 Looks like I have remind everyone to go and read the rules again. Especially rule #1 which states:


1. Be courteous to one another. Keep unrelated comments (aka comments that have nothing to do with the original post) to PMs if they are polite. If impolite, keep them to yourself. No flame wars. We will ban users from this community if they can't handle themselves with a bit of decorum.

Breaking the rules, especially rule #1, makes your moderator a sad puppy but not hesitant with the banhammer. You've been warned, you know who you are. Snark on the characters, not on the people (actors, writers, fellow comm members).

Hey guys,

Time for another PSA from your friendly neighborhood mods with a few reminders.

We've once again amended the rules a bit. Namely rule #4 that now states:


4. Large pictures (anything larger than 300px in height and length), more than three icons, fanfic, and any other "large" posts should go behind a LJ-cut. And please do not format your posts with large fonts and bright colors.

This is just a small issue, and we've included it because it improves readability (and saves flists). The moderators cannot edit your posts, so if a moderator asks that you edit your post (for any reason) please do so as soon as possible. If you have not done so within five hours of the request, your post will be deleted. Reposts that do not break the rules are allowed.

Also, we have decided that Real Person Fanfiction (RPF) will not be allowed in this community. This also means we won't allow any advertisements from communities/sites with such content (to the best of our knowledge) and we will not accept any such affiliates. We apologize for any inconvenience but we are not willing to risk legal repercussion due to libel or defamation of character should someone directly affiliated with CBS or Criminal Minds stumble across us. The show makes every effort to pay attention to its fans, and we don't want to risk a negative outcome because of it.

We also want to remind everyone that the best way to contact the mods with any questions and/or issues is through the email address criminal.x.minds@gmail.com. If you want to advertise your community, please ask here, and if you want to affiliate with us, make a  comment here.

And finally, [livejournal.com profile] criminalxminds  is not in any way affiliated with any contests advertised here. We cannot vouch for the people who are holding these contests, or for the quality of the prizes, and we do not want to get involved in any disputes. And, as our show keeps reminding us, be careful with how you disclose your private information online.

If your community or site is related to Criminal Minds we will probably give you permission to advertise. Advertisements without permission from the moderators will be deleted without notice.

Landcomm advertising goes here

ETA: Any and all advertising banners must abide by the rest of the rules, especially size requirement of under 300x300. Or put under a cut, otherwise your posts will be deleted with or without notice.

New Rule

I never thought a new rule would bring about this much discussion. But 'm glad it did. Everyone has made very good points. As a majority of those involved in the poll voted in favour of this rule, it will now state as follows:

Disabling comments on any posts is not allowed. Any posts not abiding this rule are subject to being deleted without warning.

However i will avoid banning anyone for not following this rule. I don't want to have a disproportionate response to this. I really hope this rule does not drive anyone away from this community.

Furthermore, the lovely [Unknown site tag] has renounced her moderator status for this community. It was a pleasure working with her to keep this community going. As such, i will be looking for a new moderator to help out. If you want to help out please pm me. Listing any previous moderating experience will be helpful. This won't be on a first come/first serve basis, but rather a decision based on your activity in this community so far and previous experience on moderating.

Everyone knows by now that the season 4 premiere is today and, this being , it also means that spoilers will be coming in more and more over the next few weeks. Not everyone here likes to read spoilers. Some only like to read small spoilers, and some like to know everything before the episode airs. As such, i'd like to remind everyone to put SPOILER warnings in their posts.

A spoiler is something that gives away part of the plot for an upcoming episode. All spoiler text or pics should be placed under a cut with the appropriate warning above. If you're only posting link to website that contains spoilers you have to use a warning. If you're not sure whether what you are posting constitutes a spoiler or not err on the side of caution.

All comments and discussions about what happened in the current episode should be kept to the 'Episode discussion' threads made by one of the mods each Wednesday. If you think you have something very interesting to point out and want to make another thread make sure you have a spoiler warning and that you place your comments under a cut. I really don't like to delete posts, but posts that contain major spoilers and no warning will be deleted without notice.

Let's keep this fun for everybody!

Hello all,

I know it seems we have not been around much, but we're here just watching when not posting. That means us, me & [profile] goddess_naunett , your friendly neighbourhood mods. I have a few reminders for all of you:

#1. Before advertising your community and/or website on this community you have to have permission from the moderators. Just pm me or [profile] goddess_naunett with your request. We don't bite and we'll try to answer your query as fast as we can.
#2. All spoilers for season 4 must be under an lj-cut and with a CLEAR spoiler warning. If you don't know how to use an lj cut just ask.

Summer is upon us, and so is the seasonal break. What should we do to keep from boredom on long hot days? I still want to see your suggestions. Some of you have already restarted watching all of the episodes and have been posting here about it. How about we all try to watch the same episode and have a discussion post about it? Say, every Wednesday? What episodes should we chose (because summer isn't all that long)?

Or how about a fanfiction/fanart challange?

I've been doing the long promised back-tagging of the post in this community. So far i've tagged all of the posts from September 2005 trough March 2006, and amongst them i found quite a few interesting things. Episode discussions and opinions from before (based on the promo) and after the episode aired, articles from way back and musings on the characters as everyone saw them trough season 1 and beautiful icons. I've also discovered that some of you were with this community from the very beginning, which was nice surprise.

So thank all of you who keep this community alive by sharing your opinions, icons, and fanart!

If anyone else wants to take a stroll down memory lane, or wasn't around at the time, feel free to check out the tag list. Everything regarding the songs used in the episodes are under 'songs', all of the questions like 'what was that in episode x?" and  "where can i find...?" are all under 'requests', and information and discussions on the characters and actors are under the actor or character name.
