Admin Update 1/5: Important New Rules
FROM NOW ON, IF YOU IGNORE THE FAQ AND ASK ME FOR ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT, YOU FORFEIT YOUR SUBMISSION. Did I get your attention? Good. For the sake of the main page, the rest of this post is under the ‘read more’ button – however, that does not mean that you can claim ignorance. If you’re considering submitting, make sure that you read this post. This means: I’m sorry that it had to come to this, but apparently so many of you found it impossible to read the FAQ that I’m getting beyond frustrated. It seemed like the last time that I did this sort of “tough love” consequences for rule-breakers, it actually helped somewhat. It’s been made clear to me lately that apparently these sorts of stringent rules are necessary to be in effect all the time. This is for the sake of my sanity: I seriously considered just saying “screw it” and closing up shop because lately, the community has just been making me incredibly angry rather than excited to run this website. I want to continue to enjoy this, despite how many of you are doing your absolute best to make it an awful experience. I have taken the time over and over again to ensure that the rules of submission are laid out clearly. I have made many requests for you guys to put a bit more thought into both what you submit and how you treat me. I’ve appealed to your kindness and hoped that by reminding you that I am, in fact, a human being with his own life, you guys might be convinced to show me the respect of acknowledging my rules. My inbox is completely filled with the submissions and requests of people who have made it very clear that all my attempts to make this manageable have fallen on deaf ears. So I am doing what I have to in order to try and bludgeon the message through to you people, since it’s obvious that the less harsh rules were ineffective. Thank you for your time, and I sincerely hope that the type of people who this message is aimed at actually read it.
