Re: Unpopular Yuletide Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

I agree that the Yuletide mods take things WAY too seriously. And I suppose a certain amount of strictness is necessary in an exchange that big if you actually want to keep it a small fandom exchange, but they overdo it by far. The hairsplitting about RPF, the convoluted evidence posts for fandoms that were accepted repeatedly year after year (and yet every year you have to post the same damn explanation that yes, your sub-fandom is still separate from this related fandom, for the exact same reasons I told you last year), the occasional pettiness about rejecting things ... It's all so unnecessarily complicated and absolutely nobody benefits from it, except, I guess, the mods who get off on complicated rules lawyering.

ITA with every single point you make, coalie. *loud applause*

I'd love to know if it's all of the mod team, or just part of it, who "get off on [Yuletide's] complicated rules lawyering" (as you have so beautifully put it).
