Once More with Epic Fail, SixApart.

They never do learn, do they? They've introduced flagging adult content and also a 'flag' icon on other people's posts. Apart from the point that IMO those are related but different features and the conflation is not a happy one, they didn't bother telling us in the original post what they'd put in place against trolls, etc, etc, and had to post clarification the next day.

It could do with a bit more clarification, too. what's the definition of 'Adult Concepts', for example? Would it include this fic? (That's not a rhetorical question, btw, I really am slightly concerned about it).

Why do LJ insist on making me angry when my renewal is coming up? This is the sort of thing that looses them customers! (Not least because I am a minor, and am now cut off from several things that I used to read for the next year and 30 days.)

Only if you're logged in as yourself

I think a logged-out user has to enter a birthday older than 18 that lasts for the session?

Can I tag this whole thing as "Too Silly?"

[leeflower.livejournal.com]

ugh. The voluntary flagging thing sounds absolutely fine to me, but other people flagging posts?

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

Did it just plain not occur to them how badly this would be abused? Did it not occur to them that the United States is full of nutjobs that believe it is their God-given responsibility to police what other people say and think?

Sigh. Someone go get bandages--LJ shot itself in the foot again...

How many feet does that makes now?

[leeflower.livejournal.com]

oh no, it's the same foot. They just keep shooting it before it can heal up all the way.

There can't be much left.... I suppose SUP has got a new set though. Eeeep.
