Title
Get a different domain for lj admin

Short, concise description of the idea
Due to the amount of spam coming to me from @livejournal.com, official admin should have a different domain name.

No. Mostly because that would only encourage more spam.

How long would it take for the spammers to start faking the new domain? A week? Week and a half? Is LiveJournal supposed to buy a new domain to send email from several times a month, for the rest of eternity? Spammers themselves are not as stupid as what they send.

Too easily mistaken for spam and too easily imitated. Build a better spam filter.

I don't work for LiveJournal so don't take any of this as gospel truth. That having been said,

You really need to fill out a fresh suggestion for this (see the userinfo of this community) because it's unrelated to lupini's suggestion.
The way it works at present is this: comments appear in full until an entry has 50 comments. At that point the comment view is collapsed so that no more than 25 comments appear in full; and divided into pages, each having 25 top-level comments. All pages of comments are collapsed, although the last page (which will usually be shorter than the others) might have all the comments visible.
There's no way to change this; people have been asking for it since the dawn of time but it doesn't seem like it will ever get fixed. There's an interesting thread on a random entry in lj_biz about it - doubtless it's one of many (and I'll bet there's a suggestions post about it although I didn't find it when I had a quick look).
I lied: there is a way to change it, but you lose all the threading so it's not usually a good way to read all the ( ... )
