Hi all,
I wanted to check in with you all about the recent rise in drama that the mod team and I have noticed over the past couple of weeks. It appears that drama on the site among members is at a peak, so I wanted to pop in and remind you all that LanaBoards won't tolerate certain types of behaviour.
It seems that the drama is especially high in other artists' threads and in world news threads, especially when it comes to hot-topic debates. While LanaBoards welcomes opinions and discussions of different viewpoints, it is important that these opinions are shared and discussed in a respectful manner. As stated in our rules, LanaBoards will not tolerate any posts that are meant to be purposely inflammatory (flaimbaiting to intentionally start an argument) rude, hateful, insulting, or otherwise crossing a line, and members violating this rule will be warned and given restrictions at our discretion. This is something the moderator team is going to be taking very seriously as it is our mission to have LanaBoards be a safe and welcoming space for all.
Something we've especially been noticing a rise in is personal attacks towards other members and people including other artists, which is something we won't tolerate. Let this serve as a reminder that behind the usernames and profile pictures, we are all real people with real feelings. There's no need to make things personal. Please be mindful and respectful of this when communicating with other members. Again, we do welcome varying opinions and healthy, constructive debates, but please keep these respectful. Think before you press reply.
Something else to keep in mind is that not all intense debates need to be made public, especially if they're veering off-topic of the thread. We encourage users to make use of our personal messaging system to have private discussions, but again, please keep these respectful.
We understand that news is slow at the moment on the Lana front so tensions are a little high, but please don't let this translate into disrespect towards others. 
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns - you all should feel comfortable to reach out to me or another staff member at any time about anything. We are here to help and keep this place safe and enjoyable at the end of the day.
I hope to see things become more peaceful. I'm sending you all lots of love and I hope you all enjoy your weekend x
Let's work it out on the remix~

Some years ago, Lana had created a Spotify playlist with Digster of her favourite songs and Dream Brother was included on it! x

Anyway, in the spirit of squashing the drama, here’s The LanaBoards, so confusing version with Elle 
 
Fan, it's so confusing sometimes to be a fan
Fan, fan, fan, fan
Fan, it's so confusing sometimes to be a fan
Fan, fan, fan, fan
Fan, how do you feel being a fan?
Fan, fan
Fan, how do you feel being a fan?
Fan
Man, I don't know, I'm just a fan
Fan, fan, fan, fan
 
Yeah, I don't know if you like me
Sometimes I think you might hate me
Sometimes I think I might hate you
Maybe you just wanna be me
You always say, "I love Lana"
So we go post in the topics
Sometimes it feels a bit awkward
'Cause the posts can start drama
 
People say we're alike
They say we've got the same fave
We talk about all her music
But I don't know if it's civil
Can't tell if you wanna see me
Getting warnings and mod queues
& you can't tell what you're feeling
I think I know how you feel
 
Fan, it's so confusing sometimes to be a fan
Fan, fan, fan, fan
Fan, it's so confusing sometimes to be a fan
Fan, fan, fan, fan
Fan, how do you feel being a fan?
Fan, fan
Fan, how do you feel being a fan?
Fan
Man, I don't know, I'm just a fan
Fan, fan, fan, fan
 
Well, honestly, I was speechless
When I woke up to the notifs
The mods gave warnings to members
Let’s work it out on the remix
You’d always say, “unlock threads”
But then I’d re-lock last minute
I was so lost in my head
& scared to be in the chaos
‘Cause for the last couple years
I’ve been at war with my power
I tried to keep myself neutral
& then I made site announcements
I was stressed by the hatred
Missed just being a member
But never thought for a second
I’d ever leave you all
“Girl, you act like a fascist”
When it was June, someone said that
& it’s just keeping peace
Until you’re placing a mod-queue
They believed I was biased
Just trying to stop the drama
Forgot that inside the admin
There’s still a fangirl of Lana
 
People say we're alike
They say we've got the same fave 
It's you and me on the boards
The Lipster-verse loves to flame
& when we put this to bed
The mod team staff will go crazy
I'm glad I know how you feel
'Cause I ride for you, LB
 
Fan (LB, LB), it's so confusing sometimes to be a fan
Fan, fan, fan, fan
Fan, it's so confusing sometimes to be a fan
Fan, fan, fan, fan
Fan, how do you feel being a fan?
Fan, fan
Fan, how do you feel being a fan?
Fan,
Man, I don't know, I'm just a fan
Fan, fan, fan, fan
 
Fan, fan
It’s so confusing
Fan, fan, fan, fan
You know I ride for you, too
It’s so confusing
