LJ - Yes, still talking about it.

OK, you know what pisses me off about the whole thing - it isn't the deletion of journals, it isn't the covering of their corporate asses, it isn't even their obvious attempts to make profit. They are a company, they are in danger of law suits, and they have a right to make profit. No, those things doesn’t really bother me, it annoys me but it doesn't anger me, what makes my blood boil is Livejournal's complete and utter DISRESPECT to their customers (paying or otherwise).

You do NOT lie to your customers by putting words in Ponderosa's mouth. You do NOT mock your customers on a PUBLIC forum, no matter whether you are on holiday or not. You do NOT have the right to be self-righteous on your mountain when it is your customers who pay the company that pays you. You are in a SERVICE industry - your customers deserve to be considered, to be respected, and not to be ridiculed. The way that LJ has allowed their staff to continue to lie, to mock and to judge LJ accounts when they are obviously biased is unprofessional, unethical and disrespectful to their customers.

The utter disrespect that LJ, a profit-making business, has shown their customers is truly appalling.

No, still not leaving because leaving means they win, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to be forced out of here.

Yeah, I have no idea why they seem to have learned nothing.

I wonder what they're going to do now? At this point, I'm not holding my breath for them to change, just more interested in seeing what new fireworks we'll see.

Here's a comm which is supposed to have some legal information. There was supposedly a case, but I can't seem to find info on that because I don't know the name of the person.

They really need to employ someone who does nothing but PR. It isn't as if they don't have the money for it.

Whatever they do, or the users do, it is going to be really interesting.

Thanks for the link! Will check it up.

Oh, but they do? See their org chart. It's just that the effectiveness of this PR does not seem to be very high.

It is. It will be interesting to see whether the comms go.

That is sad.

In relation to link - interesting. Well, at least they made it extremely clear. Also, what happens when it is written or produced by someone who is also underage? I remember being 16 or 17, and into anime and manga.

I have no idea. In the U.S. I recall there was a case where an underage girl was charged for taking pictures of herself.

I have no idea what happened in the end, I'm afraid.
