I apologise for going on about LiveTwitFace again.

Stay classy, LiveTwitFace:

• An LJ staffer using his staff admin powers to leave a creepy comment on a locked post (difficult, but possible; he did have database access at the time) and showing it to other staff members for their amusement.

  (He claims he didn't actually unlock the post, he just found it lying there inexplicably unlocked; given he admits the rest and has means, motive and opportunity, I find it difficult to extend him the benefit of unreasonable doubt.)

• An LJ staffer busted using a sockpuppet to troll the latest news post telling people he's going to crosspost their stuff just to piss them off. (Archive.)

People say "oh, it's all those Russians, the US LJ staff are nice people." But the actual available evidence of behaviour strongly suggests that, for your own safety, you should regard anyone who's still working for LJ as actively dangerous to your safety unless they have amazing character references and a truly spectacular excuse to still be there.

The staffer who twiddled the database to comment on a locked post is still working for them instead of his stalker ass being thrown out onto the street so hard he bounced twice. LJ allows its staff to treat your private entries as a perk of the job. Think about whether it's safe even commenting on LJ.

Update: Feel free to link this (as http://reddragdiva.dreamwidth.org/543143.html) far and wide. I posted it to Facebook and Twitter ;-)

Ohhh, I see. Then how are those people doing that, I wonder?

[reddragdiva]

By hand, I assume. I cannot imagine LJ facilitating it for DW users ...

(I could be wrong.)

[kitters]

Interesting~ Haha, yeah. Thanks, though!

If you're trying to link back to DW from LJ, the link is at the bottom of every userinfo page on DW (very convenient, I use them all the time!)

[thorfinn]

If your post is pushed from DW to LJ using the crossposter, it happily translates the <user> tags for you as it crossposts.

If you're commenting directly on LJ, no such luck.

Oh, cool to know. Thanks!

At the bottom of your profile there's a section called "Linking". The bottom one is the code you use on LJ (or any other LJ coded site) to link to DW. :)

I'd seen that on my profile page, but didn't really know what it was. Thanks a lot!

Faye is awesome, by the way. Cowboy Bebop. <3 XD /random
