I am updating my policy from 2006.
This LJ has been is going Friends Only. Sorry too many snoops. Most of my snoops have gotten tired of me locking everything and have moved onto Facebook or another fruitful hobby. Thank goodness.
Comment to be added. Don't be offended if it takes a while or i don't recognize you right away. IF YOU DO NOT COMMENT AND JUST FRIEND ME ANYWAYS, DO NOT EXPECT TO BE FRIENDED BACK. I WILL SUSPECT YOU ARE A BOT.
When you comment, you need to say how you know me. Don't just write: "Hi I'm lj-name. Please friend me." I will ignore you or think you are a bot.
A better way to phrase that would be "Hi. I know you from specific lj-community or I met you the other day at a party. Please friend me." That way we can keep out the creepy. The reason I'm doing this is because I'm getting a larger number of bots and people just sitting on their lj accounts with unknown reasons for friending.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Thank you!
