The most annoying words in the English language...

[moonlettuce]

...have to be:

Mods, if this isn't allowed, please feel free to delete.

Actually, why don't you just read the bloody comm rules, instead.

I have a rule in my head that if any post on any comm I own appears with these words on, then it automatically gets deleted. Yes, that includes posts that would have otherwise been absolutely fine to post. As soon as those words are on it, it's gone.

Does this make me petty? Probably. But it doesn't half make me smile to hit that 'delete' button.

I highly approve of your modding style. Two thumbs up.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

I find it's the modding style least likely to induce rage ::grin::

[crickwooder.livejournal.com]

ME TOO! I totally want to mod a comm just for that privilege, seriously.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

It's one of the privileges of rank ;D

[trobadora]

Ha, you have no idea how much I agree with you, and I thoroughly approve of your modding style. :D

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Some days, that's the only way to do it :D

[cycnus39]

Look at you! Revelling in your evil glee ;-)

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

I also revel in kittens. Evil glee and kittens :D

[hils.livejournal.com]

Please come and mod all my comms ;)

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

::grin:: Seriously, the amount of satisfaction you get from hitting 'delete' is awesome :D

[metaallu.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I'm actually not clear on whether something is allowed or not and I reread the rules a few times, but then I just, you know, don't post it e___e

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

The only time I wasn't sure if something was okay or not, I contacted the mods and asked. I think what annoys me is the 'Feel free to delete...' because my reaction is, 'Honey, it's my comm, you're damn right I can feel free to delete' ::grin::

[metaallu.livejournal.com]

I'm too antisocial to contact mods. I don't even leave my fic authors comments unless I really like them >m>
/social anxiety

[realpestilence.livejournal.com]

I feel that way, too! It's very gracious of them to give the mods permission to delete inappropriate posts, isn't it? I guess reading the rules is just too darn much work.

It's like those people who post to fic finding comms but have to share their life story before they tell you what they're looking for. I DON'T CARE who you are or why you want to read it, just tell me and I'll do what I can!

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

lol! Tell me about it! Torchwood seems the worst for that one (although SPN isn't far behind!)

[xandutch.livejournal.com]

*is in agreement*

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

::high fives you::

I suspect that even if you'd make this an official rule, you'd have plenty of posts to delete that contain those words. ;)

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Speaking from experience: Yes, you do.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Very true!

[beren-writes.livejournal.com]

Oh god yes, so this! It doesn't take five seconds to send an email off to the mods to ask if you're not sure about a post even having read the rules.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Exactly! It just strikes me as, well, bloody annoying ::grin::

[stageira.livejournal.com]

Is there any way I can get you to come and mod all the H5-0 comms am in? Noooo? :(

And is it possible to do that with all the writers who seem to have no idea how to use a posting header? ARGHHH.

Go you.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

H5-0 comms would hate me, because I'd ban the never-ending fucking plot bunny posts, for a start. The amount of times I've seriously considered leaving those comms because of the completely irrelevant shit that gets posted.
