ENROLLMENT IS CLOSED

If you are not in the list that I posted a few days ago, have not been approved for posting at fandomhigh directly by principalconnor you DO NOT belong here and will be forcibly removed. Enrollment is closed at this time and unless you are an approved player, you may not post in the various fandomhigh communities or in the individual player journals. Period. Full stop.

There have been several instances of people who do not belong to this game reported to me. Unless and until enrollment is opened again and your character is personally approved by principalconnor, you may not post here. Period. In light of attracting people who have not read the rules and are showing up with duplicates of existing characters, something which is also strictly against the rules, I am also closing fandomtownies to membership until principalconnor gets back.

Only principalconnor can approve new students.

jerusalem_s is the right hand of God here, people, and what he says goes.

No one, and I mean NO ONE else is authorized to do anything when it comes to student/teacher/townie permissions.

This may eventually change but, as of right now, it's just the two of us... and I know damn well she hasn't approved anyone except our new webmaster in quite some time.

If this persists, everyone here should have these people friended and we will allow 'friends only' posts until the intruders desist.

Please be polite, but inform non-members that they cannot play here without first waiting for open enrollment and then being approved directly by principalconnor.

Thank you.

I'm doing my best, too, to help keep things in order.

Everyone who's been running stuff comes from different RP backgrounds. I have most of my playing experience from Milliways and modding from various small games, and we've not meshed, and stuff.

I'm also only the sideline admin.

But I'm happy to relay stuff, if you don't want to talk to other mods directly.

*nods* Different RP backgrounds can be important too. Most of my experience is actually coming from sages_of_choas which is chaotic and very lose as long as you don't do stupid things. (Yay for a no-violence field.)

*nods* This is actually my first LJ RPG, and all my previous experience is either MUD-based, or D&D-style roleplaying, so I'm used to having a lot of structure in terms of what you can or can't do.

(Which is not to say that my old college D&D group did not get into some seriously insane situations, because OMG. I have stories.)

I suspect some of it is also fandom vs fandom too. What's light and fluffy and normal in, say, BTVS/AtS is probably not going to be considered light and fluffy in a non-horror fandom.

That's a very kind offer for you to make but I really must warn people away from this option unless there is no other way. Nothing loses credibility more than for only one person to go to a mod and say 'some people are having problems and they are afraid to come forward'. Staying anonymous and letting someone else take your case to a moderator or an administrator takes away from the strength and the energy of your argument.

Especially if the moderator finds out who had the problems. goes back to the people who didn't take it to them to begin with and the people downplay the problems. That leaves the middle man looking like a shit stirrer.

If people have a problem, both moderators have an email and they are really good about responding and addressing concerns one on one. It is highly recommended if you want to be heard, you take your complaints/issues/problems yourself and not use a mediator unless there is no other alternative.

That's the fastest way to give someone an ulcer.
