LJ Advisory Board: can you help with community access?

[rm]

Do you run an LJ community that has been or could be directly affected by unclear TOS on freedom of speech issues (think: political, religious, abuse survivors, creative, academic, fannish, queer, kink, poly, adult lifestyle)?

Do you run an LJ community that has been or could be affected by sloppy attempts on LJ/SUPs part to massage LJ's image (think: mental health/illness, abuse survivors, fannish, queer, kink, poly, adult lifestyle)?

Do you run an LJ community whose users have accessibility issues with the site (those with vision impairments, etc.)?

Do you run a community on any topic whatsoever whose users would be interested in discussion the LJ Advisory Board elections?

If so, I'd like the opportunity to hear the concerns of your users and talk a bit about where I stand on those issues. I promise to make only a single post to talk about the election (unless invited to do otherwise) and my candidacy and not spam the community or its users in any way.

If you'd be willing to let me post in those communities please let me know here or email me at racheline @ gmail dot com. If you're not a community maintainer, but have ties to a community maintainer and want to broach this issue with them, I'd appreciate it.

I have only posted that comment here. In order for it to be spam I would have to post it many places. :)

I've seen it elsewhere. And who cares? If someone posts something unwanted in my LJ - and rm's statement above makes it clear this is unwanted - I use the Delete As Spam action.

This is not your journal and I am unsure as to why you are speaking for rm. She wanted to know where she can campaign and I am informing her that she is welcome to campaign in those communities.

Bullshit. Those are all jameth hidey holes. If she put single foot in anyone of them, you low-lifes would vomit all over her.

She is welcome to use her own judgment regarding where she does and does not post. I will neither confirm nor deny what would happen if she were to post there because I cannot predict the future.

Again, she asked where she would be allowed to post. She is allowed to post in journals that Jameth moderates. I do not see the problem here.

Prevaricator.

Please specify which statements of mine you see as false. I am happy to discuss the matter with you but I need more information than that.

And you wonder why you've scared the bejeezus out of all of my friends.


Sorry, sorry. I'll wander back out now.

Actually, she specifically said "queer-friendly" and foodpics was created after the Christian moderator of picturing_food banned jameth for being gay. Some of the others were created for similar reasons, i.e. [Bad username or site: http://community.livejournal.com/vadges_n_fags/ @ livejournal.com] was created after some gay men were asking about gynecological issues, not being familiar with vaginas, and some women told them that as men they had no right to ask those questions.

Bad tag, it's vadges_n_fags

She specified a lot of different, very broad categories. One of which was "could be affected by sloppy attempts on LJ/SUPs part to massage LJ's image"

One could easily say that anything related to jameth could run afoul of image-enhancement programs and thus they qualify.

REFRESHER COURSE:

rm: If you'd be willing to let me post in those communities please let me know here.

Your statements, contradictory to those of the journal owner and intended to prevent people from doing exactly what they have asked people to do, are clearly brazen acts of verbal terrorism.

This journal is not your space. My journal is not your space. What gives you the right to come here and tell people that the journal owner is wrong and you are right?

clearly brazen acts of verbal terrorism.

Sucks when the shoe is on the other foot, eh?
