LiveJournal gives you a method to ban users from commenting on your journal, without removing them from your friends list. There's no indication to the banned user, until they try to post a comment. Then, and only then, LJ indicates the user has been banned by disabling the check box to comment with your own id:

seems pretty useless to me.

[dramatis]

Yeah, but there isn't much left about LJ that's new or cool or undiscovered, so all we get anymore are greasemonkey scripts. :P

i'm still waiting for the implementation of my friend-of page idea. that way, when my friends list isn't enough for me, i can read all the people who list me.

or do you mean the people on your "Friend Of" list?

/friendsfriends is great, i use it a lot, but it's kind of full of communities.

what i'm looking for is a simple link to the people who have friended me, but i don't friend in return because i don't usually have time to read 300 journals. i would like, as i said in my suggestion years ago, to have a link on my profile that sends me to one page with their entries on it, just as the friends list does for people that i have added. the suggestion was well received at the time, but lj has been sold a couple of times...

You can filter communities out of your friend of friend page: linky

Oooh, not who you replied to, but thanks for this, I didn't know you could do that!

[queenofspades]

Heh, yeah, it's just like filtering communities out of your regular friends page, only copied and pasted with the /friendsfriends address

[dramatis]

FYI, you can combine and change filters too....
?show=P is journals
?show=C is communities
?show=Y is syndicated feeds

?show=PY would show you all but communities, for example.

Days after the fact, but thanks! I didn't know about these, either!

[i]

nice! thank you. that is certainly nifty :)

i'd still like that other wish of mine, though...

[synaptikchaos]

okay, i see what you mean: an easier way to read your journal's "friends of" list without clicking on each individual name.

i would support implementing that feature, as well.

[i]

exactly! there are a lot of people on there i'd like to check in on occasionally. it seems it would be easy to set up.

Thankfully, something doesn't need to be useful to be nifty.
