We've got some exciting updates this week, so sit tight and we'll get started. Of course, news would not be complete without a special gift from Frank. It appears that he neglected to celebrate birthdays this month. So, in the spirit of better late than never, please rip a zippy yippee if you were born in August, and Frank'll send you a ginger

Using a different account here, I don't want to be too all over the place.

Okay.

It's been said before: gay porn. Sex. Fanfic, fanart, etc.

Last night, I made an RP post, and got a pingback saying someone had cross-posted a comment. It wasn't an innocent, comment. It was a very very non-innocent comment, and with the subject line talking about the character in question not wanting to have sex, and with it being cross-posted, I have to ask:

So those screencaps people have been posting, the ones that have the Big Brother eyeball saying in an Orwellian Society come true, "We will find out who you are."

So, uhm. My personal journal, if you can find my Facebook info, and that can be posted under my legal name, I don't mind it that much. My subject lines are basically all lyrics or what have you. But if I'm on an rp account, does facebook still have the ability to "find" my legal name and post shit under that

Yes. There is no distinction.

Oh well, that's just fucking great. Jesus Christ. Can you imagine a post entitled something like "if you can't keep it in the pants, keep it in the family - George/Fred Weasley NC-17, Rape, Incest, Mindfuck over all."

I am so glad I'm out of like every fandom I was ever in.

You'd have to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to realize the amount of smut games out there. I mean, seriously. I have friends who do some heavy hardcore smutting, from vanilla to bondage to knife or gunplay, from any fetish ever, even to rape equaling in death. Why...I cannot fathom how LJ could possibly do this to us. Those graphs that have been made are astoundingly true.

If I delete my Facebook, would I have this issue? Because I only use it to keep up with high school buddies, and they're all very religious. And. No. Just. No thank you.

The problem is that anybody can post a comment that they write on any of your entries to FB or Twitter. This includes your locked posts. So you can delete your Facebook and it will prevent FB associating your FB name with your LJ accounts but it doesn't prevent the information about your account from getting out there on those networking sites.

Bah. I figured as much. I'm more worried about my friends in smut games, to be honest. It seems everyone I know in lala Rp Land ignores things like this, so I just made a post on my journal about it. Hopefully it draws their attention, because I do NOT want to see my friends distraught because their mom saw a link to their locked and or not locked gay pretendy fun times and they've been destroyed. You know?

If you want to link your friends to a good explanation of the problems of this feature, you might post a link to this:

I found it a pretty good explanation aimed at anyone who might be thinking "oh, I don't have to worry about this." :)

[ext_245632]

I understand.

Wait, was the pingback notif saying someone posted it to facebook? Or had they just linked it to an entry of theirs on their RP account?

I thought the pingback bot only notified you if someone linked your public entries elsewhere on LiveJournal.
