I don't know if anyone isn't aware yet, but if you have the words "shota" or "incest" or anything related in your LJ interests, you should delete them now. Some kind of vigilante "association" is taking it on themselves to do a witch hunt to find pedophiles and reporting them to LJ, and LJ, having to comply to their terms of service, has been forced to delete the LJs and communities. (the main one that I know of is pornish_pixies, the friendslocked Harry Potter NC17 challenges community, but there are many others.) LJ Abuse wouldn't even have bothered if someone hadn't reported the LJs. The fact is, they're not even reading the LJS to check if that's fictional or not -- what's a bannable offense is apparently having it in your interests. WTF. Not really LJ's fault, though; someone complains, they have to do something about it or face legal action about how they knew and yet aided and abetted a pedo's networking or something.

But anyway. Just in case someone was concerned and didn't know yet. =___=



edit: LJ has made an announcement that... doesn't announce anything.

Please go there and add your own "WTF are you guys thinking" to the pile, if you can spare a minute. Maybe if we bury them under a bazilion "i'm taking my paid account elsewhere, bitch" they'll stop being utterly retarded. Since common sense isn't working, maybe money will speak clear enough. ~_~

I used to be onewavebreaks. Permanently deleted for listing child-molestation, incest and nepiophilia as interests.

Oddly, listing those had nothing to do with fandom, but of overcoming being molested as a child. This is outrageous and a serious violation of our rights. We can't even write fan fiction or survive molestation anymore without coming under fire. Bullshit. Livejournal disgusts me for bending so quickly and willingly to this.)

I'm sorry, Lj may have a legal gun to it's forehead at the moment but personally when it gets to the point that they can't take a few minutes to hire a few people to investigate things that come up under interest searches, there's going to be pointless things like this happening.

On the other hand asuka's journal was not purged so I'm gratefull for that much

My god, that's awful. All those righteous bastards can stick their "OMG they have this listed as an interest therefore they must be out to molest children" up their asses sideways.

I think I'm gonna put "Hey look, no forbidden words on my interests!" on the list.
