Fandom friending meme

There a fandom friending meme going around thought i'd pass it on. http://phantomsphool.livejournal.com/148065.html?view=1002593#t1002593

I can't believe how repeatedly dumb LJ/6A can be in the space of a few months.

They've suspended the accounts of a couple of fan artists, both Harry Potter ones by all accounts due to the content.

Only instead of doing the usual strike through they have just bolded them out, so it's very difficult for people to tell if there are actually any more than these two accounts that have been suspended.

Again they suspended the accounts without giving the artists any warning or any indication of what it was they had on there accounts that was against the ToS.

People are presumably worried because this isn't just a case of suspending by interest listed, but suggests that LJ is actually checking what people post. Other people just reckon it's a conspiracy against Harry Potter slash fans :)

Really though there doesn't seem to be an awful lot of information as yet, and nothing from LJ themselves, big surprise there.
It doesn't seem to be anything like on the scale of the strike through from earlier this year.

I think people are mainly annoyed that LJ don't seem to be listening to what they are saying and are continuing to make the same mistakes.

There were 44 pages, starting at page six talking about this on LJ's last new post.
I'll probably post something more on here when I find out what's actually going on.
