people are idiots. you guys do an awesome job here anyway. it does suck that you have to start enforcing that rule, but it will make this community a better place. I don't post much but I've been lurking for a while now (maybe 8 months, give or take), and even 8 months ago it was a lot more, er, "focused" out fake DEATHS instead of outing fakers in general.
I take outing fakes seriously and so do a lot of other members of the comm - and I think I can speak for all of those people when I say that we don't want to be made to look like complete idiots.
Why go into the fakers journals and mock them? We can just do it here- behind their backs- which is much more fun :)
It bugs me when people anonymously post in a fakers journal- because it totally screws up the investigation, not to mention the lulz we get from continued posts from the fakers. Prematurely going there and saying "haHA! We caught you!" just takes all of the hard work the people in this community have done and throws it right out.
I just checked....a week ago there were three, now there are eighteen. The sicklyheart debacle cleared out a lot of people who couldn't control themselves, I guess.

Hopefully, this will set an example.
