Well, as I'm sure a lot of people have heard, we've finally gotten that policy update we've been promised. This is a proposed policy, which means we still have a chance to argue it before it brings the banhammer down on us all. So I've gone through it, even the bits I'm not terribly concerned about. Here's my responses.
( Adult Content )
( Bandwidth Theft )
( COPPA Violation )
( Child Pornography )
( Commercial Activity )
( Copyright Violation )
( Evasion of Termination )
( Harassment )
( Hate Speech )
( Illegal Content )
( Impersonation )
( Inappropriate Content )
( Invasion of Privacy )
( Journal Ban Evasion )
( Missing Maintainers )
( Non-LiveJournal Requests )
( Non-Photographic images of minors )
( Objectionable Userpic )
( Requests From Parents )
( Self Harm )
( Shared Authorization Code )
( Spam )
( Suicidal posts )
( Third-Party Requests )
( Threatening Content )
( Unwanted Friending )
Some things weren't covered that kind of concerns me. I'd like to see something about fiction, specifically saying that it's not illegal and you can't be banned for it. I'd love a way to submit complaints when you feel you've been unfairly treated by LJ (such as the issues with gay art being banned why clearly underage hetero art was passed) that doesn't require a ton of phone calls. I'd like them to define "objectionable" and to separate "adult" from "sex". Someone somewhere also needs to make a straight statement on links and how they're treated - right now we have a lot of "I think" statements, but there's nothing on it in the policy. Most of all, I'd like to see something clearly stating how and why the abuse flagging exists and how it's handled, down to and including how many flags something needs before it's investigated and some sort of indication to the content-owner. I hate having to hide my NC17 stuff behind a FLock, but I don't want people to see that damned LJ-cut either, and I know most people don't have LJs and will be really annoyed by it. But how many more people are annoyed by not seeing anything at all?
This is very clearly a work in progress, and man is there some work to be done on it! Does anyone else see anything that I missed?
