I am glad that images and photomanips are going to be allowed, I really am. Some of them are quite good and funny. Some of them are complete crap. Still more are completely inappropriate for this forum even though David has give the topic an okay. Do you hear that, people? Post your funny and amusing manips. Do not, for the love of all that is holy, post slash or het manips. Sure, I’ll let the vaguely slashy/het ones slide, but oh my god keep it in the proper fan-related sites/communities! There are a million of them.

It seems to me that a lot of the newer fandom participants are lacking any sort of proper internet etiquette that I remember people having when I started in online fandom in 1998. You didn’t just run off at the mouth or post things that would embarass you or the subject you were speaking of. If you did, you were publically embarassed and never did it again.
