Response from Six Apart

May 24, 2006 15:00

As you are aware, on Friday we sent out a request to a member of this community asking her to remove her default user picture because it was found to be in violation of our standard restrictions for default userpics after being reported by a fellow LJ user.

Enforcing these restrictions is not a fun or enjoyable part of the LJ Abuse staff’s job, ( Read more... )

Thank you very much for posting this Doug and for helping to clear up SixApart's view on this topic.

I am also looking forward to working with you directly in order help clarify and solidify the wording in the FAQ.

I wish i knew someone would read these comments, and make the connection that so many members have made, but alas i fear it isnt so, since there has been no reply from six apart to any of the comments thus far.. still i want to continue elaborate on the importance of advocacy by images, even lj images, in the normalization of breastfeeding, so i would like to give you these words, taken from an advocacy site Iowa ( ... )

Thank you so much for your attention to this matter, Doug. We really aren't sensationalists, as you yourself are no doubt aware. Your professional and sensitive response has really helped restore my faith in your company, and made me much more comfortable with my decision to pay for an account with you. I'm sure I speak for many of us when I say this.

I do hope this can be a constructive dialogue.

Thats much better than the carbon copy replies we've been getting.
I still think that the "no breastfeeding" icon issue is pretty silly, but I really appreciate you actually taking the time and energy to address our concerns and feelings in this matter.

p.s. - Make sure to give your lovely breastfeeding wife a hug tonight :)

Thank you for the apology. It is very much appreciated.

It is wonderful to know that we are being heard, and that you care about this issue, and want to resolve it fairly.

Thank you, again.

Totally OT, but may I steal your QAF icon?? :)

unlegal May 25 2006, 02:12:32 UTC

Sure! I wish I could tell you who made it :\ I stole it off of someone myself.

That's my favorite scene in the whole series.

xavi7734 May 25 2006, 02:24:45 UTC

Thank you. :) I still cry when I think about the fact that QAF is off the air and will never be back..heh.

Thank you.
It's nice to finally get a real response from someone,as opposed to the blanket letters we've recieved up to date.
It's nice to know that sixapart is really paying attention to our concerns.
Thank you for taking time to listen to us and look into matters.
