Typical Posts

Often the typical iconrants post pretends to be clever and witty about posts in icon_tutorial. Members of iconrants religiously watch icon_tutorial and then race each other to make fun of the latest genuine questions. Often they forget what their skillz were like before they stole Photoshop. They are in dire need of a life offline.

Posts usually include several cliches:

• All caps
• E-heart attacks over mundane things
• Size 5 Font
• Examples of shit graphics
• Netspeak in so-called sarcasm

When not ranting about icon_tutorial, posts will often express dislike at trends such as red dots on icons, font that looks like dots, and dotted borders on graphics. Friends only rants are also common. Comments follow in enthusiastic agreement, often with deep expressions such as, "OMG SRSLY!"

The nerds at iconrants love themselves so much that they have made ranting_icons, a community in which they make each other's wank into icons.

Moderation

The chief moderator of the community is nardasarmy, a.k.a. Tangles, who is generally seen as an idiot by anyone with a brain. Noone within the community seems to notice, and most are quick to give her praise whenever she makes up a new rule. Nardasarmy is actually a luser IRL who is somehow married and has a special child. Her only happiness comes from banning people from her own community when they don't give her enough praise or finally realize she's a dumbass who thinks she is e-famous because she runs a large community with an iron fist.

Nardasarmy has at least 100 icons stating that she is a moderator. DO NOT FORGET.

Although she owns the community, she actually makes questionable graphics. Oh, the irony!

None of the other moderators ever contribute anything.
