MOD POST!

[superba]

Right, seeing as it's Lord of the Rings time of year again, can I just ask anyone thinking of posting touchy pics of the boys, to check back at least one day to see it hasn't already been posted please?

I know I know, it's a real pain. But older members will remember the trouble we had last year with the sudden surge of LotR pictures, and the eventual repetition of them.

I'm a massive fan of the guys, so I completely understand you wanting to post photos of them being cute together, but please realise that not everyone is feelin' the LotR thing, so just have some consideration for fellow members.

Checking back is great, so we don't get the same pic three days in a row, and also remember that LJ Cut is your best friend, not only for big pictures, but also I think all Lord of the Rings pictures should be placed behind a cut after a while (say, a week from now? if the craze is still going strong? - let me know if you think otherwise) to let the non-Rings fans have the choice of whether to look or not.

I hope this seems fair. It's just I don't want flame wars starting again... for our number of members we do alarming well, there's hardly ever any trouble in here (and I love you all for that :D), and I hope you agree with me in wanting to keep it that way.

Cheers,
superba

ps: I should have added, that from now on if you put a picture up in here that has already been posted, I will delete it.

ps2: Just another thing as well.

Actually, and I speak as someone who's really here for the band touchin', I would support not only lj-cutting all the lotr pics, but ALL the pics, if you can manage it.

Then no one has to look at what they don't want...the pervy hobbit fanciers can get their fix, the bandslashers can get theirs, and we'll never have to be touched by the ICKY that is the other side.*

Or I dunno. I'm no mod, nor was meant to be...

*Mild sarcasm there, yes.

I can see your point, but I'd rather not let it get to that stage if possible. I think it's still nice to have pictures on your friends page (I like it, anyway!) and I'd like to think of someone checking out the community and seeing the odd picture, rather than just a long list of Lj-cuts...


And - and I'm saying this generally to anyone who's reading, not just you :) - I don't want this thread to be a debate on band-touching, because with all our members there's bound to be different tastes (which is like, the whole point of this post in the first place really), and we just have to accept that.

I don't want the LotR fans to feel like they're being punished, because they *so* aren't. I'm just trying to avoid all the mess that happened last time those darn Rings boys were all over the media...
