Can we do more things like this anonymous comment gig again? It's fun.

[case]

This is actually the 2nd anon meme that FS has had, so sure, there probably will be more in the future. And friending/fic-or-art request/rec memes, too.

[(Anonymous)]

Would secrets about Second Life be consider fandom?
I assume yes, considering Warcraft and other games are acceptable.

[case]

Yep

[toshi-hakari.livejournal.com]

Could we possibly make it a general rule that people have to mention the fandom the secret is about when they submit it anonymously? Yesterday's secrets hat a lot of the fandoms pinned to them and they also showed up in the comments/threads for the secrets. I'm asking this because it's easier to find the threads for the secrets I want to comment on again if the fandom is below the picture link. Otherwise I always have to write down the numbers or scroll back up after memorizing three of them and looking them up. It would make it a bit easier, in my opinion.

[case]

People have enough trouble with the rules as is, adding this one would be more work than it's worth ):

Why was http://i39.tinypic.com/9jjb76.jpg posted when http://i46.tinypic.com/25649rd.png was declared a not!secret?

[case]

Because the first one shouldn't have been

Hmmm. When I try to read post #1239, it tells me that I am not allowed to read this protected entry. But I can (and have) read the previous posts just fine. Is there something I should know?

[case]

working fine for everyone else

[lacommunarde.livejournal.com]

Hey, the scrollbar doesn't seem to be appearing when I load the fandom!secrets page for several days now, wheras it works normally on all other pages (including this one). Is there something I'm doing wrong or should be doing that I'm not to be able to use this helpful device to scroll down past the first secret?

[case]

No idea, haven't heard of anyone else having that problem

Can we PLEASE go back to having only 100 secrets a day?

Today I counted about 15 secrets that didn't load at all for me.

Before the change, usually the entire post loaded just fine so this is really bothering me that a lot of secrets won't load.

My computer is pretty fast too - so I can only imagine how long it now takes for older computers to load fandomsecrets entries.

If you could change it back to only 100 secrets per day (or just per entry) I'm sure many would appreciate it?

[case]

It is 100 secrets per day. The secrets start at 101 and end at 199.

I'm trying to submit a secret

[arcanallama.livejournal.com]

For #182 but I get the message that comments are disabled.

Re: I'm trying to submit a secret

[case]

If you read the post, it says it's full.

[(Anonymous)]

On the most recent subs post I think I may have accidentally submitted a couple of secrets in HTML format - i.e. directly embedded them instead of just pasting the links. Is that okay? I can resubmit them if it isn't.

[case]

That's fine!

[(Anonymous)]

Can I have a hug?

[case]

No but you can have a picture http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3631/cimg5338n.jpg

[(Anonymous)]

why are you linking your gpx crap on the secrets post?? Using your mod status is a pretty low way of getting views if you ask me!

[case]

Why not? Because I can.

Low why?

[(Anonymous)]

Hi, I know you've answered this question before in the daily posts, but I can't find it now...

There is no size limit on the images as long as they're 600x600 pixels or under, is that correct? I want to submit a secret that has a .gif in it, making the size just under 3 MB (pixels are like 400x200 or something) -- is that okay?

[case]

Sounds ok to me!

[(Anonymous)]

Have you ever had a sexual fetish for blowfish?

[case]

Can't say I have, no

[(Anonymous)]

Just out of curiosity.... what is your procedure for making the daily secret posts? How long does it take every day? How do you randomly select the submissions, and how do you make sure you don't pick one twice? When in the process do you determine if something is N!S, N!F, etc.? Is it easier for you if we hotlink the image in our submission posts (so you see the image), or if we just drop the URL to the image in our submission?

Thanks for all your hard work!

[case]

Uhhhhhhh open a notepad file with the basic frame html and fill in the links

30 minutes to an hour

pick a random page and pick random ones out of it, rinse repeat, delete comments as I go

read the secret?

images don't show up when you post them anon so either works

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a weirdo and accidentally posted something to lj-secret that was actually a fandom secret. Is it okay to post it here too?

[case]

HAHAH yeah, go ahead!

What counts as a "personal attack"?

[arcanallama.livejournal.com]

Because I've seen a couple of F!Ss here that do directly attack a certain person but just provide vague clues on that person's identity or use fanart of a snip of their fanfiction. Don't these count as personal attacks?

And what do you have to say to those who highly criticize F!S's very meaning and purpose or criticize it's content as "garbage"?

Re: What counts as a "personal attack"?

[case]

1) Question 6 on the FAQ.

2) "u mad"

[(Anonymous)]

are communities that are regularly featured on fandom_wank considered fandom? Stuff like stupid_free, wtf_inc, childfree?

[case]

yes

[cactus-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Uhh, can I ask a favor? If you can't do it, that's fine, I just wanted to ask.

Would it be possible to get Human Centipede secrets put under the 'trigger' section or under a link like the prony secrets? I only ask because seeing anything related to it makes me physically ill and lately I've been getting panic attacks from it.

Yeah, I'm a wimp.

Once again, if this isn't doable, that's okay :)

[case]

I put whatever's marked as triggery or spoilery into those sections -- if the OP doesn't put a warning on it, then no. (or I would have to start doing that for everybody's personal triggers, marked or not, common or not)

[(Anonymous)]

I made a secret and I believe it was submitted on the submissions post #190...? It dealt with an Inception fanart. Is it okay if I resubmit it since it didn't show up on the non-posted secrets listed on the bottom of every secrets post?

[case]

If you submitted it sometime last week, it was 191 -- if it was the week before that, it was 190.

And sure, go ahead!

[(Anonymous)]

Are kink memes (and their indexes) fair game for the fandom-related announcements thread?

[case]

Yep!

[de-throned.livejournal.com]

I was just wondering if the post date for submission #194 is correct. Since #193 is posted this week (Sept. 11) so shouldn't #194 be on the 18th?

[case]

Oops, didn't switch it when copy pasting /changes it

[(Anonymous)]

So many of these that get by and posted are bigger than the ones in the too big category, less a secret than the ones in the not a secret category, and less fandom than the not fandom category. Not to mention the obvious trolling that gets by.

Does it really have to do with guidelines or just favoritism. Because really, hypocrisy is showing.

[case]

If it's recent, it's tinypic the site messing up.

[case]

Deleting the secret as well, then.

-- on second thought, sorry. To be fair, I can't do that.

I just got this message when I went on tinypic from my location in Germany.

What does that mean for fandomsecrets? And I was thinking, since many secret posters use tinypic, whether it would be worth to make an announcement about it.

[case]

That's a good idea, thanks for the heads up.

[(Anonymous)]

Is "I cannot unsee it" considered a secret? I'm currently making such a secret, so just wanted to check if it would end up in the failbar.

[case]

Not unless you give a reason or something. "I can unsee it" doesn't really say anything and can apply to every visual thing ever
