Title
Warning for Syndication comments

Short, concise description of the idea
Some people don't realise that syndicated feeds are, well, syndicated. A warning on the comments page for syndicated journals, to indicate that the original poster may not read the LJ feed would be helpful.

Full description of the idea
It's fairly frequent, for instance, that a post on OfficialGaiman will get responses for Neil Gaiman, followed by someone pointing them in the right direction. See:

(top comment and second reply to that comment) for an example.
An ordered list of benefits
  • Less confusion for commenters.

An ordered list of problems/issues involved
  • Can't think of any

An organized list, or a few short paragraphs detailing suggestions for implementation
  • Check on the coment page to see if the journal is a syndicated one and include a warning paragraph if it is.

syndication, ~ submitted - needs retagging, comments, account types
