Special Thanks: to the original poster. Without peoples contribution, so much would be lost for fans, future or present, so it's nice when people share what they have.

*mod hat on again*

*vbg*

It doesn't matter if articles have been posted elsewhere on Lj, this is an archive with the goal of saving as many articles as possible in one place, in a way that they can be searched as far as possible and within the limitation of the way people saved them! The only time not to post is if the article has already been posted to this comm in a way that is readable, and ideally sourced for everyone to see.

You can check whether something has already been posted here via the source dates (if you have the date), or else it will hopefully have been tagged "date unknown".

And you don't have to feel pressured to use the mod hat label, not with me. YOU are the mod and even if you wouldn't be, help is always appreciated. What a world we would live in if I would get upset or annoyed with people who are just trying to guide me, especially in a group I'm not for long yet. Thanks again—help is always appreciated!

Thanks for clearing this up to me, but many of these articles I have come from other people sending these to me without sources so most of the time I don't have anything to search for. So if a repost happens I want people to tell me right away as it's just a mistake on my part.

It's possible they might be up there under "date unknown", so you could click on that tag to check.

To be honest though, the comm hasn't been going for long enough to have accrued huge numbers of articles anyway, so you're unlikely to be repeating! *g*

I've sent the whole today on creating a list of the posted articles in this comm. because LJ is very lame in this sense, and people sometimes didn't add the article's title to the post, so I think now I'm covered and hopefully won't accidentally repost anything.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Not quite sure what you mean in the first sentence - no, lj doesn't automatically create lists of things that have been added, but does any platform?! You can just scroll through the posts to see their titles, especially if you're set to eternal scrolling, but of course it depends whether people have given their posts a title and what that title is based on. As ever, garbage in = garbage out! You can also go to the archive/calendar page and see a list of posts by month, although that's more helpful when you're looking for something rather than trying to create a summary.

Lj's main means of organisation is by tag, and that's set up by the mod. In other comms I've set up tags to be something like "title - et in italia ego", "author - sebastian", but in this comm I set them up by year-month and then the focus of the article.

Oh, I'm sorry! What I meant was that I went over the posts and wrote down the titles of articles so now I have a list of what articles have been posted here.

Unfortunately tag search doesn't help. While most articles have a title but I don't know most of the dates of the articles and other items that were shared with me. So that's why I made a list.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hee — it was the other bit of the sentence I wasn't sure about! You seemed to say that lj was lame because it didn't create lists of articles/posts when you post them? But I don't know any platform that does that automatically, so I wasn't sure why that made lj lame!!

And yeah, I didn't add titles as tags at this comm — you'd end up with a huuuuuge list of tags! But that means you can't search by them, sorry!

Mods can make sticky posts for comms now, I think, which would be good for indexes etc. (I did that over at ci5hq with the FAQ post, I think it was) but only the person posting can edit the list, and I have so many things I'm trying to keep up with (Pros-wise, OFMD-wise, and life-wise!) that I just can't add another one like that...

[lugiadepression.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the confusing reply: what I meant by all of it that 1: people don't type down the title of the articles in the post, and 2: LJ doesn't have a functioning search, or at least it doesn't work right for me. In our place every article that's posted must include the title (because all articles has that) so we can just type the title in the search bar to see if the piece was posted. It's not possible here because people don't add the title and many times the piece is so blurry it's not even readable.

I just made this list like a notepad, so I can try to avoid reposting. It's not that you have to do anything, I didn't mean that.

I don't think I've seen this before e.g. I didn't know about Lewis being knifed in the face. Many thanks for your posts.

The post were shared by fellow fans, I'm merely sharing it here too. A discord community member pointed the scar out, and it was a big hit to finally find out the story behind it.
