More interest-related censorship from LJ

[elfwreck]

stewardess points out that porn, sex, and fanfiction have been removed from LJ's most popular interests page.

Yeah, they're working hard on improvements in content delivery... by removing access to content they wish they didn't host. (And that part about "increasing certain limits for Basic and Plus users?" Ummm... they'll be increasing the status points

I was wondering what this error message meant:

(LJ::run_hook("interest_search_ignore", query => $GET{int_like} || $FORM{int_like})) {
+ return $ad . "Sorry, we're unable to help you find users matching the interests you've provided."

This is almost word for word what I got on IJ when searching for "Wicca", "Witch" and "Witchcraft" related interests.

In a word, Lame. I guess it's a choice of corporate asshats who are against fandom, or a company that appears to be against my religious choices. Again, Lame.

on LJ or IJ?

IJ. I was goofing around with it yesterday, and I kept getting that blocked search error. At first I just thought it was a technical thing, but seeing how LJ is blocking certain interest searches made me wonder.

He just updated the code. 6 to 1, LJ's blocks are apart of it. Leave a message for squeaky in announcements.

Buttholes.

Do you think I should get a myspace?
