cranky
newsI want to update you on the status of correcting the issues that occurred earlier this week:
First, all journals and communities that were suspended that did not clearly violate community policies have been restored. Over the weekend and into the next couple of weeks we will be doing the following:
- We will contact each user whose journal was both suspended and then restored to explain how they were swept up in this and to work with them to avoid further difficulties. We expect that effort to start Monday and take several days.
- We will be compiling and reviewing the input we have received as comments, voicemails and faxes, that made suggestions about how we could improve our policies and procedures.
- Using this input as well as input from outside groups, such as the EFF, we will review and possibly redefine some of our policies.
- Then we will review the procedures we use to implement our policies and the standard communications we use in the implementation of those policies.
- We will also review all of our abuse procedures and standard communications to users to see if we can do a better job in dealing with abuse issues.
As I said before, we have a lot of work to do. We are trying hard to keep LJ a community where free speech and the protection of children and victims and others can coexist. We appreciate your input in this process.
The actual post, along with comments, if you wish to read them can be found here.
