Support & Games
It has come to my attention that a community on Scribbld is causing a lot of issue and I've actually suspended the account (but it's now unsuspended). Basically because we have no ToS people are pretty much free to write about and post about anything they want. Obviously that is a real issue but I've always said from day one, if you have to think twice about the content you're posting then don't post it at all. This continues to hold true and if you're submitting objectionable content, just don't. You'll probably end up getting banned or suspended.

I am not really sure what provokes people to post such mean and hateful content and as mentioned in a support ticket, I will definitely be closing this community in question if I get more complaints from users.

I personally think the community should be allowed to stay open but ONLY members of the community can participate in their little game. I believe that is what I will propose and if that rule is broken (via a user reporting it) I will close the community. I believe that is how I will handle it.

What I don't understand is why can't people just keep to themselves. Choose your friends wisely...

I will be speaking with a few other people today to get their opinions on the issue and from there we will decide on whether or not to keep the community open.

In other news....Keith came over last night and we hung out. I hooked him up with Aperture 2 and Cloverfield. makkintosshu also stopped over to drop off an Ethernet cable. we all hung out and chatted video games. As with every Tuesday night we'll be online playing Call of Duty 4 -- my gamertag is vtequine.

emilie made us a really good dinner last night, Shepards Pie. I loved it. Then we just hung out pretty much for the rest of the night.

I've also been working with Morgan and talking about a new project he's working on. More details to be revealed later :) it'll be neat though.

I finally got an S2 style I like except when I leave the comment page to be the style it looks horrid, I hate how none of the S2 stuff seems to indent or nest the comments. It's lame, but at least I like the layout...

I believe that's all I have to say for right now

	I hate that community I even made an entry about when Scribbld was quite new (it was a FO entry) The content that I've seen there in the past was vulgar. I hope you shut it down personally either that or it vastly improves.. I like your layout! :D (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 05:40 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah I am really considering shutting it down for good. It's absolutely ridiculous! I really don't see how it could improve. The whole point of it is to be as mean and dramatic as possible lol Thanks for the liking of my new layout :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shepard's Pie sounds good. Did emile have to make it from scratch or did she buy it pre-made? I like your new layout too. If you can get it working properly I may switch to it on my journal. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	From scratch, only way of doing it :)!!! Thanks for the liking of the new layout! It pretty much works properly for me, but I believe there's something in the Flexible Squares code that doesn't do nested comments so for now I leave it on the Scribbld page which works for me ^____^ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah I definitely don't want drama and pissed off users here, they can go somewhere else. Definitely not cool in my book. Thanks for liking the layout ^____^ The Shepards Pie was really goooood. I've never really had it before and I am not a fan of onions but she did a really good job and I love it :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I hate that said community. One post about a week ago was all stuff using personal pics of me that were locked and I had to argue with them to get them taken down. I'm probably not even gonna update scribbld till it is gone. Also I have a few other communities that I think shouldnt be here. Theres no reason for such hateful communities. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 06:14 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, it's pretty lame if you ask me, but I think we're coming to an agreement. What other communities are out there? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	grenades 2008-04-08 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry, but what gives you the right to tell people what to do in their free time? You partake in flamecup just as much as the next. Your comments are all over it. If you don't like it, don't look at it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	memorably 2008-04-08 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	freedom of speech? you're missing the fact that jimmy does'nt want to pay to host a bunch of shit posted by whiny over dramatic liars. He has every right to shut that stupid community if he chooses to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2008-04-08 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	You're right. People will make a new one regardless...so all of this kinda seems pointless, no? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 06:32 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly, so I've sent messages to the owners of the community and I insist that they may ONLY accept flames about users who have willingly joined their community. That way it stays open and people can still start as much drama as they so long as it's contained to the members within the community. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	snapple 2008-04-08 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	Honestly, who cares? I've gotten a ton of flames..but I'm not reporting the community because "I'm oh so hurt." This is the internet, and maybe if some people are taking it that seriously, they shouldn't be on scribbld to begin with. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	diaf 2008-04-08 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, but posting something from an f/o journal is already against flamecup's rules. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	Well I really need you and the other mod to make sure that you really stick to your rules. I understand that sometimes images aren't removed immediately, but you really need to do your best to get it removed. Thanks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	xo_tara_xo 2008-04-09 02:19 am UTC (link)
	I think it's awesome you posted in support of keeping flamecup considering all the flames directed toward you... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	xo_tara_xo 2008-04-09 02:21 am UTC (link)
	I'm gonna flamecup you for this jimmy... can I have a picture of your vag? no wait, that's not right. can I have a picture (from a f/o post) showing some nekkid part of your body? FLAME I MUST! (Reply to this)
