MOD POST: Entries Now Default to Public

Mar 08, 2009 01:06

As mentioned earlier, entries posted to this community will now default to being publicly visible unless you set the privacy option to "Members" while posting. This does not prevent anyone from posting members-only entries, it just changes the default ( Read more... )

Did you take care of that new setting, which (as I understand it) allows posts to be reproduced elsewhere?

auntysarah March 8 2009, 01:27:08 UTC

I'm not familiar with the issue you refer to here. Do you have more information?

They implemented a new feature where you can opt to put a copyright "c" on posts in the hopes that passersby will respect the mark and not crosspost the copyrighted material elsewhere. It seems pointless to me, b/c in my understanding original words are implicitly copyrighted and sharing permission is invoked with placement of a Creative Commons mark. So I'm not sure what their aim is here, unless it's to prevent people such as Dirt from skirting copyright laws.

As that FAQ states, that's only applicable to accounts that are using Cyrillic services.

Will comments have to be unscreened by the OP, or by a Mod?

Re: comment unscreening auntysarah March 8 2009, 11:36:58 UTC

Either should be able to.

So, will that protect us from posts that are taken off LJ and uh... posted maliciously?

auntysarah March 8 2009, 20:21:48 UTC

No, but neither will them being members only. With over two thousand members, there's always the potential for locked posts to be leaked.

sockren March 8 2009, 20:32:30 UTC

Yeah. I definitely agree with unlocked posts as having them that way will be much more beneficial to new people entering online communities. Bravo on that.

I'm just not sure what this new lj policy people are linking to actually means in plain speak.

:-P

Ultimately, unscreening them is the OP's problem. If a mod is active in a thread and sees screened comments, one of us may unscreen them at our discretion. OTOH, very few membership requests are turned down (the usual reason for turning them down is that they're obvious spammers).
