I really don't understand why you are being so vague. You seem to be saying that you might have wanted to make your own fanfic videos using the house you located. Now you're feeling cheated because the Creators are not okay with you visiting the house or talking to the owner. Is that what you're alluding to?

Let us for a moment, compare the CiW vids with the LG15 vids to see if we can find some differences as to which ones invite people to go the locations they’re shot at and which don’t. Both the CiW vids include the phrase “come and get it” this is a clear invitation to go to this location and “get” something. Such invitations have never been included in a LG15 video, in fact, all people involved have asked people not to go to the locations. There is no reason to, you have not been asked to, you have been directly asked not to. Please respect that. Thank you.

Mods, the problem that is frustrating so many of us is that you say two things very clearly:

1.) We do not have any information that you are not aware of.

2.) We are right and you are wrong.

This has nothing to do with "the house", it just happened to come up in that conversation. It's a much wider problem that has been around for much longer.

If this is a fan community where the moderators are simply trusted members of that community, then there should be absolutely no difference between us, save for your ability to move threads and post stickies to help all of us keep the forums more organized. We will naturally be put off by the matter-of-factness, and often the arrogance with which you sometimes speak to us.

Regular members of this forum often present themselves in the same way, but it's an entirely different animal when the mods do it. The fact that you are moderators obligates you to a degree of restraint in how you respond to the rest of us. If you are not above us, you have to make the effort to show that. Diplomacy is part of the job.

I'm not at all angry with any of you, I'm just frustrated with this one glaring problem that it appears you cannot see from our perspective. If you can see it, the defensive responses to these concerns only worsens the problem.

Perhaps some of the misunderstandings come in over the nature of this site.

This is the official lonelygirl15 fansite. We are told that additional features will added in the coming weeks and months, and perhaps some confusion has crept in regarding those features. This forum is part and parcel of the official site for the interactive fiction lonelygirl15. As such, it isn't the exact equivalent of informal fansites like Anchor Cove or cassieiswatching.myfreeboard.com. The Mods, the Site Admin, and the LGPedia Mods form the staff of the site.

As such, the staff will occasionally be given genuine and bona fide instructors from the site owners -- Miles, Mesh and Greg, the creators and producers of lonelygirl15 -- regarding the nature of the ongoing production, especially with regard to what are its official components and what are not. To date, we have never been provided with actual plot spoilers, and we do not anticipate being made privy to that sort of information.

I cannot state it strongly enough that the Modstaff understand our first obligation is to respect the requests and directions we are given by the site owners. They make very few demands upon us. To my knowledge, the owners have been truthful and frank with their staff.
