If you haven't heard already there's a response to the recent journal suspensions in [livejournal.com profile] news. Do I wish there was a response earlier? Yes, but let's face it, LJ was fucked no matter what they did, especially since they suspended one of the heavyweights in a huge fandom. While I don't like saying it, I doubt the response would have been quite so large and angry, if fandom hadn't been hit.

I do appreciate, however, that they did make a statement.

Also...is it horrible that I'm considering a permaccount? Not because I've had my faith renewed in LJ/6A, I want to see more on this suspension issue, and have things clarified, but...the exchange rate right now is really good. I've spent more than holy shit 400 USD on LJ. Most in gifts, granted, but 100 USD or so was for me, and I kinda want a permaccount, because of the Canadian Dollar drops (which it probably will in the coming years), I don't want to feel like I'm paying 50 CAD/year for my journal, you know? I'd rather pay the 160-170 CAD (depending on the exchange rate I get) now.

Yay!

As promised below we have reviewed the journals that have been suspended and are now in the midst of unsuspended about half of them.
The class of suspensions that are being reversed are;
1. All Fandom journals
2. All fiction journals
3. All journals who that had problems in their profile only

Are large number of journals that are clear violations of our policies will remain suspened.

I will write a post in more detail soon but I wanted to get this up now as promised.

We are truly sorry for the mess, we have more work yet to do.

So..from the sounds of things [livejournal.com profile] pornish_pixies will be coming back. *knocks on wood* (and yeah, I'm totally adding this on the end so when I refresh I can see that strike out disappear...eventually)

ETA: YAY! IT'S BACK. ONTO THE FANTASY FEST.
