Bannination

Hey y'all,

When we say "don't stir up shit in other communities", we mean don't stir up shit in other communities. When shit stirring happens, there's generally a spike in membership requests here (yesterday, up 700% from each day the previous week or two) and then one of us mods has to track things down and ban people. Also, if you're going to

MOD NOTE

Note: I'm working on getting the issue resolved between us and LSG behind the scenes--the issue, of course, is not the snarking, but the fact that we had members wander over there and try to stir up shit and vice versa.

Thank you for this. Can't be a fun job having to babysit the several hundered (thousand?) of us without the unfortunate few starting a turf war.

Yet another reason I don't even bother with any forums on Ravelry. :)

Oh but I wanna add that it's really hard getting used to the fact that EVERYONE uses the internet and nothing you do on here is secret. Like, when I'm complaining about a Local Yarn Store I have to remember to try and be constructive rather than insulting because the LYS owner might end up reading it and I generally don't want people to think I'm a bitch.

I'm kind of disappointed that some of our (former) members were that short-sighted. "Hey guys I'm sure no one will guess who I am on LJ, even though I use the same icon there and link to my LJ on my profile."

And they are having a damn hard time understanding the difference between "public, kid friendly community" and "locked community for bitching."
