This was rejected by the mods at chemicalromance. I submitted it a second time with a note, just to ask why it was rejected since there was no reason given. The mod then messaged me saying that, in a nutshell, it was rejected because it was not news pertaining directly to the band, did not contain pretty pictures for people to ogle or for people to bitch about their weights/facial hair/hygeine/how much they hate the name Bandit and it was considered it advertising. That's what I got out of the reasoning anyway. I couldn't help but be perturbed by this considering most of the posts that get through there. Frankly, I think it's bullshit. If we aren't allowed to submit this type of thing there, where are we supposed to do it? It is the biggest MCR community on LJ after all. I wasn't hawking my shitty merch or a community. I mean, basically one of the guys could drop a deuce, take a twitpic and it would be approved there for fans to analyze the shape and consistency but god forbid someone have a positive suggestion of some sort. Even if nothing at all comes of it.

After days and days in the queue my post was rejected a second time. The mods saying they came to a "mutual agreement" that it shouldn't be posted because it isn't directly related to the band.....Of course. Because you really needed to know that the Helena replica dress was up for bid on E-bay. Oh, and it was very vital for you to see someones fan fiction satire lyrics. Obviously, these are both very very very relevant and directly related to the band.
