To Catch an LJ Predator
They're calling it Strikethrough 2007. From ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
liz_marcs: If you've seen certain users, RPG journals, or fanfic groups suddenly getting suspended out of the blue, this post should explain everything. There's also a GreatestJournal organizing for LJ refugees and a reminder to back up your LJ. (Some are reporting getting suspended for icons. Oh, this should be fun.)
warren_ellis: Lia’s got a small collection of related links here. Personally? I have an eleven year old daughter. I’m with Warriors For Innocence on this. Of course, almost as bad a name as "Perverted Justice," who views LJ as, and I'm not making this up, an "aggressive corporate sex offender" (and some see PJ's hand in all of this, too).
My worries: that, asliz_marcs notes, the first whiff of this came in April, thus insuring actual "predators" had ample time to cover their tracks. And, of course, that by willfully glossing over the fact-fiction line, LJ/SixApart hurls itself quite willingly down the slippery slope, and I know some of you are going to get caught in it, one way or another. Me? I guess I'm just kinda glad my LJ's not that interesting.
