Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 1:06 pm Post subject: Live Journal issues |
|
|
Live Journal, under pressure from advertisers by way of Warriors for Innocence (run by individuals with strong ties to a rather militant dominionist group) was attempting to remove pedophiles but also deleted many more journals and communities that were fandom related. They also deleted rape and incest survivor's journals, a discussion group for the novel Lolita and journals with the interests "gothic lolita" and "elegant gothic lolita" which is a style of dress popular in J-rock.
2 days later they are starting to finally attempt to make things right with the improperly deleted journals but seem to have also un-deleted ones that should have stayed deleted.
This is a major mishandling that all of LJ should know about, not just SPN, Heroes and HP fandoms and such. Many are leaving LJ or simply no longer paying for the accounts.

since when do you have to pay for livejournal? I thought it was free? _________________ I know I'm an acquired taste: I'm anchovies. And not everyone wants those hairy little things. If I was potato chips, I could go more places. -Tori Amos |

you know what, back when I had a LJ account, I had a lot of problems with the programmers when I was pointing out glitches in their site. And trust me, there is a shit ton.
ANyways, by the end of it I just said "Screw it. I'm leaving. This site is going to end up imploding in the end anyways."
I hate that place sooo much. _________________ kelly

oooo.
Yea I didn't like LJ when I had it either. There are better blogging sites out there IMO.
As for what they did, well it sounds like they just wanted to get it done and over with quick and hushed up but instead screwed it up and now it will just be an issue even longer. Personally though, I'd never pay for a blog site but that is just me lol. _________________ I know I'm an acquired taste: I'm anchovies. And not everyone wants those hairy little things.
