Welcome to Maccadam's!
Just like our favorite bar, Maccadam's is meant to be a place of gathering. In creating this comm, I hope only for a hub-like place for fandom to meet, some central location where we could connect in a way our fandom hasn't been able to since the great Strikethrough. The goal is for Maccadam's to be a relaxed place where all of fandom can chat, share, network, have fun, and come and go as you please. The bar is open and operating under the expectation that everyone police their own online experience and follow Pillowfort's ToS.
All Transformers-related content is welcome here, so please feel free to post links or fics, art, meta, etc, and chat it up, but please use ALL appropriate tags and warnings for your posts. Not only will it help everyone find what they're after, but it'll help those seeking to avoid specific content as well.
- Use a Read More for all text posts after 200 words or those which contain spoilers or NSFW content.
- Use a Read More for any art posts with more than 2 images or more than one standard size comic page.
- Use a Read More for ALL NSFW art: this includes sexually explicit images as well as gore and violence. If someone could get in trouble at work for viewing it or catch hell from their family/friends/coworkers if someone underage sees it, it goes behind a Read More.
- Use a Read More for ANY flashing images and autoplay video links. No exceptions. Please also tag that there are flashing images. My apologies to our members with conditions that flashing images adversely affect for not considering this sooner.
- Please use ALL appropriate tags. This means: Tag for rating regardless of what type of post you are making. Tag continuity, characters, for any warnings or triggers, tag the post NSFW if it is. Over tagging is appreciated, under tagging will get your post removed. This has gotten REALLY bad lately. Tags are our friends, please use them to help people find you as well as avoid content they don't want to see or avoid trouble by looking at something at the wrong time.
- Make sure the NSFW toggle is On in the post itself if it's not safe for work or safe for under-aged people to view.
If you need guidance on how to tag something, I'm here to help. PM, email, or hit me up on discord and we'll get it situated, no problem.

Rating Tags:
G = General/Anyone including a toddler could see/read it
PG = Maybe a little more than General, I use this rarely, but if you know it's not grown-up enough for only teens and older, but not as mild as a G rating, go for this one.
PG-13 = Teens and up - Some swearing, mild violence, some kissing/making out.
Mature = Anything that's 18 or older - Graphic Violence, Gore, Body Horror, Fade to Black love or passion scenes.
Explicit = Anything where graphic sex (consensual, dub-con, or non-con) is depicted 'on screen'. It would not be incorrect to use this rating for very graphically described violence and gore.
When in doubt, choose the higher rating. It's better to over-warn and over-tag, than under-warn or under-tag.
Be kind. I'll ban anyone trolling, harassing, picking fights, or putting another person down.
THINK (Is it True? Is it Helpful? Is it Inspiring? Is it Necessary? Is it Kind?) before you hit that submit button on comments.
ABSOLUTELY NO 'anti'/pro-censorship behavior of any kind permitted under any circumstances. This is the hill I'll die on, folks, and it's gone to automatic banhammer offense for me. If you're the sort of person who thinks you have the right to judge others for what they enjoy in fiction, Maccadam's is NOT the place for you. Maccadam's is NOT the place to promote that mentality or to promote places that do, so do not.
I'm sure this goes without saying, but please do not EVER repost someone else's work without their permission. Instead, just post a link to where they themselves have posted it with all appropriate warnings/tags/etc. Fic, Author, and Artist recs are encouraged.
If ever there is a need, I can be reached via email or discord for any Mod duties if simply PMing me isn't grabbing my attention fast enough. ^_^

You can also check the Mod Post Tag to see if it's something I've already posted about too if it's not an emergency.
