassi icons in it. I went through to all the applicable fandom icon communities, post a teaser of that fandom's icons and a faux-cut back to my journal. Of course, this was fine everywhere,

Since I've recently been decided to be the new co-mod at degrassi_icons, I feel the need to defend her

I actually didn't know there was a whole post for this, but I would've said something if I had.

It just makes me mad for it to be such a chore to post my icons somewhere. All I want to do is be able to share my icons with the Degrassi community at large, and I didn't think linking to where the credit was would be a problem. If I'd linked to my userinfo saying the credit was there, would my post have been deleted?

It just all seems very silly to me.

And most fandoms have "elite" or "good" icon communities. It's not to say those icons aren't good. It's just to hold up to maybe a higher standard of icon making. Is it condescending? Probably. But it just makes for a place where people can go to find icons that aren't just any old thing.

Anyway, point being, I just don't see any need to be all rule having. It just upsets people.

Could you please drop me an email so we can discuss this like adults? Thanks.

Their rules are a little tough. Yes, to be fair, you did break them, but they shouldn't be so "rigid" as you put it or whatever. You're doing the right thing about not even posting there anymore...if you don't agree with the rules then just don't deal with it. I, myself, find no problem with them as of yet, but I understand anyway =]
And my friend actually runs another Degrassi icon community if you'd care to check it out sometime, or are interested...I don't think it has quite so many rules, if I remember correctly. _degrassicons_. Just thought I'd mention it. =P

[jadedanielle]

Hah, just read all the comments above. She already mentioned her community. Whoops. =S
And if you and Herb (howdyrocker) make one, I'd sooo join. And help out, if needed. Just offering =]

[ladyemma]

That'd be awesome. Thanks, hun. ;)

[sandy_s]

GAH! That's so frustrating...she could be a little bit leniant with you...it's not like you were blatantly violating the rules! *HUGS* I don't blame you for not posting there anymore.

Go hug your JW clone...he's good for that! ;o)

[howdyrockerbaby]

Ahh!! Is that the guy that is like one of Joss Whedon's MAJOR Hat Tricks? Who played Nox on Angel, and was in The Message on Firefly and Conversations with Dead People on Buffy? ha ha ha.... sorry... i'm random.

[sandy_s]

YES!!! :o) It is him...ladyemma and I have this joke about how we'd like to clone him cause he's a cutie! ;o)

[howdyrockerbaby]

He is a cutie... too bad i want to poke out his eyes every time i watch early season 5 Angel episodes with him in it.

[mortalsimi]

crap on their heads and start your own community.

you have amazing icons and they don't deserve them.

love you!

Alrighty you were just telling what happened over at degrassi_icons. You were not talking behind their backs like Cal said at degrassi_icons...well she actually said "go around badmouthing people behind their back" Which you were not doing. I'm saying this to make you feel better about the whole thing.

[ladyemma]

Thank you. It does make me feel better to have people verify that I'm not completely off-base here. ;) *sigh* Anyway, thanks again for the support.
