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

Oi, I hardly use LJ (I just use it for this community) so I'm not too familiar with the codings or anything. ^^;; Could someone tell me how to "friends-lock" posts? =)

[shirann]

I believe it's being done automatically now... but if you still want to know, when you update your journal to post, there's an option that says "security". Just change that to "Friends" and the post should be friends-locked.

[riku_tsuyoi]

Ah, I see. ^^;; I'll try that on my next post. Thanks for telling me how, Lizchan! XD *smiles* Oi, I still owe you an e-mail. ^^ I'll e-mail you either tomorrow or during my spare in the morning on Monday 'cause I just have too many school projects. -_-;;

*Has just read the rules*

Good idea. I personally don't have a problem with my friends page being spammed by Jcrack posts, but I can believe that other people might.

I'm also in full support of moderating posts. After all, it's your community, isn't it? Your comm, your rules. People should obey them or leave.

*Is hoping that she doesn't disobey the rules herself... ^^;; *

*shakes head* Even with the new rules, I come back after sleep and there's half-dozen new posts.

And, I have over 100 friends, but I see more posts from this comm than them somedays. I can only imagine how people with smaller lists must feel.

The new rules don't seem outrageous or unfair and I hope they work because my friends page is definately overflooding and it's getting tough to check everyday.

[lirimaer]

Thank you. I also felt that. This is supposed to be a fun place for everyone, but that's tough when people don't want to look at it or requests get pushed down extremely quickly (without getting filled) because everyone wants to post with requests and gifts all the time.

Thank you very much for your new rules. I just cleaned up my friend's page and I get overwhelmed by the posts from this community... some without lj-cuts. It made me consider unfriending it. Anyway, these rules are very just and are sensible.

Requesting for entire things are a bit extreme. I've been guilty of that no doubt, but then I realized that it is quite greedy when I tried uploading it myself.

Thanks again.

Actually, only 4 of the rules are new. (post about music, comment on posts, post requests to original post and limits for that) The rest are the old rules made more clear.

People are really abusing this sort of thing. The community is supposed to be about trying out new music, or finding odds and ends you can't buy. It's not supposed to be about building a music collection without supporting the artists in question.

good rules. yup.
