What's this flag for commercial shit? Are you saying people can't sell stuff on LJ?

I suspect it is more along the lines of people like myself who don't like seeing advertisements on certain communities and to give us a way to filter that kind of thing out.

Totally OT, but I had to ask: do you know what artist the art in your icon is from? It's gorgeous.

I second this comment! Must look up this artist's work.

I assumed that they were talking about flagging copyrighted material, but now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure selling stuff is against the LJ TOS.

We hear you, yes. ;) I'm not saying that we are going to implement spam bot filtering right now, but I added this to my list of the features which users want, and we'll be discussing it later. Thank you for your proposal.

Plenty of communities welcome "for sale" ads from members. The one I run does, for instance. We are also happy to get posts from local businesses that want to promote themselves, as long as they do so in moderation. Please do not do anything that forces us to ban or delete such posts.

I'm thinking that they will release some kind of deal for lj's commercial use. Even right now you can supposedly embed the lj to your own commercial site. And because of that, using lj for commercial use *for free* will probably be against the TOS in the future. This might get problematic for people who just sell time to time their fan art, handcrafts or the like via their journals.

The other possibility is that the sponsorship deals will set restrictions. Like, because Pepsi sponsors lj, it wouldn't be allowed for an individual popular user to place Coca cola ads in his/hers lj.
