EDIT: The number of these 'gifts' is a bit too large to be a random occurance. Planned attack, anyone?

EDIT 2: Community's back to moderated posting and membership. Don't we all love maturity in opposition?

Like five of my friends (most of which had very slightly questionable stuff on their Interests) got some today.

...isn't there a way to delete that? I mean, it'll be an issue of privacy soon enough and LJ will have to swoop in with cease-and-desist.

Most of the LJ staffers are buried in an avalanche of Pepsi, and unless they want to remain that way, they'll have to come up with something.

I tried. No signs of deletion capabilities. -_-;

Block? Filter? Would ban_set work?

Adblock doesn't work for free gifts.

FAQ #262 Paid and Permanent Accounts: You will never see ads on LiveJournal, even when viewing a Plus account's journal, as long as you're logged in.

http://www.livejournal.com/paidaccounts/ At least in the finnish version "no ads" is listed as a feature of a paid account. They sell a "no ads" feature.

Do you know what a TOS is? When you signed up you agreed to it, regardless of what their advertizing told you. Maybe next time you will read what you are agreeing to before you buy something.

When I got my first LJ, there were a lot fewer things in the TOS than there are now. When did LJ notify users of the changes? Oh, wait -- they didn't. They're lucky no one's tried reporting them for that since refusing to inform users of changes to the TOS before the changes take effect is illegal.

I'm pretty positive it's a planned attack. If the LJ staffers get it, it's only a matter of time, right?

Is there a way to discuss this with you personally, ie through email? I've got mine listed in the profile if you don't want to write yours in a comment.
