Mod Post: Maintenance update

[blackbird-song.livejournal.com]

Hello all,

In light of recent incidents on LJ of malware being posted in videos and links, I've toggled the moderation settings so that non-whitelisted outside links will go into the moderation queue. I'm going to see how this goes for a week or so, as I have some down time during which I can monitor things and respond quickly. If this proves burdensome to the community or to me, I'll change it back.

I have also removed one suspended and a number of purged accounts from the membership list. I plan to do this every couple of months, as time permits. I did not, to the best of my care and knowledge, remove any accounts listed simply as "Deleted". If I have removed you in error, please let me know as soon as you can so that I can correct my procedure. Membership isn't moderated, of course, so you can rejoin without my say-so.

Your Friendly Comm Owner,
Catherine
