What and who got suspended unfairly (according to me)

May 31, 2007 00:16

In case you don't want to wade through the fouteen updates and 180 comments on the first post I made about The Great LiveJournal Purge of '07, here's what it shakes out as:

These individual users are members of fannish communities and in some cases survivors of rape and/or incest, and their livejournals appear not to have condoned or encouraged child abuse, but they had their journals suspended anyway:

yaoi_slut
lynntownsend
onewavebreaks
malakijr
athena2693
pushtyber
joeykaiba
omg_a_terrorist

These journals were used as character journals in on-line roleplaying games, and were suspended despite containing no references to anything outside the parameters of a game:

boot2thehead
seventhsnake
ogata

These were journals in which fan writers posted and discussed fan fiction and art, including pornographic fan fictions, which were suspended:

wonkaslash
artsnarry
afamilyaffair
sbrb_blackcest
pornish_pixies
master_badtouch
gimmehellopro
riddle_torture
razorblade_jinx

This journal was used by a community of Spanish speakers to discuss the Nabokov novel Lolita:

lolita07

Two users that I know of report having the word "yuri" removed from their interests lists.

Seven Livejournal communities (all sites for the discussion and archiving of fan fiction) that I know of were deleted by their moderators in order to avoid the purge. Another five may belong on this list but their moderators have not said why they deleted their communities yesterday or today.

If you know of any individual or community within Livejournal that belongs on any of these lists, please comment below.

For more details, see my previous post on this topic.
