Re: If you were Supreme Emperor of _coal

[(Anonymous)]

I really hate trans wank, and I think it should be deleted, but I've been on anon memes that have slid down the slippery slope to being way overmodded. The thing that coal needs to embrace if deletion isn't in the cards is to get better at self-policing. Especially when it's really obvious that that troll decided to be gross because people didn't think that genderswapped male characters deserved to be in all femslash exchanges.

Re: If you were Supreme Emperor of _coal

What kind of self-policing are we talking about?

Re: If you were Supreme Emperor of _coal

[(Anonymous)]

DA, but I think lol_meme is a good example of how this can be done. And once you establish the unwritten rules, _coal would start self-selecting for people who want those rules/culture.

The problem I see on _coal, though, is (similar to the problem of FFA) that people want there to be rules that are either mod-enforced, or agreed upon by the crowd. But on an anonmeme, that's realisically not gonna happen, so really people have to be the change they wish to see.

Clearly you've been identified as a troll.

Re: If you were Supreme Emperor of _coal

That is in fact interaction, albeit an asine one.

Re: If you were Supreme Emperor of _coal

I refuse

I don’t like that emote

Re: If you were Supreme Emperor of _coal

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like any emoticons in the subject line.

Re: If you were Supreme Emperor of _coal

[(Anonymous)]

Instead of meaningless blathering, simply do. That's more effective and efficient.

Re: If you were Supreme Emperor of _coal

I don't know why you're assuming that, or why it even matters.
