You may end up having to apologize to your entire customer base…
But, I’m glad to see LiveJournal/Six Apart are least reviewing things instead of simply sticking with “your account was reported, therefore it is automatically suspended” tack they were taking yesterday. Granted, it’s what they should have done in the first place, because it seems that many of these accounts could have been easily fixed to be within TOS parameters, but at least they’re doing it.
Honestly, I’m not surprised at how this has played out. I’m sure this has NOT been a fun week for the abuse team - having a group like Warriors for Innocence decide to target your site and customers has to be somewhat disconcerting to say the least. I can see why it went straight to suspensions. But at the same time, it’s not like these journals were ever completely wiped off the map and I’m hardly shocked that they’re now actually reviewing them.
Glad they’re fixing it. Shame that cooler heads weren’t around when it all hit the fan in the first place.
