Aw Haddrel, now you got the taste how it was to maintain a pairing FC as big as IRFC. It surprise me that the mods didn't jump in the instant Orihime's name is mentioned in the thread, isn't that like the biggest taboo in BA? Well the bright side is at least you won't get your post deleted and then get warned by mods like we used to be. It is very unfortunate that your supposed partners didn't provide you enough supports, thankfully in my days all the other owners are dependable. Teamwork is pivotal, no matter what the situation between us when it comes to maintaining the FC Syn, Annie, Nav and me support each other, communication and friendship means everything and most importantly their love towards the pairing plays a very important part also. If I remember correctly half of the current owners now are also part-time IchiOris no?

And while I can understand new comers who weren't familiar with the forum rules to once or twice slipped into "one liners" or "spamming/chatting/OOC" category, I could never tolerate stealing. Isn't crediting sources for taking what you didn't make / found by yourself is a common courtesy practiced even in real life? Why just because it's the internet things must be different? That is the reason why I can't tolerate even new comers to steal things without crediting because it is a common sense

Speaking of tumblr, Annie and Syn hated the place with passion because there is the main place where uncredited things and arts go haywire, but you see even in nasty places like tumblr YOU STILL CAN CREDIT. Seriously no matter what the media is if people are honestly respecting their sources they will put the credit. And whenever the artists specifically said "this is a personal gift please don't use" why there are people who can't just respect that? IDEK

I think there are people who don't realize the gravity of the situation when we asked to please PLEASE do not spread what we got and simply accuses us as fame whores / BNF / whatnot. Seriously, none of us care about that, we just want to respect and protect our sources. Most of the time when we got goodies especially from Japanese friends who got them early we are personally asked by them to please keep it so it won't spread because it would endanger them, early means illegal and I don't have to explain that further do I?

Seriously what is the harm for people to just simply link their friends to the original place of the goods so they can read it for themselves instead of reposting it without credit at god knows where? Unless they want people to flock to their place instead of here ..... and they accused us as the fame whores? \(.___.  )

Another problem are some of the newcomers. I see this in BA all the time: Some newcomers don`t familiarize themselves enough with the rules of conduct and start posting.

oh trust me you don't have to explain this to us. I ran an fc once before so I know very well how new members rarely read the rules. At least you didn't get them crying calling you names :lmao

For my taste there was really too much Orihime in the IchiRuki FC in BA but the mods don`t say anything and when I sent a message to the three owners as co-owner I didn`t hear anything back. OK, if they are fine with it I keep out of it.

I never go back to BA since what had happened. But I'm surprise you didn't see this coming given half of members and owners are IchiOri (from what I saw from Ran's screencap two months ago). But like Nacchan said, at least you can happily post about Orihime without getting mods delete your posts then warn you the way we got. You should be happy it seems like your fc is living up to the new demand demodded mod asked of you guys: be friends with ichioris just like how Rukia and Orihime are friends.  So it's logical Orihime is mentioned in IchiRuki FC, right?

I suggest, to cut down unwanted distribution because of ignorance you could have an eye catching introduction text that immediately draws attention to anybody who opens this place. “Are you new here? Welcome! Before you read and post, please observe the following rules and guidelines.” (Just a suggestion)

Trust me, we can shove the rules to their faces and if they want to be ignorant, they WILL be ignorant. It's a good suggestion. But it's the one we know hardly works.

For repeat offenders, maybe naming and shaming is a good idea, too. Especially if the offender really should have known better

It can cause necessary drama. But seems like this is a popular idea  :lmao I will keep that in mind.

If I might point out one downside to this, locking the forum will cease exposure of this forum to a lot of lurkers out there (the good ones, mind you) who want to follow the developments and posts. You might lose these fans halfway. But I guess if the fandom is really important to them, they will find a way... and register.  It's not hard and it's a wonderful community here so it should be fine.

We are well aware of this. I said it before we didn't want to lock it down because we wanted lurkers to be able to read the posts and decide for themselves whether they want to join us or not. It's a risky move since we know new comers are unlikely to register into a forum without knowing how the forum runs and what the atmosphere is like.

Conclusive enough that she is practically everywhere in the fandom with her multi-face personality when it snows and rains, and breezes and storms through everything that anyone can write a weather report on her, while weaving a winter sweater in her own club.

Guilty. :'( (on BA)

When I read your post here, I realized you are actually talking about me. Sorry, Haddrell, although I read the rules before, I didn't realize it when I was responding to another person, who brought her up. It's actually a very rare thing for me to talk about Orihime. But I'm really far from being an IchiOri fan. Btw, it seems like it got deleted already. 

Edit.. Sorry Annie. :) And I'm sorry you guys had to lock DB. I hope, that new IchiRuki fans who'll find DB won't be intimidated by a locked-to-members-only forum and won't hesitate to join.

Since they were concerns how new comers who happen to stumble onto this site will be at lost how DB runs. Here are two sample threads for those who wish to know:

IchiRuki FC v.1 page 35-50. This is how our FC runs. Along with goodies (such as interviews, novels, latest news) which will be post whenever they are avalibale

Spoiler thread: we picked ch 488 one as sample for you guys to see

I honestly don't think this will keep people from registering and posting stuff elsewhere. It's just impossible, unless you want to introduce an invitation system, but in that case you definitely keep people without any connections in the fandom from joining at all. And even if you were to use such a system, you will never be able to prevent anything from getting posted elsewhere.

How many time must we say that. We. Are. Aware. Of. This.

At least people can't say they don't know now. That's the whole point. Can we move on now?
