Question For My Lovelies...

[daxcat79.livejournal.com]

So I noticed the other day that another community did awards, like fanfic awards, and best art awards, and stuff like that. It seemed like a great way to celebrate some of the amazing stuff that's posted on this community. I was just curious if there's something similar here, and if not, was it something people would be interested in?

EDIT: Maybe we could do like an epic bookmark thing instead? Everyone goes through favorite fics till we have like the biggest rec list ever from every category, including art. Then it's not a competition?

I don't know if image threads will work for some all the things friday posts, where things are a party atmosphere and spontaneous and images are part of a conversation, although for posts that we know are going to be image heavy it would work. And maybe a warning in the header that images have started to turn up, hmm.... We can't exactly police people starting to chat with images or gif wars or random icons (guilty as charged) and I know people don't always warn for those if they're not sexualised, although they should when they are... Maybe 'here be images, note if NSFW, warn if NSFW? *thinky thinky thoughts and taking notes*

Spoiler cuts, that would work :)

That makes sense! But yeah, if it's more organized party post, then a graphics thread is good. If not, then spoiler-cuts.

Parties aren't fun for those who can't join in, after all.

I think if it was a rec post version of all the things friday or one of our sectioned off ones, it'd work, but a lot of them are meant to be party time things. I'll put forward the spoiler-cut idea though, even if it's only until a thread collapses. Like I said, we can't police everything thought. (And, personally, I lean more towards keeping an eye on warnings, plagarism, people being nasty to each other, as my priorities when I have my mod eyes on.)

We do try to be as inclusive as possible at all times :)

I wasn't asking for policing, just an awareness? And yes, I'd rather you concentrated on warnings over graphics, too.

Well, we're aware, but that doesn't mean that everyone else is aware, which means that we need to do things to make sure that they're aware, which includes politely tapping people on the shoulder occasionally...which is what I call policing *shrugs* walking the beat kinda thing, y'know? Like I said, we work on it. We work on everything, we do we do *grins*. Yeah, we've been building up to that rules post and most of it is about warnings because we've been paying attention and wrestling with it. Fingers and toes crossed, my friend, fingers and toes crossed.
