Similar to this recently-approved suggestion, but a different enough idea for implementation that I am also approving this one.

I commented over there with the concept of an " Enable Easy Sharing" entry property, but did not extend the concept to excluding OpenID and Facebook users from commenting, nor to excluding the entry from RSS feeds.

For what it's worth, I personally don't agree with the idea of creating a way to prevent external accounts from commenting on any public entry. However I can see why some users would want it and I didn't feel it was my place to remove it form the submitted suggestion.

Me, I don't think that the ideas mesh well together ( ... )

exclude "on-site only posts" from UNAUTHENTICATED RSS feeds. Many people use authenticated RSS [with their LJ accounts] to use RSS aggregators to read content, as opposed to the LJ friends view

Makes sense to me, but it does sort of muddle the whole "onsite only" concept.

Re: friendly amendment suggested... happypete September 21 2010, 02:20:20 UTC

Maybe a better description would be "only share with registered LiveJournal users." [as opposed to all registered users, which could include OpenID users]

Re: friendly amendment suggested... fiddlingfrog September 21 2010, 02:28:34 UTC

I don't think that's right either, it doesn't describe the main idea not hiding any content from anyone who's viewing it on the LiveJournal site itself.
