This won't end well.
LJ FINALLY speaks.

It's already got a troll in writerspleasure, calling all the people posting serious questions/comments "whiners" and four(!) pages of comments so far.

Highlights in the post include a fauxpology for burr86's wanky comments, LJ still doesn't understand that Federal law doesn't cover depictions of fictional children in sexual situations and a lot of re-stating what they've said before.

Edit: Well, this is an interesting revelation. Actually, there are several members of various fandom communities involved on the review board, as well as the Abuse Prevention Team itself.

And this list of official statements made by LJ staff in the "clarification" lj_biz post should bear watching.

Edit 2: coffeechica is talking with LJ users in stupid_free here. Odds on how long before it gets deleted? Anyone? Anyone? ...Bueller?

...and LJ/6A employees can't even come up with their own boilerplate responses, because rachel (she of the icon where she's posing with a big glass of beer) plagarized a LJ user's comment to use as her own.

Oh, and the lj_biz post has maxed out at 5000 comments in about sixteen hours, which is a new record, I believe. People are going back to the previous lj_biz post to leave comments there, I think.

Edit 3: Godwin's was reached on page 17 of the lj_biz post. (Thanks to [info]khym_chanur for the link.)

The current lj_biz post has made cNet.

The whole thing has been covered by German news magazine Der Spiegel. And a translation. (Thanks to [info]airborne_rodent for those links.)

Slashdot covers it, too. As does Digg. (Thanks to [info]utahraptor for the Digg link.)

Edit 4: Our own [info]cat_mcdougall wrote up a semi-editorial article here. As she says, the "Fandome" is them editing my article.

I object to your use of ":(". I do not believe you are taking this issue seriously and considering the views of the opposing party, which are as follows: "):".

Please revise your comment to either include this information, or to make it clear that you disapprove of this kind of content.

Thank you for your help in this issue.

Dear Valued Chart Observer,

We here at Fail Charts Unlimited recognize your use of ): but we it is part of our Chart Making policy to not condone activities which encourage the exploitation or harm of minors. You can clearly see that "):" looks far younger than ":(" . ":(" is now official policy and the use of "):" will be grounds to ban you from use of our images.

Yours,
Fail Charts Unlimited

Dear Rude Stranger,

We here at Fail!Charts Unlimited resent the implication that we are failing more than Fandom is. We further post that that level of Fail (Fail which surpasses the Pit of Fail Fandom has buried itself in) does not and can not exist in this form of time space. We request that you kindly cease and desist defaming us.

Sincerely,
Fail! Charts Unlimited

P.S.

Dear Fail! Charts Unlimited,

I am confused by your recent letter and the suggestion that I am implying that you fail. I am not implying any such thing. I would like to clarify, for the record, that your company and staff are MADE OF FAIL, and will state so explicitly in the future as to avoid misunderstanding on the subject.

I also feel it is my duty as a citizen of this great and free country to inform you that I have reported your behavior to the Better Business Bureau. Your customer support has been sorely lacking and I do not appreciate the mocking tone of your replies. Hopefully this will shame you into reforming your policies on customer relations.

Sincerely,
Dissatisfied Former Customer

P.S.

For some reason my brain always adds an extra "i" to "doctorites", making it pronounced "doctoriteeeeeeeez". Tis make me giggle.
