The Best Damn Community In Melbourne!

Welcome to Live Journal Melbournians, a community for all everybody from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, or just thoses that love the best city on the face of the planet!

In searching for various LJ area based communities after moving back from the US, I noticed that there was a lack of all encompassing communites for Melbourne, most of them where issue or interest specific and not a general all in one!

I modelled this community om damnportlanders one of the best community based groups on Live Journal. Heck, I have liberally used several of their ideas in this general.

Anyway there is almost nothing off-topic, basically just a group of Melbournians hanging out and sharing gossip, local news, asking or giving help, or just want to chill. I just ask that there is no flaming and try to respect each other - no nudity, racism, homophobia or slander et cetera.

Also any large images are asked to be placed under an lj-cut to help anybody still on dial-up. Memes, quizzes and that should be limited to your private journal, as much as we'd be interested in knowning what Spice Girl you are, save it for your own journal.

Also NO PROMOTING RATING COMMUNITIES. I thought it would be rather obvious, but oh well... Posts promoting such places will be automatically deleted. Without question. Plus you will get snarkiness and ridicule from everybody else.

And lastly try to use English in full sentences, don't go overboard in the 'internet speak' - it gives some of us old farts headaches ;-) though I have no problems if used in small doses to get a point or idea across etc.

Hopefully this info will be fluid, open to suggestions and ideas from everybody (especially if you have an idea for a new layout!)

I am your current moderator saintrobert, hopefully I can get a few more people on board soon!

Please enjoy!
