Heads up..

There's a poll re the recent FB/Twitter feature.

HERE

Will LJ listen? I suppose if enough people make their feelings known they might. They'd be wise to I reckon.

There's are lot of discontent being voiced on their announcement post also.

This link is also interesting. This shows how it could work.

Hmm... is there something we (as in the mods) can do at sceneit to ensure this can happen? We are about to post a reminder about a few things, would you like us to add a note about turning the feature off when replying to clip requests?

Is it something the comm can do? I'm not so technical about this stuff but if we can make it safer for people posting then we'll do whatever we can.

At this time, with everything up in the air and changing, I don't think there's much you can do. The comm can't turn the feature on or off it's up to the individual poster.

A general post pointing out the problems with the feature being enabled when replying to locked posts would help I'm sure in the short term and long term in reassuring us posters that we're as safe as we can possibly be, I'm sure a lot who think the feature is a good idea haven't really thought it through for what it might entail for others.

I'm not even sure if the automatic feature is available on flocked posts or whether it's still an extra choice you have to make, but it would certainly help for the comm itself to ask posters not to cross replies and if it's ok with you guys I think for a while I would ask again on each of my clip posts - until things are more sorted, just to feel safe you know?

Thanks hon, thanks very much.

That won't be a problem at all. :)

I will talk to the other mods and see if we can make a post about it.

Cheers hon.
