Re: rumor control

The other frustrating thing is that with the journals deleted, there's really nothing left to evaluate. :/ FWIW, I haven't been able to actually confirm the allegations of incest survivor journals being banned -- a couple of the "news aggregator" posts have made the assertion, but they may just be passing it back and forth. The Nabokov community, OTOH, I can find you a specific journal name, but there was only one I know of so far, and its subject matter is still only hearsay.

OTOH, the purgation of wholly fictional journals based entirely on the listing of "interests advocating criminal behavior" or something of the kind is confirmed. There was at least one Severus Snape RP journal that listed a bunch of nasty stuff that got nailed despite a clear disclaimer that all its activities were fictional. I've also seen one post so far of a reply from LJAbuse that was pretty unrepentant about saying, essentially, "yeah, we know it's fictional, but it's still against the TOS 'cause it still advocated criminal behavior; sorry to ruin your creative expression, but we just don't care."

Again, further details about any of this available as soon as I shouldn't be running off to work. :)
