I wouldn't ask this of you guys if I didn't think it was really important.
In suggestions there is a poll. One thing that I have wanted in LJ for a long time now-- ever since I began running communities-- is some security for community maintainers. I don't know if any of you remember or know about the death_note attack, but that's basically what I'm talking about here. As a maintainer and long-time user of LJ, I've seen some nasty things go down in terms of hijacking communities.
Because of that, maintainers don't want to hire co-maintainers. Without an FBI-level background check, it can be a coin-flip chance, and people don't want to take the risk. Communities suffer.
If you care at all, or if you just care that I care, fill out the poll and add this URL into one of the slots:
http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/718457.html
It's for "Chief Maintainer Removal Protection," which basically just means that the maintainer who created the community can has immunity from new maintainers removing him. This immunity can be passed on if the founder decides to leave.
Thanks guys. I appreciate just that you put up with this on your flists. x___x
