Since it's come to my attention that certain communities have been purposely posting troll secrets for the lulz, I'm going to start getting harsher on what counts as a non-troll secret, especially regarding the fandom involved.

ETA2: No, this isn't only SPN fandom. This goes for everyone else, too.

Just a heads up.

And apologies in advance if any real secret posters get caught up in this.

I think what most people are upset about is that you blatantly called out capslock_spn as trolls. Without much proof other than a F!S tag, which you would've seen is merely a discussion tag for the secrets for Spn. As ashe_frost mentioned, 99.9% of the time if there is a specific secret that screams CAPSLOCK then they try to find out whether or not someone from capslock_spn really did make the secret.

I'm not going to say that there hasn't been trolling secrets, and I'm not going to say that it didn't come from the Supernatural, because there are definitely batshit Spn fen. But you have to understand why people are rightfully upset that you call out a specific group of people. Which you did, whether you meant other fandoms are going to be treated the same or not.

I don't know -- from what I heard, and this is from people in that community, they were the ones responsible for MOST of the trolling secrets to date. And I'm not saying that the WHOLE community is responsible, either. Though this whole 3-odd pages of comments since I stopped responding isn't really helping their image.

But don't worry, then, all fandoms are going to be treated equally. If you want me to apologize for my wording, sure, okay. I'm sorry. Not for getting harsher on troll secrets, though.

I'm sure the capslock mods would love to know who told you that. It would help if you edited your post to show that capslock_spn isn't the only one you're hatin' on.

Sure, will do.

FWIW, this is what the comment pages to every capslock_spn post EVER look like. It's (mostly) not a reaction to this post in particular, I think. It's more like the comm giving the public a taste of the glee and depravity that is the norm over there, lol threads and illiteracy jokes included.
