wtf lj
Okay, so, um, evidently some folks are seeing old locked posts at lj magically now being unlocked?? [according to, idek, some post I saw on DW's 'latest' page when I clicked that bookmark instead of whatever I had intended to, which said it was via comments at the latest lj news post]. I did check, none of my locked posts (nor any comments screened on my journal) were made public, but regardless, this is enough to push me:
I'm finally importing LJ comments to DW, this is so that I can go to my locked posts and delete them (Note to people who commented on the LJ version of the help-pakistan post-- I'm going to delete those comments now, just in case LJ screws up screening as well. If you'd like to remind yourself of what you said in that comment, they are under your LJ openID on the DW post and they are screened.)
In the future, any locked/filtered/etc/whathaveyou posts will only be posted to DW. (I might make a flocked post on LJ saying 'go check out the DW flock for a new post'? I'm not sure yet, I really haven't thought that far ahead.)
I *think* I've granted access to everyone's openID's LJ account who commented on a locked post of mine (regardless of if they also have a dreamwidth account-- thus ensuring that they maintain the ability to edit/delete said comment), and I *think* I've granted access to the LJ openID of folks who don't already have access under a dreamwidth account. Let me know if that's not the case, or if you think I've somehow mucked something else up. Comments are screened at DW (which means no commenting at LJ, because I don't trust them not to fuck things up). (And I do have DW invites if anyone wants them.)
Um, possibly I'm too tired to be deleting things and granting access and whatnot right now, but I want to do this now (since I'm sure that putting it off until I'm more alert and have more time won't somehow make LJ less prone to these sorts of errors). So really please do let me know if I've done something fumble-fingered, and the not immediately necessary policy changes will be decided upon at some point when I have more brain.
And note to self: go back and add the 'comments screened' tag to the appropriate places, and the 'different lj and dw entries' tag to the posts for which the lj comments have been disabled (due to being screened on dw) and to the restricted access posts (which don't have a corresponding LJ post now, obv)
