Contact-a-Mod

[tamingmods.livejournal.com]

Hello all,

I hope everyone had a fantastic day.

We're introducing a new feature here to allow you to contact the Mods. It's difficult with having multiple mods to receive questions and answer them in a timely manor because we all do mod posts. So what we've done is created another, shadow mod.

Any comments on posts made by this shadow mod will be forwarded to all of us, so we can answer things more quickly.

We're also going to try to start doing mod posts with this user account as well, and post a link to this post on the sidebar so you can contact us easily.

It's a new system, so there's bound to be some bumps with it, but hopefully it will make things easier in the long run.

~Your tamingmods!

Okay, to revise my earlier reply, I think I've figured out how to post to the community, but what's ljcut? And how do I tag?

Lj cut is a way to hide most of the post. At the beginning (usual after the header) you put in <*lj-cut*> and at the end of the post <*/lj-cut*> (remove the *s). Now, if you post from the community page and post under the Rich Text format, there is a button for the ljcut right beside the 'insert table' button. (it looks like lines of text with a wavy line underneath)

As for the tags, at the bottom of the post page there's a section that says 'tags'. I'll set up your username so you'll go through, highlight your names and highlight the current prompt (ie, this week is prompt 263-haven(picture)). Each week you use your name tag and the corrosponding week prompt tag, it's how we keep track of how many posts you make.

Did that make sense? If you need more help, just ask

Okay, I got it. Is the cut required? This is a very short post, so it seems kind of a waste of bytes... ;D

We ask that people put them under cuts because it cuts down on the clutter. A lot of people are on dialup and it makes it easier on them. surprisingly, it's not a waste of bytes :D
