I want to first say thank you for addressing this issue.

However, my concern is that many people have complained to you about journals and communities with illegal content for years and have been told the standard "there is no evidence they are committing a crime so they stay" repeatedly. It seemed now that when someone came along threatening to go to the advertisers with screen shots of these sites that a mass deletion occurred and there are still pedophiles out there on lj. I am just upset that all the reasonable people out there were ignored and that you listened to a right wing nut job instead of us. That is where my disappointment truly lies.

Agreed.

Agreed. I am hopeful that this will be addressed in the next update. But I'm not holding my breath

[failuresofine]

Indeed.

[cdaae]

Yup. It would be nice if LJ would commit to telling us when they're about to completely change the way they interpret and enforce the TOS.

[morganofthefay]

i second this.

[maruchina]

Completely agreed.

[sivullinen]

Yes.

[thevelvetsun]

Agreed. They will never respond to your comment though. :(

[the_minx_17]

Well said!

[lizzie]

Agreed.

[morganofthefay]

iawtc.

[mosspiglet]

i concur as well

[spacelogic]

I would like to add an expression of agreement to this, with a side of still being bothered by the new definition of "interest."

[delordra]

I agree - also read that and thought it was a grammar convention rather than a requirement that we had to like things we put in our interests.

My question is, if the "interests" section is only for things that we like, where are we to put things that we're interested in, and might wish to discuss with others, but don't think are just peachy? I'm a pediatrics resident; some of my medical interests include cystic fibrosis and asthma, but I don't like them per se. Where would I be able to put those things, if not in the interests, so that other people who might be interested in discussing those topics could search me out?
