In Soviet LJ, Overused Catchphrase Creates YOU!

Because it can only get funnier: A growing list of blocked search strings on LJ.

The censorship (apparently started by 6 Apart before they turned the service over to our new fur-hatted overlords) is implemented so that anyone who wants to join a Maine Coon community, meet up with fellow employees of the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain, or trade gossip about the Spice Girls is basically SOL. The examples of censored terms get more and more lurid and awesome as you go along: "Children's Choral Groups" and "Family Morals?" Do read the link, it's a hoot.

Lots of paranoia ever since they made it possible to flag other users and posts, too, but I haven't heard much about the specifics yet.

This is so much more epic and cool than Boldface 07. The members are losing their shit.

The Hilarity of Six Apart

Six Apart staff member (previously mocked for her stance on pro-anorexia as harmless diet plan) gets all cute and coy about 6A reporting slashy underage fanart to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

What a dick move, 6A. I'm sure the NCMEC is glad to have you abusing their limited resources and trivializing the molestation of actual living children just to prove a point. Would telling your fantards "OUR EVERY WHIM IS LAW WHILE YOU ARE USING LJ, SO EITHER DEAL WITH IT OR LEAVE" have been too straightforward or something?

Professor Snape boning Harry Potter: serious fucking business.
