Oh and a prediction:

[sparkindarkness]

Within maybe 3 weeks we will have the first drama as Lj forces something to be "mature" or "explicit" when it really really really shouldn't be

I'll bet you 10 points it will not take that long.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

No bookie would back me taking that bet! Not with LJ's rep

[klgaffney.livejournal.com]

*laughing* of course. but first they actually have to make the system usable. i would happily use it of my own free will, because i don't really want kids on my lawn anyway, but as of right now, it's buggy as HELL.

[allthepettylies.livejournal.com]

a la Lewis Black: "get out of here you little shit"

sorry, your lawn comment reminded me of that

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

lol, true, i hate kids :). But I'm not going to spenmd hours flagging my journal because their '#rents can't herd them properly

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Personally I don't want little kiddies on my lawn either, but I'm not going to go out of my way to keep them off - that's what their 'rents are for :)

Nor am I going to flag things as not suitable for 17 year olds - in the UK 16 is old enough to do most things and, frankly, I don't think I've written anything that would have traumatised me aged 14, let alone 15-17 and I'm not going to make their/their parent's decision as to what is/is not suitable for them to read :)

And ye're right, the whole system is just insane insane insane and buggy beyond belief.

3 whole weeks? Wow, that's generous... I was thinking a week or less, especially since they implementing it just before the weekend... when all us freaks have more time to be on LJ!

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

I'm including time necessary for me to hear about it :)

[buddykat.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well then, that's different. ;)

[mrmeval.livejournal.com]

I flagged their message as explicit per a meme going around.

[thisdaydreamer.livejournal.com]

I hadn't thought of that. If Barak was still around, you know everyone would have flagged his LJ.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

I considered it but they're likely to ignore it and apparently they may ignore your flags if they don't agree with what you'rte flagging

[mrmeval.livejournal.com]

Well I don't know, writing a script that sets any website with "Jesus" or "Christian" in it to explicit .... will be fun to watch.

[thisdaydreamer.livejournal.com]

I like the way you think.

[mrmeval.livejournal.com]

It's too bad my geek foo is not up to it.

[thisdaydreamer.livejournal.com]

Neither is mine. I bet someone is going to do it, though. There are enough who have wasted their time with friending a huge number of random people.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

LOL, i had considered it - and it shows just how much this is open to craziness.

That';s one thing, the abuse team has set themselves up for a VAST work load

[logophilos.livejournal.com]

Just in time for Christmas!

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

A nice present of drama for the holiday season. ho ho ho

[thisdaydreamer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the flagging thing is bound to be as big a hit as those Pepsi gifts. Maybe even as great a success as the Strikethrough.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

They're just GOOD at creating these disasters aren';t they?

[allthepettylies.livejournal.com]

heave ho, fans and writers, never say we die......


I see the little flag at the top of your post, and it makes me want hit break something

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

We keep fighting the good fight

Aye it annoys me muchly, grrr
