We have a statement, finally.

http://news.livejournal.com/99159.html

All I can say is "No fucking shit" to the screwing up part.

And I find myself disappointed with how vague most of their answers are.

Comments

Seriously >_> It only took them...what, two whole days? I'm not going to be satisfied until all the innocent journals are restored. The post is too vague on their exact criteria for my tastes.
That said, OMFGYES at it being over(well, hopefully. Mostly. At least making progress in a good direction). I've never stayed up this late @_@

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

Took long enough, and I'm highly unimpressed.

Still don't trust them. And will probably still move my business elsewhere.

I think the comment on that post that is my favourite would have to be this one. (http://news.livejournal.com/99159.html?thread=47873879#t47873879)

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

*snickers*

Still wanting to move my stuff.

Me, untrusting? Why ever would I feel that way?

[alydhe.livejournal.com]

I put the response I posted on their "apology" in my journal. One of the questions I asked was how could be believe they were truly sorry and not just covering their asses?

I'm am still so very pissed about this. They persecuted innocent people because of outside pressure when people have been asking them to do something about real threats for ages without success.

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

I said the same thing about just covering asses. Especially given how long it took.

I'm a bit boggled at the people who went "Okay, you said something, all better now."

[alydhe.livejournal.com]

are now in the midst of unsuspended about half of them.

And yet, despite it being used as a prime example of fucked-up-ery, pornish_pixies.

And I hear ya about the easily appeased. If it had been their journals suspended, they wouldn't be nearly so accommodating.

And can we really trust someone with grammar that bad? That's a direct quote from the news journal!

[alydhe.livejournal.com]

Sorry for my own disjointed sentence, there. I'm not sure what happened to it. I was saying that pixies wasn't back up.

It appears they know how to move there asses to save it, though. It's back up now.

[chofi.livejournal.com]

(This is the most revolutionarily-appropriate icon I have. Woe.)

Well we really screwed this one up…

O RLY?

I'm just commenting to voice my amusement at the semi-wank over the "FIRST" comment. Ah, Fandom, plus ça change...

[chofi.livejournal.com]

Also, Worst. Parlay. Ever.

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

Well, fandom is still fandom, and first comments are stupid. I didn't even read it, cause I knew it was going to be wanky.

I just don't like how they only seemed to say something just to cover their asses. It makes me twitch. A lot.

And, yeah, worst parlay ever.

::growl::

Their apology seems to boil down to "We made a minor oopsie and you caught us, so we'll try to fix it and please don't be mad at us."

My impression of the whole fiasco?

Gross incompetence and laziness on LJ's part

I'm sure LJ's competitors appreciate it, though. ::blatant sarcasm::

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

That, and "Well, we didn't expect people to notice" seems a vibe as well.

I get the impression as well.

*still setting up other journals* I've got too many things I like that might be the subject to the next witch hunt.

i'm leaving

[nezmaster.livejournal.com]

In the apology they state that advocating illegal behaviour is not allowed. Since I advocate drug use and legalization, as well as polyamory (adultery is still illegal) and many other illegal actions, I don't feel safe. I figure, I'm next.

protest_lj. I'm giving them until
July 4th to make some REAL statments and fixes. I hope some people join me, becuase just taking this only leads to the next fiasco.

Re: i'm leaving

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

I write gay, multiple people in a relationship porn. About characters I don't own. I write about incest and non-con and the like. I'm just happy I didn't get taken out with this one.

I'm checking out LJbook.com to see if I can't back up my LJ, and I am taking my money to other coms.

Insane journal is fairly nice, and cheaper than LJ.

*goes to check out the comm*

[wanderingscroll.livejournal.com]

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutly

That and what madamhydra wrote sums things up perfectly.

P.S. Are you pulling out of LJ entirly, or are you switching this to a side journal?

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

At the moment, side journal. Primary is going to be IJ, I think, though I'm still playing with it.

[arin-rowan.livejournal.com]

...well that was a fun little interlude. (rolls eyes) At least they're admitting they screwed up instead of slinking around the issue.
And by the way, been meaning to ask this for a while, is it alright if I friend you?

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

Friend away. Though I'm moving most of my stuff to Insane Journal, I'll still be posting here.

But, yeah, they admit it, but it still seems extremely half assed.

[arin-rowan.livejournal.com]

Thanks, and already have that link bookmarked.

It's my first livejournal witch hunt, so I still have faith in the system. Give me some time- it'll be crushed and devastated by reality in a few years.

[liandra-m.livejournal.com]

I'm just loving how they refuse to answer when people remind them they reported things before and it was ignored. Then threaten the ads and ohnoes! Mass deletion.

I got copies of all my serious non rp journals over at GJ. Always have just because I'm an icon whore and love having 2000.

I don't know anything about insanejournal so *shrugs*
