Listen up!!

[lirimaer]

Now that we're well over 1000 members, Ruby and I have decided that there needs to be a few changes around this place. And we've been trying to put a few of them into place, but you guys just haven't been listening! >:O

Just as a suggestion: I believe there's a function where all posts are automatically friends-locked? (I know several other comms I'm on have them). Wouldn't it just be easier just to do that?

[lirimaer]

I've been trying to figure that one out, but I haven't been able to find it. I'm not sure if LJ still offers it. Many communities that use it are older ones. :\

[wh00shwh00sh]

I think Jrock scans has that function on. you might be able to ask for assistance there. :]

Thanks for the rules update! I appreciate it. :D

[sylviarr]

Yeah. I dont remember how I put it up. [the automatic friends locking] x_x

One of my friends gave me the instructions, and I tried to find the post a while ago, because someone asked for it, but I couldn't find it. :/

I have a question. If I've already posted a reply to someone's request and they've gotten it, is it okay for me to make a post in the community so that other people can get them too (as I call them "leftover posts")? This is what I usually do. I just wanted to make sure it'll still be okay. o.O;

[lirimaer]

Why? They can see the post requesting and are perfectly capable of looking in there to see if a request is filled. If people are too stupid to do that, then they don't deserve the music.

...sorry if that comes off a bit bitchy, but I really want to cut down on the insane number of posts we've been getting here. I've recieved many complaints and people have left the community because of it.

[nibun]

^o^ That's a great point. Whenever someone requests something I'm interested in too I usually look into the post to see if anything's been put up. It would be nice to cut down on all of the posts. ^^;

[starz_13]

There's actually a community called jrock_leftovers for that purpose..

Go here: http://www.livejournal.com/admin/console

type in: set for jcrack newpost_minsecurity friends

I believe that should work. ^^; Past entries won't be changed to Friends Only, but any new posts will be automatically FO.

[lirimaer]

Oh! Excellent! And it works. *just tested it* You are my favourite person of the day. <3 Thank you.

[noin]

No problem. Just trying to help out. I'm grateful for the work you guys put into the community in trying to keep it structured and running smoothly, so thank you! ^___^

On the AIM/MSN thing, if people can't use those but they can use YIM (for some reason) then they can trade through that, too. ^^; I use YIM but not the other two, and it works fine.

o_o *runs*

[lirimaer]

Yes, of course. I always forget that one. Ta.

[divinerebel]

Me too! YIM only *ducks flying icons*

[grayish__wing]

I like the fact that you have very good rules!! I ran a community before and had to shut it down because people refused to listen and also because I was too nice about it.. But you guys are doing very well.. Hats off to you!

[lirimaer]

Rules are very important, but so is actually enforcing them. I'm not afraid to delete posts, take away posting access, or even ban members. I've done it before and will do it again.

[grayish__wing]

I don't blame you.. And if you don't show you're serious ppl don't take you seriously and won't bother doing what you ask.. So yeah show them who's boss hahah ^^
