Secret 4 - Yuletide

[personal profile] transcriptanon 2013-09-11 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Picture is a post one Bridget McKennitt (username "bridgetmc"?) posted on the LiveJournal community "yuletide_admin". It says:

Yuletide 2013

Due to overwhelming response, we are reconsidering our options along with the 2+ nomation rule and there will be changes. This post is currently locked to future comments and we will update the comm with new details.

Welcome to another exciting year of Yuletide, the 2013 edition! As you might have seen from elynross's post, elyn is stepping back this year while hhertzof, jenn_calaelen, and myself are stepping in to help astolat.

[Schedule of events half-covered by text from the secret.]

Nominations

Nominations will run almost the same as they did last year ([link to a Nominations tutorial]), with some new changes. This year, the amount of fandoms you can nominate is 4 instead of 3. [Text highlighted by the secret maker] We are also trying out an experiment in which fandom nominations will only be approved if 2 or more people nominate them. [End highlighted text] This is to control the tag list bloat that happens every year and strains both the archive and signups (which no one, outside or inside of Yuletide, wants). It also gives us a tentative positive sign that there are at least two people who want to request or offer said fandom.

Reviewing and approval/rejection of nominations will be done after the nominations period during cleanup week.]

Text from the secret:

This post made me hate the new moderators. Especially the "Oh no, people are disagreeing with us! Let's freeze the thread!" cowardice.

Even if they get rid of the rule, I will never ever trust them again. They have no business even participating in Yuletide, much less running it!
