Name/Alias: Hannah / Mondai Senshi Journal name:mondaisenshi Location(optional): New York, USA Comment(optional): Livejournal has been my home away from home for the past year or so. It's a place where I can make friends with whom I can truly connect. I look upon Livejournal and the communities therein as a safe haven, to truly express myself, to share the fruits of my creative labor. It's not fair that a prude so-called "organization" takes that all away from the countless members being banned and the countless more whose favorite community no longer exists. If they cannot trust their children online, or if they cannot supervise their children, they should simply filter the offending web sites. Furthermore, even if you do remove all offending accounts, which may be nearly impossible considering the unrealistic standards being enforced, more will only be made to replace them. Anyway, if what I read is true, and you are concerned about what advertisers will think, it cannot help if your website loses half of its visitors due to being banned. If you want to keep this site friendly for children, maybe you could enforce a rating system, instead, and block the more graphic communities and journals from younger members and guests. I believe that this approach would be just as effective, without enraging members, free and paid accounts, alike.
Please, please stop closing accounts and communities. They mean a lot to me.
