Damian in Gympie
I may start seeing if my husband wants to open his gates in the evening again. He had been discouraged from doing so because apparently he's not allowed to be a member. Both he and I consider this journal to be both of ours, so it's not like other people who list their family or whatever..they aren't claiming those people read and take part in the community. I post for him, but he knows about it and has me do it. Sometimes the notes left under this id are from him. Anyway, yes, I have said he's afk a lot when people visit and this is a reason I was given for why he can't be a member (another reason was that he's not incredibly social..k)...even though some people I know on here are always afk when I visit. I love that extra characters can be 'members' and my husband can't. Apparently he'd have to join as another journal? Okay then. I'm not really sure who'd mind if he was listed as a member other than the person who told me he can't be one. I haven't even seen half the 'members' post here. Err..okay, I guess I'm done with the rant now.

So save his info if you want and tell us if you want him to add you. You can always find his info on our user info page as well. But not on the member page here anymore, as I mentioned.

His town info and visiting rules.

Okay, first of all, let's dial down the drama a bit. It's just the internets.

You seem to have a problem with the "one town per account" policy. The reason that it's this way is to reduce confusion: we have 183 members. If they all wanted to list their towns, their spouses' towns, their room-mates' towns... it would be a mess. We have to draw the line somewhere.

Now that I've explained OUR reasoning, perhaps you can clarify something for me. I'm having trouble understanding why this is such an issue, since Live Journal accounts are FREE. If your husband wants to be listed so badly, why wouldn't he just sign up for his own username?

K..that was never a rule before. If it's listed now, it's only after the discussion I had with the other mod.

He has his own account. He doesn't use it. It's inconvenient for us and silly to require that he use a different account...especially since he has me post for him often.

Yes, it's just the internet and often people on the internet suck. I still reserve the right to my opinion and voicing it.

I don't believe it reduces any confusion because I don't know who most the people on the list are. My husband looks at and uses this community more than a lot of them do. Also, there's no confusion whatsoever if anyone did get confused whatsoever, because the info page clearly states it's both of our journal.

We think it's ridiculous and we have a right to say so. If you want to call it drama, that's your problem. The drama started when we were told he couldn't be part of the community. There was no reason for that. It almost made us leave the community, and if you're so hell-bent on being this way, it might as well be well-known.

Anyway, whatev. Didn't expect anyone to change their mind. I have been done discussing this for a reason...there's simply no getting through to some people. I decided to stay because I don't want to allow one or two people to ruin something for me. However, this game won't be popular in very long and then you can see where being elitist and rude will get you.

For the record, since you want it to be "well-known", nobody ever said that he couldn't be a part of the community. We said that we were only adding one town per Live Journal account.

I don't believe it reduces any confusion because I don't know who most the people on the list are.

So you want to add MORE people to the list? And if we add *your* husband/roomate/friend, we have to add anyone else who wants that. Do you honestly not see why that's a problem? Not only does it make for a long, unweildy list, but part of the point of this community is that we check people out when they join, believe them to be over 21, etcetera. If we start adding people from "the outside", a lot of our members would have problems with THAT.

And yes, you have a right to voice your opinion. You even have the right to say "whatev" and tell us that you're done discussing this... repeatedly. But I have the right to have a drama-free community, so know this: we really ARE done discussing this now, and any other comments or posts on the subject will be ignored and/or deleted. You have made your point, and I have made mine, and anything further on the subject would be redundant and tedious.
