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.

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.

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.

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.
