[MOD POST] Mod post is just that--a mod post.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

First of all, we have a co-mod now!  (He is on the other side of the planet--it'll help with the whole...time difference thing in case something happens and one of us is at work or sleeping.)  Everyone say hi tomumumugen , the new co-mod!

Also, in regards to recent concerns, I will address them now.

1) About OC Nations:

I should have mentioned this when I first started this community, but I never expected it to get so big, so here is the rule about OC Nations:

Please put them in nationslash.  The reason behind this because of the fact that they are OC nations and not technically characters of Axis Powers Hetalia (created by Hidekaz) and therefore do not count as a part of "fanworks of Hetalia."  So please put them into nationslash by this time next week or I will have to delete them.

2) Concerning fanworks.

Fanworks will be posted as usual onto this comm, and I had originally intended for this community to not only be for scanlations, news, and discussions but also for fanworks.  People have indeed complained about the huge number of posts that seem to have clogged the community as well as their friends' list, and for this, I can only offer the following suggestions:

-Post an art dump (like an art digest) of many pictures in a post, perhaps once or twice a week instead of one picture a day.  This is encouraged for doodles, sketches, and Pchat logs.  But if you feel that your work is something that has taken a great amount of time to complete, go ahead and make one post dedicated to it.  Please use your best judgement.

-If you feel that you are scrolling over too many fanworks to get to news or scanlations and that it's clogging up your flist, my suggestion is to actually takehetalia off your watch list (while still being a member) and then bookmarking the comm itself.  Then use the tag system, which I have posted links to at the top of the comm page.

As such,
-TAGGING AND LABELING ARE NOW REQUIRED.  This is to make things more organized and efficient for people, and also make things easier to read.  The content labeling template can be found in the rules section of the community profile.

-It would be even better (encouraged) if you used also used labeling in the subject line that is in brackets, like the one in this post.  (example: [Mod Post] [fanart] [fanfic] [question], etc.) 

-PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER TO LABEL THINGS THAT ARE NOT WORKSAFE.

if there is anything I didn't touch upon or need more explaining, please leave a comment!

S-so mumumugen will be modding for two communities? Amazing! Congratulations!
These are great rules, I think you chose the best possible option. Thank you!
Have you considered incorporating the suggestions for posting fanart in batches into the community profile?

P.S.: Your last sentence is unfinished.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Yup, he will be helping with the modding here. OAO

Thank you for saying that. I really intended for this community to be something where people can post discussions and fanworks as well as have access to scanlations--so I hope I was able to touch upon the concerns from the last discussion post.

Yup, the suggestions have been posted into the community profile and are available to be read.

That has been corrected. Thank you!

[polandlithuania.livejournal.com]

[mumumugen.livejournal.com]

*salute* Hello there, leader! ^^ Reporting for duty.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Okay, first order of your duty...

...........................I dunno, tell the generous anon to write moar? XD LOL

[bubbole.livejournal.com]

Welcome new mod :D
Also I'm piled up a lot of doddles to make A HUGE STUPID POST about them ahu ~ !

[moriyama-umi.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the new mod and thanks youkofujima for keeping the community in check :)

[ekmisao.livejournal.com]

Don't worry too much, you're doing a good job (pat, pat).

[vavarazzi.livejournal.com]

Thanks for making a good decision here. You really know what you're doing, and maintain a very calm personality, which is so essential in a good mod. :]

And HELLO NEW MOD! It's nice to see you here too.

But I am very bad with replying at a reasonable time! OAO

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I've just seen a lot of other communities fill up with wank because the mods themselves get over-sensitive and emotional about the stuff. It's good to be passionate, but there's a fine line. I hope I'm doing okay.

[aphelion-orion.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm glad about these new rules, because a) it will make stuff I like to look at easier to find and b) while OC nations are fun, I actually got into Hetalia because of its original nations, and this flood of OCs is a bit distracting.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

*nod* You're welcome, and I'm glad you think that way.

I have already gone through all the mis-tagged or non-tagged entries, tagged them, and then cleaned up some other posts. Hope they will make your experience with the comm better.

[piratelicker.livejournal.com]

:)

*wasn't that interested in OC nations anyway*

*gets lynched by mob*

[cavechan.livejournal.com]

Thank you for re-tagging my post! I was totally clueless as to what to tag it, but 'music' makes perfect sense! :D

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Yes, sometimes that's what happens--there's no tag that exists for the post that has been made, so I will have to tag them. So now you have a tag for stuff like that!^^/

[kimitora.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm sorry for asking a possibly stupid question, but I'm not sure how to take the comm off my watch list which still being a part of it? I've yet to completely reacquaint myself with all the tools in LJ again, and I was kinda afraid of accidentally de-membering myself from this comm....

Would it be alright to ask for help on this?
