I've dealt with it, but please let me know if it escalates.
In light of some very good discussions on the off topic post (actually good exchange of ideas instead of sniping at each other, I promise, you can go look without being disappointed in us) a few people think it might be a good idea to institute more prompt freezes to shift the focus to filling, reading fills, and responding to fills rather than prompting.
It probably can't hurt. How long were you guys thinking? And do you want it now or can it wait until monday?

That prompt is over the limit by only 3 words, so I'm going to leave it.
Hi, I posted a prompt that's over 250 words but I can't seem to keep it within 250 not without deleting the whole 'bonus points' part, is it okay that I add the bonus points in a comment below to keep the post under 250?
Sorry for inconvenience you and thank you :)

The whole prompt should be under/around 250, not just the main comment. It'd geniunely be worse if people split their prompts into several comments to get around the rules. I'm sorry but my answer is no.
I don't want to attack anyone and it doesn't really concern me personally, as all of my prompts have been fairly short, but why is there a word limit on prompts?
Sure, it might be easier to read through a shorter one and many people feel like tl;dr so they will just skip the long ones, but the op surely knows that and if someone doesn't want to read the entire thing they can just scroll past it?
I'm asking this because I've never seen it on any kinkmeme i've frequented before and it seems to be attracting a lot of people playing police, trolls and a lot of wank, which is a pity and might lead to people not wanting to come back to the meme anymore.
Also the 'not more than 5 prompts per page' is good and all, but also very hard to proove if you don't want ip-tracking (noone does) and there have been anons who felt they were appointed to antagonize people just because their prompting style is similar to others.
What I want to say is: kudos to you for not letting this meme sink into disorganized chaos, you're clearly very active and invested in this, but too many rules will drive people off.

Okay, the main reason the word limit exists is because would-be fillers felt such detailed prompts were limiting and left the writer no room for creativity. ~250 words is longer than a double drabble, any longer than that is almost a short fic. So I do think that's a reasonable word limit.
Regarding the "no more than 5 prompts per page rule" I have mentioned multiple times how unenforceable this rule is and it exists mainly as a reminder to those who don't have a lot of expieriece with kinkmemes. You are absolutely right that the internet detecting of trying to match anons' prompting styles is completely uncalled for and I will delete comments where people do that.

Can't link bc phone but you might want to put another comment up in the prompt post. People are still prompting.

Friday 22nd. I'll comment on the prompt post to let everyone know.
Hi!
I was wondering when the next fills post would be up?
I was wondering when the next fills post would be up?
I'm not sure why we'd need a new fills post. The current one is only at 300 comments.
Forgive me if the answer to my question is obvious; I'm new to DW and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for in the FAQ's. Is there a way to track individual prompts so that I get notification when they are filled, or someone comments on them? I created an account and logged in, but all I can find are instructions to click on the "bell" to enable notifications. But this seems to refer to the entire prompting post, which would make for a lot of notifications! I know on LJ there used to be a way to follow individual prompts, but I can't seem to find one here. Is it because I'm not using a paid account?
Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

I think you need a paid account. You needed one to do that on LJ too, right?

I'm going to leave it unless the OP wants to repost it and asks me to delete it.
A few new prompts have been posted despite the prompt freeze.
Can I post one comment on the fill post with all my fills, or do I have to post them all individually?
You can link them all in one comment if you want.
Hi, somehow my fill got posted twice in a row and it's a rather long one so it'd be really great if one of the duplicates could be deleted: http://tfa-kink.dreamwidth.org/1841.html?thread=2651185#cmt2651185
thanks!
thanks!
Some really disgusting anti-black racism that ought to be deleted over here

Not just frozen, but deleted, if that's possible, because I literally cringed reading that comment, it's pretty specifically anti-black, anti-Finn racism and it's kinda terrifying
