LJ has done some changes of policies. And they're all for the better! Incredible isn't?

In particular :

* Our Adult Content policy has been changed to emphasize that content which is flagged as containing explicit adult content does not mean it is in violation of our Terms of Service, and will not result in other actions being taken against users who post it. The process for reporting adult content has also changed so that the system only handles reports of adult content; reports of violations of our policies should be reported as outlined here.

We have also stated within the policy that non-graphic, non-sexualized nudity is not considered explicit adult content. This includes things such as an image of a mother breastfeeding their child, or a non-sexualized work of art such as the Statue of David. We have also extended this to our policy on default userpics; non-graphic, non-sexualized nudity is no longer considered a violation of our default userpic policy.


* Our policy on Non-Photographic Images of Minors is being removed. What this means is that we will no longer be requiring the removal of this content, or suspending people who have posted it. We feel that with the introduction of the adult content flagging system, we do not need to take any further action on this type of material.


In celebration, I've reinstated my paid account, let LJ know as a customer I'm happy with the change ^_^ That means icons! Lots of icons! Damnit, I'd missed my icons ♥ ♥ ♥

It's been nearly a year since Strikethrough, right? They certainly took their time working out their policy. Still, good news for LJ fandom. :)

I'm trying not to get too excited about this, since I'm worried that people who disagree with the policy changes (or with the LJ election results, sigh) will try to find some way to abuse the flagging system in retaliation. And who knows when LJ itself will decide to be stupid again?

But for the moment--yes, squee!

Yeah, I'm trying not to get too excited either (I've only paid for 6 months though, if they revert to type...)

Very, very squee

Oh, wow. Who'd have thought?

*off to add paid time and write a happy customer note*

LJ shows common sense! Incredible!

I can see how a lot of people will be wary of all of this regardless, but at least LJ is TRYING to be helpful rather than a pain in the arse.

On behalf of fandom - thank you, lj.

I don't know if their intentions are pure, but as long as their actions make me happier, I'm happy to thank them too!

Not per se, but feedback@livejournal.com occasionally deserves some attention. Other than comments, you also get a response so you know the email has actually been read.

On the other hand, flagging has now been modified (also noted in those policy changes) and the worst that can happen is that your entry won't be visible to minors. I mean, I tremble :P

Ooh.

Well, I might just leave a comment at the post, I don't really want to bother the abuse team...

Thanks for the good news--all of it! I'm especially pleased to see the return of your many icons, including some new ones, like this:



That's an interesting use of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. ~_^

I think they decided making their current customers happy was good for business.

Yes, wank as done by people who post to Something Awful and the Chans--in other words, wank by people who usually mock it.
