IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS
There has been a disturbing event happening in some of the trans groups, where a transphobic person has taken screen shots of LJ entries (including friends only ones in other communities) and has posted them on another journal type site. For this reason, I have chosen for now to set new members to moderate(so they will have to talk to me before joining). I can't work out how to set the minimum lj posting in the community to friends only (if anyone knows if this is possible please email me at suevill@alphalink.com.au). Basically, all trans groups are currently potential targets, so I'm doing what I can to minimise damage (I don't THINK anything from here has been posted elsewhere, but I can't be sure.
If anyone has any questions, or further information, please feel free to comment, I am going to set this post to filter all comments til I have read them, so let me know if you want yours unlocked when I've read it, otherwise I will leave it locked in the hope that we can continue as the safe and friendly group we have always been. The filter for this ONE post will be private.
Please can you make all posts friends only for now, and if there are any past posts you want to change the settings on, please feel free, I can't do that (that much I could work out from the FAQ's.
I'll assess what to do as I talk more to moderators, some are looking at the drastic step of deleting their entire members list and making everyone go through moderation! Hopefully that won't be necessary here.
Thanks
