Dear LJ in general:

I hope you realize that a lot of your site's users are in fandom. A lot. They also do this thing called "shipping", which basically means you pair (or put in groups of two or more) characters together and write romantic stories. These pairings are denoted by slashes: i.e., /. You do realize that by removing those from your acceptable tags, that you've just royally screwed up any community that uses them? As well as the writers, who tag their stories this way? And that many fans stay on LJ because of the fandom?

Well done, LJ. Nicely done.

And it's annoying me by posting WOULD YOU LIKE TO POST THIS ON FACEBOOK AND/OR TWITTER on EVERY SINGLE COMMENT.

eljay you fail. It's over. I'm leaving you. :(

Apparently they're also letting comments to flocked posts be posted as well? It kind of defeats the purpose of the flock in the first place.

Yes, it is. I'm typing up a GOODBYE ELJAY YOU FAIL post at the moment. So grumpy.

Icon is appropriate. (WHY do they not ask lj users before implementing stuff? It would save them the *checks the news post again* approximately two thousand comments that are angry at the new features).
