Hello everyone~
I'm Dimmie, one of your new mods. I've recently spoken to the creator of this comm about how it has gone a long time unmoderated, and she has very graciously allowed me to help moderate from now on. Thank you,
sana_chan! I've also enlisted the help of Mura (
gekidasa), and together we'll do our best to keep the place in order. ^^
For starters,
gekidasa was an angel and revamped our
layout and
profile page. Do check out her awesome work! Then, I went and tagged all relevant posts in the community all the way back to 2005. We're trying to cut back the number of request posts, and this should help avoid repeated requests of files/lyrics that have been shared over and over. Now you can browse the comm's past entries from
the tags page or from the sidebar in the layout, and check if the files you want have already been shared before requesting.
In the process of tagging, I've deleted a lot of request posts that were never answered and were just sitting there, talking about media sharing in public - which brings me to my next point: from the very first day, it has always been a rule of this community that
ALL media-sharing posts should be locked. In the past months, we've had a lot of posts sharing and requesting files in public. This is not good for us, and this rule
will be enforced by myself and Mura now. I'm going to go back and comment on all recent public media posts, asking posters to friends-lock them. Some posts are just too old and can't be helped now, but from now on
there will be no sharing of files or talking about it in public posts. Posts that do not comply with this rule will be deleted.
For now, these would be the biggest changes we've made. Please do take a minute to
visit the profile and read the comm's rules carefully if you're not familiar with them (especially the ones regarding file sharing and posting etiquette, as we've had a lot of spammy posts lately). We didn't make up any crazy new rules, we've just clarified the old ones and will start enforcing them from now on. We don't intend to start a reign of fear or anything ;) all we want is for this community to be the best place for quality discussion about the Kazuki we all love.
That'd be all for now. Thank you for the attention, and carry on with the fangirling! :D/
