More LJ Strikethrough nonsense.

From the TOS:

Should any Content that you have authored be reported to LiveJournal as being offensive or inappropriate, LiveJournal might call upon you to retract, modify, or protect (by means of private and friends only settings) the Content in question within a reasonable amount of time, as determined by the LiveJournal staff. Should you fail to meet such a request from LiveJournal staff, LiveJournal may terminate your account.

So there's one thing. And then later:

Without limiting the foregoing(!!!!!!!!), LiveJournal and its designates shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove any content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable...

But then you've got this:

If LiveJournal determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that any user is in violation of the TOS, LiveJournal retains the right to terminate such user's account at any time without prior notice.

Don't those seem pretty contradictory in wording?

I wonder what they consider "offensive or inappropriate". Will we get deleted for fic?!

That blows.

Eventually, possibly. It all comes down to who is financially leaning on Six Apart/LJ. Like I said, if Focus on the Family (extreme right wing religious group opposing all kinds of gay everything and anything demeaning traditional family values) started leaning on 6A hard enough, it's very possible.

This sucks. Thanks for keeping me informed anyhow though. I wouldn't find out any other way. *lol*

Just wanted to make sure everybody knew! No problem, I'm glad it's appreciated.
