Accidental deletion of Bad Roamnce meme as it seemed similar to taboo meme - as timestamp indicated it was posted Saturday rather than Sunday. (I did not math right)

Have contacted poster about this so they can repost should they want. In case anyone sees it go up again and had questions.

Always Come Back Meme

[1800]

Deleted because the previous one was posted on March 20.

this is ink/stella/maric/etc. who is mentally unstable and banned essentially everywhere on dw for a number of things. i'm not sure if you guys have her banned, but this is also her and there are people constantly recording her accounts but this is the only one i know.

[1800]

I'll ask if thelongcon knows more of this than me.

Helping Hand meme

[1800]

Not much different from Nursed Back to Heath posted just yesterday. I'm letting it be this time, but I would advice against posting them so close to each other again.

Teenage Romance Meme

[1800]

Taken down. Too similar to High School meme on the 26th, but can be posted next week.

[(Anonymous)]

a secret agent meme (https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6321001.html) just went up, while there is a generic spy meme (https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6308945.html) from under a week ago on page 2. seems too similar?

Aged Down meme

[1800]

Taken down since there is a Childhood meme with the option of aging down a character.

Can be posted next week.

https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6336557.html?thread=2775891501#cmt2775891501 this character is too young for this meme....

[(Anonymous)]

i really hate disagreeing with you, but they're not. it's not an age-centric meme and they're not stating the age. they're also not using the younger icons from them. i'm personally not cool with most of their chars since the tw actor was also underage for most of his icons (asa is currently 23, so in 2012 he'dve been 15, but i don't see any actual 15 year old merlin icons. the player seems to like the twink characters, so most of their chars likely skirt the edge and they aren't clear about how old they are, and when all their chars are m/m and most of them have been m/f (if any stated preference in canon at all), they seem to have a kink. if you ban this char, you have to ban them all. and this seems like just more pointing the finger at this particular musedumper. yes, it's annoying, but you can literally just scroll on, not tag, and the icons aren't nsfw or problematic. asa looks younger than he is. (currently playing a high school student in sex ed).

just ignore it, anon. like most of us do. they're not breaking rules (not like that weirdo putting up an actual 6 year old la pb for a character in sex memes).

Wrt this week's mid fuck meme

[sokye]

Is the two-week rule no longer in place?

Re: Wrt this week's mid fuck meme

[1800]

It is, of course. People are just not paying attention or deliberately going against rules. Thelongcon has messaged the person posting the second meme. They could have taken it down then if they'd chosen to.

I can see there's not a great deal of play yet, and I could delete it now, but I would prefer to just assign a longer period before the next Mid-Fuck meme an be posted. Three weeks or month.

so is this

The Suddenly!Parent Meme

[1800]

Taken down. There is an Aged Down meme posted on April 11, and even that was by a special permission because it was originally posted on the 4th and then too close to the Childhood meme.

Re: The Suddenly!Parent Meme

[thesockhop]

I would argue that the concept of the memes is significantly different, but I appreciate the clarification! In future I'll make sure to post it well after any aged down/childhood memes
Thank you

Two Truths and a Lie meme April 20

[1800]

I'm messaging the poster of this meme, since there is a Truth meme already (April 19).

Re: Two Truths and a Lie meme April 20

[thelongcon]

Two truths and a lie is specifically a party game where people list three facts and others have to guess which is the lie. I can't recall if that was an option available in the truth meme

[(Anonymous)]

not entirely sure about why the love letters + shippy texts meme is being allowed to be posted on the same day as the sexting/phone sex meme. aside from similar concepts, it's another texting meme that isn't exactly necessary.

[thelongcon]

I know that there was an exception made during Valentine's day as a holiday-topical meme, I think it's been cropping up every few weeks or so...

I'm running some ideas past the other mods as probably solutions to this happening again, and will share pending feedback

[justformemes]

I forgot you guys are quicker to answer here than where I originally posted it.

https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/3344715.html?thread=2800927819#cmt2800927819

[1800]

I might be too tired to give it proper thought but go ahead and post it. It's nice of you to ask and if it's been a month since the last, then at least there's been a decent gap.

Deserted Island Getaway meme May 3rd (https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6389649.html)

Stuck On a deserted Island meme on April 27th (https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6377247.html)

I don't remember seeing this Getaway meme before and it has different type of premise and prompts. I'm letting it be although the overall theme is the same and it's unnecessarily close to the other one.

[thelongcon]

It's based off the animal crossing game that came out, which rang a few bells.

See this meme from Apr 24, which based off the same premise. It seems that the new one worked a bit better? Though it would also be too early, in a sense: https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6371040.html

Hi Mods,

There is a 10/11 year old character in the Kink Meme here:

https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6393754.html?thread=2807059610#cmt2807059610

I thought you should be made aware.

[1800]

I froze the thread for now and will message the player.

There's a broad incest meme posted on the 4th

[thelongcon]

Thank you, will message the poster and delete second post

[(Anonymous)]

Would it be okay to post in a "here's a great setting... NOW PLAY SMUT IN IT!" meme with a "I like this setting but I don't wanna play smut so let's ignore the smut part and just play gen in the setting" post? Like the setting/premise works/could stand on its own without the smut.

(Same for shipping, really, like for example there's a "Werewolf AU Shipping Meme", would it be okay to just play that as "Werewolf AU Meme"? Again, only for memes that don't need shipping/smut for their premises, like there's no room to play gen stuff on an incest meme.)

I know people will bitch about me behind my back if I do this, but are the mods okay with it?

[thelongcon]

I personally don't, but I don't know how successful you'll be in terms of others tagging in.

[(Anonymous)]

Would it be possible to strike the line "Males have penises; females have vaginas" from the A/B/O meme that gets posted semi-frequently? It's been in there since like 2013, and given it's under the category of "normal humans" it feels pretty tone deaf.

I'm asking here because the same form has been copied and reposted so many times, asking just the most recent poster might not do much.

[thelongcon]

That is a point, IDK which source of the meme people copy and paste from. DW won't let anyone but the original poster edit the body text in a post, so it may come down to asking each poster each time.

ETA: This would also apply to any other memes that gets reposted frequently from different sources.

[(Anonymous)]

the werewolf pack (au) romance meme has been posted a second time when the earlier one is still on the main page.

The first one (July 1st): https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6496164.html
The second (today): https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6500004.html

Thank you - I've taken down the newer meme, though I've let the poster know they could post in a week due to the differences in the two.

kissing: https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6644201.html (has a bunch of comments)

two whole posts later

makeouts: https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6644765.html (no comments)

[thelongcon]

Looks like the poster has already taken it down themselves.

This was taken care of in the alternate thread.

[(Anonymous)]

I know this was posted first https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6709049.html but as it has no prompts, please consider keeping the second meme up instead

[thelongcon]

I'm going to contact the first poster, and give them about two hours to respond re: editing in prompts for players before taking one of them down.

More likely it'll be the one with prompts that stays up in that case

[(Anonymous)]

https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6744551.html

The art used specifically states to not repost it. Please ask the poster to change it.

[thelongcon]

I will let them know
