About (READ ME DAMMIT)
So I figured hey, I have about 20GB of space up here gathering dust, I have WordPress on one-click install, SixApart is being a penis, what the hell?
Named in keeping with the BOC theme from the old LJ.
ADVISORY
TL;DR: PLEASE DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE IN MY HOUSE, THANKS
There is a reason why my old LiveJournal had comments locked to friends only. I realize this was grossly unfair to those of you who might have been capable of acting like civilized human beings on the Intartubes. I am prepared to give any and all who wish to comment a chance to do so. I am also prepared to punish anyone who reminds me why I had that policy in place. Here, then are a few ground rules.
- This is not a democracy. This is not your “safe space.” This is my website. I built it, I pay for it, I decide who is welcome and who is not. It is my house and I expect you to behave as such when you’re in it. The First Amendment does not apply here. This is not LiveJournal. LiveJournal TOS does not apply here. This is not DeviantArt. DeviantArt TOS does not apply here. This is not whatever other site you wield some modicum of power on. Its TOS does not apply here. I don’t care who you are or how big your $admin/LJ Abuse/SixApart corporate/etc. dick is, it doesn’t mean shit here. Freedom of speech, while granted by default and revoked only upon display of asshattery, is a privilege here, not a right. If you make a comment I deem stupid, expect to be flamed, mocked, and/or b&hammered. Things I consider stupid include but are by no means limited to:
- Spam. If I want your crap, I’ll call you and buy it. I’m pretty sure your fellow readers don’t want your crap either. This is not a billboard. By leaving ads for your junk on my blog, you automatically consent to having your IP address and any personal contact information listed in the WHOIS info of any websites you link to publicly posted for the rest of the world to do with as it pleases.
- Comments barely recognizable as English. If you can’t be bothered to spell simple words like “you” in full, type things like “a lot” and “each other” as two words the way God intended, or learn the difference between “their,” “there,” and “they’re,” I can’t be bothered to care what you have to say. Lord knows I find a little leet/lolspeak amusing now and then. Hell, I’ve got a whole album full of silly macro glee in my gallery simply because that shit amuses me. But entire paragraphs of “lol u tk him 2da bar?|”-level writing are not funny. They are, in fact, a little scary. They and their authors will be pointed and laughed at. This also applies to capslock addiction, weeaboo fangirl Japanese, excessive use of smileys, and abuse of ellipses.
- Personal attacks on me or anyone else here, especially when they’re totally unrelated to the topic at hand. Let’s just get this out of the way right now, shall we? I’m fat! I’m butch! I’m bitchy! I don’t conform to your unrealistic beauty standards! I’m a fangirl! I don’t have a glamorous high-dollar job and don’t particularly want one! I eat meat! I write gay porn! I write fanfic! I will most certainly not get back in the kitchen and make you a sandwich! I will not show tits, nor will I GTFO! And yes, although it has not a goddamn thing to do with any of your problems with me, I probably do need to get laid! There. I have done this so you won’t have to. Do it anyway: mock, b&, etc.This should be common fucking sense. Your racist, sexist, homo/hetero/trans/biphobic, anti-[whatever religion], anti-atheist, anti-agnostic, anti-fat, or other such ignorant bullshit is not welcome here. Take it to 4chan.And no, unlike a certain LJ community I won’t name, this is NOT a ~*safe space*~ for bigots. You don’t get to come in here and make comments such as those described above and be protected from the dogpiling you fucking well deserve.
- Drama in my comments. Sometimes a good flame war is amusing. Sometimes it’s just stupid. If you are engaged in such in my comments and I ask you to take it outside, you shall do so immediately on pain of bannination. If I am posting on a sensitive topic and you suspect other folks’ replies may infuriate you beyond the point of rational discussion, do us both a favor and don’t read them. If you are being an asshole in response to rational discussion, you will be shown the door.
- Spam. If I want your crap, I’ll call you and buy it. I’m pretty sure your fellow readers don’t want your crap either. This is not a billboard. By leaving ads for your junk on my blog, you automatically consent to having your IP address and any personal contact information listed in the WHOIS info of any websites you link to publicly posted for the rest of the world to do with as it pleases.
- If you say something exceptionally stupid, you will be made fun of. Possibly in a whole new post dedicated to your stupidity. If you don’t like this, consider thinking before you comment.
- As a rule, I put huge images under a cut or behind a thumbnail. You can deal with embedded YouTube content. Do not whine to me about your dialup. It will fall on deaf ears, for I was once on it and I didn’t have a problem. Cope.
- And finally, this blog is not a personal ad. I have a boyfriend, and chances are you’re not him. Don’t e-mail to ask, don’t comment to ask. I can’t believe I even have to tell you people this, for Christ’s sake.
