Vox n' stuff
Jul. 3rd, 2006 03:12 amSo I got an invite for Vox. I really don't know what the deal is or even if I'll use it. It might go the way of my MySpace (read: never use it EVER) or, if there's a mass exodus from LJ, I may jump right on board like a sheep.
The whole concept is a little murky to me, especially with the needing invites to GET a Vox account and then ANOTHER invite to even post in the damn thing. Does anyone know if you HAVE to get invited to post or if you eventually get an invite anyway or what?
In other matters- Supernatural spoilers are afoot. I am going to try my very, very best this viewing season and remain as spoiler free as humanly possible. I have resisted thus far and I'd like to keep it this way. This is my plea to you:
Please be aware of what you're posting. I'm not going to threaten to defriend someone who posts spoilers uncut or whatever (mostly because I have faith that 99.8% of the people I have friended are smarter and value their lives more than that because some other people on my flist are MAD serious about being spoiler free) but I will likely move you to default and that's the first step in being defriended for me. Once I take you off default I don't read you and eventually cut you because I don't know you.
It's obvious that big things need to be cut and clearly labeled (which, to this point, I have seen and appreciated. Even though my fingers were twitching on the mouse to click the cuts the whole time...) but I think people forget about reactions/mood themes/cryptic statements sometimes. I'm on your flist which means I more than likely read you on a more-or-less daily basis. I know your likes and dislikes in a fandom. I know who you ship, who you hate, what you want to see, what you would rather die than see.
Posting things like "Spoiler reactions under the cut!" is cool but when your mood theme is set to excited or sad or distraught or WHATEVER, it can give me an idea of what you just read/posted about. Reactions outside of the cut, even if you think they're vague can also be just as spoilery. Saying something like- "I won't speak of the spoilers except to say, 'I knew it'." or something to that effect tells me A LOT and more than I want to know.
I'm not going to stomp my foot and demand that people post a certain way or leave things out of their posts, I'd just like everyone to be aware of what they're putting in their posts, especially outside of cuts. I won't be pissed off if I'm spoiled or hate you but I'll probably be disappointed or more, depending on what I've learned. It's hard enough doing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spnnewsletter with spoilers afloat, let alone trying to dodge things on my flist so like everyone else, I'd just like to make it as easy as possible. :)
Less than two weeks till my birthday!
