Me again!

We've had really bad snow in England and due to being snowed in for pretty much the last week, I decided to give the rules post a go. Here's what I came up with, any comments or suggestions? Any rules you think it would be better to change?

If everyone approves I'll get this and the new FAQ post I did posted on the comm, I figured with the influx of new members we've had recently it was about time to get these things fixed!


( New rules post? )

 

Hello fellow mods!!

It's come to my attention that the new FAQ post I made ageeees ago (like a year ago) never actually got posted to the comm (this is my bad - I could swear I posted it but I can't find it so I clearly never actually did). If everyone is happy with it I'll go ahead and get it posted though.

In relation to that, Keina, did you manage to get a new rules post written? If not and you don't think you can do it/you're not active right now, I could help out with that?

The other thing I was going to do was tidy up the tags, what did you guys think of my suggestion in the original mod email? Here it is since it was so long ago:

I have a few ideas about tidying up the tags too. Since there's a lot of different categories for downloads we could streamline them a little, maybe to just have - downloads: audio, downloads: video (subbed), downloads: video (raw), downloads: scans, downloads: other. Then we could have separate categories for the audio, video and scans for example - audio: official release, audio: radio, audio: other, video: PV/Making, video: concert, video: drama/movie, video: variety show, video: music show, video: other, scans: magazine, scans: photo, scans: calendar/photobook, scans: other. As you say it might mean comm members will need to search by two tags to find something specific, but it'd be a lot easier if say they're just looking for anything subbed and it'll mean a lot less tags to confuse people with. We could always put a note in the sidebar directly above the tags list with how to search by multiple tags as well as having it in the FAQ.


How is everyone else doing? I know aquacraze is still active from all the updates on the comm and I can see Emiichan is still working on the moderation queue, is everyone else still here? ^_^

Hi guys, I've finished putting together the new FAQ posts, I'll post it here so you guys can check it out and give me any feedback on it! Just a few notes before I get to to it - the comms/journals at the end of the post will be proper links when I post it on LJ, some of them were already on the FAQ post but others I've added myself and I'll contact them to check it's OK to link to them before posting. Also, the main thing from the old FAQs that I haven't included is the list of country specific comms, only a few have actually been active in like the past 5 years so I wasn't sure if it was worth linking to them...what do you guys think? If you think it's a good idea, I think it'd be better to have it as a separate post and link to that from the FAQs than have it cluttering up the FAQs with even more comm links. Thoughts? And onto the post:

To make the FAQs a little easier to read I have reorganised all of the relevant FAQs into the following catagories

 

Using Livejournal: Click the link for the corresponding page in the LJ FAQs

• Join the community
• How do I add XX to my post – picture, videos, LJ cut
• Edit post
• search by more than one tag

About the community:

• My post disappeared – It’s likely that your post was breaking one or more of the community rules and was deleted. Where reasonable we will contact you to edit the post before deleting it, if it is not edited we will delete it and, if possible, contact to let you know why
• I sent a private message to one of the mods but haven’t received a reply – Please check that you have your private messaging security set to Registered Users (go to the Edit Profile page, scroll down to Contact Info and check LJ User Messaging) or we can’t send you a reply!
• Can content related to NYC be posted? Yes, provided that the content isn’t related to Yuma only

About HSJ:

• Where can I find details of HSJ’s scheduled appearances on TV and in Magazines? The most up to date source is the media page at Johnny’s Net
• Where can I find member profiles and CD/DVD discographies? You can find all of these by scrolling through our profile page as well as on the corresponding pages at Johnny’s Net
• Can I send fanmail to HSJ? Yes you can, but I’d recommend sending letters/postcards only, I have heard that gifts and packages are not accepted and will either be returned to you or thrown away. Fanmail should be sent to Johnny's Family club at this address:

Johnny's Family Club
(Group's name) (Artist's name)
Miyamasu Tower B1F
1-10-10 Shibuya, Shibuyaku
Tokyo, Japan 〒150-8550

• Do HSJ have any official blogs or social media pages? The ONLY official HSJ blog is JUMPaper which is accessible through Johnny’s web. Please don’t be fooled by fake facebook pages or twitter accounts or any other social media site. Please note that personal information such as HSJ’s Mail addresses, phone numbers and addresses are PRIVATE and are not known by the public. Ryutaro, as he is no longer with Johnny’s, does have a twitter account, a line blog and a youtube channel
• Where can I buy official HSJ merchandise? There are often fans selling their old HSJ items in the Monthly Sales Posts or you can check the following places:
  
  • Concert goods – these can only be bought at the concert venue. If you can’t attend the concert but want the goods then keep an eye out for Pre-order master posts if anyone attending is willing to buy for others
  • CDs/DVDs/Magazines – In shops in Japan or online - some good sites for international buyers are: YesAsia, CDJapan and Amazon Japan
  • Shop Photos - There are four official Johnny’s Shops in Japan, the addresses can be found here, there are also a number of shops in Japan that sometimes stock unofficial photos or paparazzi shots.
• How can I watch HSJ shows and listen to HSJ on the radio live? There’s a great guide to streaming Japanese TV and Radio here. You could also try checking youtube/twitter for live streams as shows are airing but these aren’t guaranteed.
• How do I get tickets to HSJ’s live shows?
  • Through the fanclub - If you have a Japanese address (or a very kind friend with a Japanese address) you can join the fanclub and ballot for tickets. This is the best bet to get decent tickets at a decent price
  • Through Ticket Agencies – other tickets might be sold in Japan through ticket selling agencies but these are usually limited and often only available via phone. If tickets are being sold this way, the participating agencies are listed on the Johnny’s Net concert page (go here and click on the tour you want to attend, after the list of dates there will be a button saying ‘ticket agencies’ if these tickets are available)
  • Scalpers/Auctions - You can find scalpers at concert venues and find online auctions (such as Japan Auction Centre) where tickets can be bought but these are usually VERY expensive. This kind of resale of tickets is prohibited by Johnnys and is sometimes enforced by ID checks at the venues
• Where/when did HSJ perform XX? If you’re looking for a particular performance or the name/air date of a show etc, the best thing to do is ask in the request/question masterpost

General how do I:

• rip mp3s from videos/change video format/make GIFs from videos – the easiest way to do this is to use this website
• join split files – you need HJ-Split to join split files (files where you download the parts in the form file.001, file.002 etc)
• make wallpapers/icons/banners etc. - you will need some kind of image editing software (I recommend GIMP because it has a lot of the same tools as photoshop but it’s completely free) and a little creativity

Where can I find: You can always check the community tags for videos, scans, translations etc, but there are various communities dedicated to specific things that you could try:

• TV/variety/music shows -
