Cinema Bizarre Rants

Single rant:

Post your rants here here. Comments are screened and anonymous posting is permitted.
Submissions are due just before secrets are posted.
Secrets should be posted around Saturday, January 2nd.
Refer to the profile if you’re not sure what is allowed.
“Regular” secrets go to cb_secrets, please. A rumor-themed submission post has been set up there as well.

This is specifically for those either ticked off by CT's latest antics with the wanton disclosure of information regarding their clientele's personal lives and resulting treatment of those that a certain CEO has deemed "not real fans" or annoyed by the fan reactions (the "un-follow ________" campaigns and such).

After all, if they (and a certain label-mate whose name I dare not speak for fear of starting a war) do it to Tokio Hotel (who can't be in the chats to vouch for themselves), how long before they start digging around in the personal lives of Cinema Bizarre (one member of which has actually, quite politely, asked fans to stop prying into certain personal matters)?

And if you've had any other problems with the company, we welcome you to post your complaints.

So let's get to it:

Post your rants here. All comments will be screened. Only taintedmango and I can see them.
Anonymous posting is currently disabled, but for the purpose of this post and this post only, it will be enabled as soon as I get around to it. It may then be left on. (Your identity will not be revealed unless you chose to reveal it either way.)
Submissions are due when we have at least five rants (you'll know).
Text-form rants will be formatted into simple images. They will be posted the following day.
As with the first submissions post, we will set a regular date when we are sure that we can get at least five rants per batch.
Refer to the profile and/or ask if you're not sure what's allowed.

I've taken on a co-mod. taintedmango, in fact, especially seeing that we'd be the ones to pass each other on the street and probably stop and tackle each other because "OMGYOUAREEVERYWHERE!" But she also runs a CB fan club and forum of her own, so I have faith in her.

Anyway, start postin' rants, everyone. The wolves are hungry.

Submissions Post #1

Post all rants here. Comments are screened. Anonymous posting is disabled.

Text rants will be formatted and all rants posted the following day.
When we are sure that we can get five or more rants per batch, we will determine actual posting dates/days.
Refer to the profile and/or ask if you’re not sure what is allowed.

Cinema Bizarre Rants...kinda like Cinema Bizarre Secrets, only built to ‘contain’ the wank because, you see, apparently there are some things that the boys do that actually annoy some people (no, you’re not seeing things; I’m mocking you) and cause them to go about bashing them in their so-called secrets. These people seem to be afraid to tell them this, however, and that would be why these ‘secrets’ have been created. They’re more like complaints, really.

Rants.

That’s the idea of this community because a secret is a secret, a complaint is a complaint, and a rant is a rant, you see. Yes, damn it, I brought out some dictionary definitions.

I still can’t do anything about Strify’s ‘vanity’ or ‘constant’ mention of glitter (didn’t you notice, though? It’s in the new lyrics! The glitter will be everywhere!), but I can avert your eyes and any griping to this community with any luck.

A few rules and such, however, must be put into place (they may look familiar to some of you):

1. The place is practically for wank, but that doesn’t mean we must harass each other.
   • Submissions/comments deemed harassing will be deleted and the member either warned or banned depending upon the severity of the situation.
2. Don’t be a coward. If you intend to post anonymous, don’t post at all. Anonymous posting is off. This may be temporary; as soon as we know that there are no trolls about, you might get your anon rights back.
3. Rants can be submitted in text and/or traditional secret form.
4. If the rant is not safe for work, put ‘NSFW’ in the subject line of your submission. We will link to such content; everything goes under a cut anyway. Not sure about anyone else, but an inbox full of smut without warning isn’t something I’m looking forward to.
5. Fan rants must not contain the following: Personal information (locations, phone numbers, last names, email addresses, etc.); pictures/info taken from friends-locked entries in personal journals. Rants containing any of the above will not be posted and the member either warned or banned, depending on the severity of the situation.
6. Rants (picture form only) larger than 800x600 will be resized.
7. If your face is shown in a picture and you wish for this to be changed, we will blur it if you haven’t already.
8. If street numbers are visible in a rant, they will be blurred upon receipt.
9. Try not to murder each other.
10. Respect thy mod(s) even if you disagree with them.

Other:

1. Posting is for moderators only; members may comment, just like on a secrets community.
   • If posting is ever granted to members, it will be moderated.
2. IP tracking is on.
3. Anonymous commenting is disabled.
4. Membership is moderated.
   • Brand new and friendless journals are deemed suspicious and will not be granted membership. We’re avoiding trolls as much as possible, sorry.
