A question.

I was having a discussion with a friend earlier regarding LJ-cuts on communities. My opinion is that if someone posts a lengthy entry on a community (be it a fic, picspam, etc.) that clogs up my flist, I'm well within my rights to politely request that they place the content beneath a cut. In my experience, this is basic LJ etiquette. However, my friend feels that such a request is rude, and that only the community mod(s) should be allowed to comment asking that the entry be LJ-cut. I've never come across this since I've been on LJ, but maybe I've just missed it this whole time. So I'm wondering: Is this a common rule in communities—that only a mod can ask that entries be placed beneath a cut? I'm curious.

If all the mods of those communities happen to be off-line at the same time (standard US work hours, for example), the entry will remain uncut for a while.
