voted for the "not secrets" options

voted leave em both. i love those kind of secrets, especially the mishaland ones! <3

The Mishaland ones are the most annoying.

Meh, just leave them. It's not a big deal and less work for people to do just so someone doesn't have to scroll.

I really hate the ship/hit secrets, unless they're actually WORTH being secrets, but there are rarely any like that, so I said just ban them

false.

Seconded

I feel like, if you feel you have to keep your character and ship preferences secret, you're probably friends with the wrong kind of people.

I voted on both that they are not secrets unless there is more to it. Generally, those sort of comments are not secrets at all.

I think comms ones should go, but I'd hit it/ship it secrets are sometimes amusing, or you realize you're not the only one in the universe, so keep those.

Aw, come on! The I SHIP IT/I'D HIT IT secrets are my favorites! D:

I like the I'd hit it/ship it secrets! But if they're a common ship or a hottie, I'm not sure they're really "secrets".

Truth.

I say 'not secrets' unless they have an explanation as to why shipping it or hitting is a secret. But some "hit it" secrets can be self explanatory.

Voted not unless they have more than plain old "I'd hit it/I ship it, I love/hate this comm."

I feel a bit more strongly about community secrets than ship it/hit it secrets though.

Leave the "I ship it/Hit it" secrets out of principle. There are plenty of pairings/people where this isn't much of a secret but there are some pairings/people where this is a reasonable secret. (Young Stalin was a fox but admitting that you'd hit it, is shameful to the extreme because it's Stalin.)

And because you can't really draw the line between people/ships that are secret-worthy and those who aren't you have to keep both in order to keep the secret-worthy ones.

The comm secrets generate lots of wank which bring the lulz. And lulz are always good.

I think it's fine if there is a reason it's a secret. because sometimes it's like YEAH OKAY AND? SO WOULD I

I put "not secrets unless..." for both because half the time I think people are posting them just to get the comments, not because they actually keep them as secrets

I think there are a lot of poor secrets many people are tired of, but I don't think we should make it a practice to get rid of them. This community shouldn't be about hand selecting a few original secrets but letting everyone vent.

I don't mind them, to be honest, as long as there's some sort of justification provided. Even a small blurb along with the "I'd hit it/ship it" bit. That way, those of us who may be unfamiliar with the fandom/characters/whatever in question can better appreciate why such a thing should be a secret.

agreed.

Thirded.

I think the guy is funny. But please, we get it already. You love it there/feel intimidated by the awesome people. GETTING OLD NOW, KTHNX.

WELL I'M A HUSBAND SEXYFACE, LET'S GAY MARRY!

This community is about venting? Fuck, I thought it was all about my entertainment
