aura218: Official Statements in the lj_biz post - This is a list of mod comments in The Lj_Biz update post re: deletegate 2, posted August 7, 2007. -
- amanuensis1: And if you haven't read Watership Down, why the heck not? Go read! Shoo! - Fiver didn't know the language on that notice board. Fiver only knew that something bad was coming. What did Fiver do? He got out. -
- rydra_wong: Apparently I feel obliged to have to have an opinion - The very latest post in lj_biz does seem to confirm this reading, by indicating that yes, drawings are being treated very differently from text. But as far as I know, this is actually the first time that LJ's stated that out loud. -
- brown_betty: IBARW: On being an ally in fandom - So, when you're a fan looking for an explanation, the fan of colour who's explaining things to you doesn't know if you're genuinely trying to understand, or a troll, until you prove yourself. -
- lightgetsin: Oh, fine, yes, I'll say something - Fandom does not have the privilege of controlling how it appears to outsiders. It may sound like a worthy goal, but that way lies the sort of moral self-policing and majority rule which is pretty much the only thing I can think of that could cause me pers -
- jadelennox: [in struwwelpoacher] implied audience and erotic scenes between adolescents - What I'm trying to understand is why, to me, there is a real textual difference between explicit sex in a book for children or young adults and explicit sex in a fanfiction story, even if that story is based on a source text which is a book for children o -
- yourlibrarian: Ch-Ch-Changes - it occurred to me that fandom itself frequently has charitable drives and projects. Contributions to them ... does something helpful for others, seems like so much more of a plus than to be putting change in LJ's pockets. -
- bubble_blunder: Open Letter To LiveJournal/Six Apart Take 2.5 - The newest, post lj_biz, version of the open letter is finished! -
- elke_tanzer: Finding my way around... - On InsaneJournal, places I've found fannish communities are: . . On GreatestJournal. . Has anyone spotted other fannish infrastructure they found useful in finding their way around comms and feeds on any of these three journaling services? Comment away! -
- zgirl714: Why Isn't Anyone Writing the Dru/Gunn Action? - just because you draw fan art of Remus sucking off Sirius doesn't mean that your straight, white middle class ass doesn't have prejudices. Thanks for supporting the ghey and all with your art, but that doesn't exempt you from racism (or homophobia.) -
- shay_renoylds: PR and TOS issues// - "Livejournal users are unique, that's what we like."//This is from <lj user="rachel">. I called 6A today to discuss fandom related issues in lj_biz and the recent boldening of users. -
- miriammoules: An open post about Race and Child Porn - looking at the images and the context in which they were posted, my instant response was "that's not good". Imagination has merit, because if wired in, it can become a catalyst for changing the world we inhabit. Too much of it, and it becomes the master. -
- miriam_heddy: Several people on my f-list have linked - Several people on my f-list have linked to this guy Terrible Secret and I just have to say, I think it's a bunch of b.s. Yes, he's a reasonably good rhetorician, but he's also condescending and makes sweeping claims with no evidence to support them. -
- egelantier: on sex and fandom education - I discovered fanfiction.net - when I was sixteen. it was a hot summer[...]and I was bored out of my mind. so I've started to read all in a row, and I still remember first thing fandom done for me. it set me free me from shame. -
- telperion1: (HP:DH spoilers below, though the post r - It's this: who says eighteen is an adult? It's not in Potterverse, or Ardaverse for that matter. -
- jlh: Can we get real, here? - Still: copyright fights, not just for nutty media or SF/F fans anymore! -

- ataniell93: On the Legal Differences Between Text and Visual Images in the USA, and on LJ - On LiveJournal, textual erotica and visual erotica have always been treated differently. ALWAYS.//The reason for this is not hypocrisy, or if it is hypocrisy, it isn't LJ's hypocrisy and it isn't SixApart's hypocrisy. The reason for this is US la -
- violet_quill: because those URLs are dangerous, dangerous things... - So you know how everyone's been waiting for LJ to answer that question about LINKS which they so conveniently ignored in the latest lj_biz post? Well, I got an answer. And you're not going to like it -
- fandebate_mod: [in fandebate] Gender and Fan Culture (Round Ten): Jonathan Gray and Roberta Pearson - Media and communications studies needs to acknowledge the important contributions of fan studies, particularly with regard to affect (and with regard to their own affect toward media texts). But fan studies needs to consider more general audiences. -
- mercurtin: Is it time to give up "Porn"? - I don't mean stop writing/drawing sexually explicit material But I wonder if it's time to change our terminology, and get into the habit (in some cases, back into the habit) of calling it something besides "porn". -
- aristaea: At Least They Are Trying - I received this response from LiveJournal support in regards to an email I sent them after their post in lj_biz. -
- dangermousie: Meta thoughts on hurt/comfort. Why do we love it so? - Why do so many women (myself among them) are such suckers for hurt-comfort scenario? -
- trobadora: E-Mail from LJ! - rachel, the SixApart manager of consumer-product support, offered to answer people's questions in the comments to shay_reynolds's post here, and she posted her email address. So I thought I'd take advantage of that offer to ask a few things. -
- liz_marcs: I Just Pinged LJ Regarding the Issue of Linking - I want to be clear: I'm not calling the OP a liar, but this response beggars belief as far as I'm concerned, especially since Web sites change all the time and it's not that hard to imagine a once-innocent link to, say to an article on SuicideGirls (warn -
