The line between helpful and annoying is not as fine as you think it is.

If anyone receives any other messages from this person spamming the crap out of Dean/Castiel fans EVERYONE about that fucking "best tv couple ever OMG" poll, report them for spam and then drop the username here. It's pretty much symbolic, but at least I can ban the accounts from deancastiel, as well ( Read more... )

people on lj are insane

destiel_un5 at least for me.

Thanks!

Just ran a search about this. People are also reporting destiel-verse3, destiel_epoch3, destiel_w2, destiel_world3 and destiel_earth3

JFC, how much free time does this person have?

Thank you!

Apparently this person is also including a link in some of the spam to a YouTube video on how to create sixteen million LJ accounts in one go.

Is THAT what that was? I just checked the message I got in my old-as-dirt account, and the video was set to private or something.

I was pretty sure that they're using deancastiel as a springboard, because that old-as-dirt account has no interests related to SPN... but I did use that journal to test something in submitting fics into the queue, so it's listed a member. But if they're just randomly sending messages out to people, I'm even more irritated.

It's definitely the same person and it's too bad, they are burning a couple of good lj names...

I'm not huge on the "destiel" portmanteau, but it sucks that non-annoying people can't use them now. They're probably using a piece of stolen fanart, too.

Thank you!

destiel_e2 for me. Man, I feel dirty even typing that word. *shudder*

D/C Fandom: I thought we all agreed, guys? We do not embrace the D-word! It's dismaying to see just how many people apparently didn't get the goddamn memo.

vichan February 8 2012, 02:24:36 UTC

Thank you!

I'm not a fan of the portmanteau in general, unless they wind up hilarious like Spander or Snack. :D

Good GAWD, yes. DO NOT SUPPORT THAT PORTMANTEAU. I mean... come on, that just sounds stupidly juvenile. I *cringe* when I see it, and that happened before it got to be all over the place, shoving the pairing's OTP-ness on everyone and everything.

D/C Fandom, make it STOP! We're smarter (and less annoyingly pushy) than this!
