Admin Post: Rule Clarification and Additions

[jessimuhka]

Hi everyone. We (your lovely moderators) have noticed an upswing in the number of posts targeting individual users, rather than the snark worthy material within those posts. This post is not directed at any particular snarkers, it is a general problem we've been discussing over the past few weeks

I'd like to say word to what subbes said-- I don't post or comment, but I do read, I'm totally not a sockpuppet.

since my most recent post probably fell under making fun of a particular user, i deleted it. i'm sorry for seeming to open up on a specific user, but that wasn't my intention. i'll be watching myself from now on.

If this is not possible, we will consider each applicant on a case by case basis.

That's what this sentence means. We aren't going to turn away anyone who appears to be a legitimate LJ user, we've just had problems with people with those random string of numbers accounts stirring up shit.

Here or here are examples on my hit list for removal. The commenters that I have seen for this post do not have the same level of suspiciousness that these do. No comments posted/received. No "real" friends. No entries. No icons. Recently created.

I'd like to vouch for my friend vangie, who wants to join. She's snarky and funny, and I think you'll like her.
