> A WILD MOD UPDATE HAS APPEARED



Hello everyone, [personal profile] mezzanotte here with a new mod account for this just dropping by a few updates. Firstly, I would like to thank you guys for being active and awesome. Can I just mouthbreathe all over you all and say that it is a little bit overwhelming how large the comm has grown. THANK YOU GUYS ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

01 ☞ Profile has been updated.

02 ☞ The sticky post on top is gone, and has been replaced by: A PROBLEMS OR CONCERNS POST. So if there's anything you feel the need to report do so here~

03 ☞ A bunch of people have been asking for a tagging system, so please tag everything after this post~ The tagging systems pretty simple, so please comment here if there are more tag requests.

04 ☞ If there are any memes you want to request or more you'd like seeing there is a post for that too.

05 ☞ Guys try not to post memes every hour! I don't want to police but let's not try to have more than 5 memes a day, please.

06 ☞ Memes without RNG are fine! A number of people have been commenting that they'd like to see more memes where people write something in the text field; so situational things (Example: Characters are now in the Jungle!) where only the scenario is discussed is fine.

07 ☞ Games: You are allowed to link TEST DRIVE memes to [community profile] bakerstreet. As long as no one makes GAME SPECIFIC (IE: Only members of the game/verse can post) MEMES, that should be fine.

08 ☞ Would anyone be interested in an OOC comm for Bakerstreet? As a way for people to just chill, talk about RP and just have discussions in general. I've been wanting to set something like this up. Just gonna use this post to gauge interest!

09 ☞ A WILD POLL might appear next week asking about what else you guys want to see in the comm, but feel free to toss in suggestions here until then. By this I mean, do you guys want to allow RP ads, more hmd memes, allow rp tutorials/resources here?

10 ☞ ALSO BECAUSE I AM GIMMICKY: HAVE A BAKERSTREET INSPIRED PLURK EMOTE:


ANYWAY, THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

I think an OOC comm is a pretty neat idea. I know sometimes there are posts thrown up here for suggestions/discussions of what people would like to see, but they can get buried under the traffic of the RP memes. Having a forum where that sort of thing is more likely to stay at the top of the page for a bit would be nice.

(And it may also be a good place for those expansions you mentioned, such as ads and tutorials.)

I don't see what's wrong with so many memes.

This is a lovely post, and thanks for making this comm so fun and welcoming! ♥

Totally grabbing that plurk emote, hurhur. :3

Keep up the great work!

I like the idea of a OOC comm! :) Like someone said above me, a lot of mingle/ooc type memes end up getting buried.

[personal profile] aintno_grave 2012-02-15 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Huzzah!

I think an OOC comm would be super! It'd be nice to be able to plan and map out plots. And I can get off topic real easily so it'll be great to have an already planned out outline/plan that I can stick to.

[Plus, it's always nice to get to know the person you're rping with :)]

this is awesome, thank you so much

♥ the ooc comm would be awesome!!

and YES 5 memes a day (while hard to keep track of) is a good thing to encourage. so sad to see memes all getting very few comments!

That plurk emote is adorable!

An OOC comm sounds like a really great idea, though it makes me wonder: would OOC plotting memes and whatnot go there or would they continue to belong here? I could see it working either way, but I imagine it would be good to give folks some guidance on that point so they know what goes where.

Thanks for doing all of this and adapting so smoothly to becoming the new meme home for so many of us! <3

Because AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Specifically:

1. "Oh, there's a meme on my friend list. And another. And another? And more and more memes! Entire flist is memes! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

2a. "Oh! New meme! I think I'll tag a few characters that catch my attention. Oh! New meme! I think I'll tag a few characters that catch my attention. Oh! New meme! I think I'll tag a few characters that catch my attention. Oh! New meme! I think I'll tag a few characters that catch my attention. Oh! New meme! I think I'll tag a few characters that catch my attention. Oh! New meme! I think I'll tag a few characters that catch my attention. Oh my god I suddenly have twenty meme threads going on top of my game threads! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

2b. "I don't want to end up like the guy in 2a, so I'll just tag one or two memes to keep things under control. Ooh, there's a new Lawnmower Meme up, and a new Pepsi Throwback Meme, that one's always fun. Oh, but this Inbox Meme looks fun, too, and--oh my god it's an Optimus Prime meme I love Optimus Prime! But then what about the Ham and Cheese Meme and the Bus Meme and the Falling Down The Stairs Meme and the Bathe Her And Bring Her To Me Meme and the Tech Support Meme? Too many memes! I can't decide! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

An OOC community will be great.

You, good sir or ma'am, made me giggle. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" indeed.

Guys try not to post memes every hour! I don't want to police but let's not try to have more than 5 memes a day, please.

personally i don't care about having memes every hour but can people stop re-posting memes that were posted less than a week ago (i'm looking at you, TFLN and midfuck memes)

(Anonymous) 2012-02-16 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
This. It's really annoying to see a meme get reposted week after week. Maybe there should be a weekly digest like Memebells had?

I'm new here, but I really am loving this comm! However, the problem I am having seems to be one that a lot of people have mentioned: TOO. MANY. MEMES.

It's such a delightful distraction, and truthfully, I could tag like 10 of them a day. But then I get overwhelmed by it, and as a result, none of my meme stories get finished. Too many loose ends to tie up, and no conversation is ever 'complete' or gets anywhere fast. Hence, it's hard to make really good CR when things move this fast. I agree--no more than 4-5 memes per day---then it would be able to flesh them out more satisfactorily. And, most of us aren't able to tag all day long. So, there's just waaaay too much temptation here, LOL!!

But it's a good problem to have! :)

And YES, it would be brilliant if there were an OOC comm here as well. ;)

Keep up the good work guys! This community was really a lifesaver after LJ hit the floor. (Though I really do get behind on game tags because of this ahahahahaha)

Hehe, I love the plurk emote!

An OOC comm would be awesome.

Thank you for the great job you're doing with this comm!
