Iamthefallen's Journal: Journals now automatically submitted as stories

Per Short Circuit

And yes, if you go to the Firehose you'll see this Journal there.

I can't even begin to fathom the thought process behind this "behavior change".

Obviously journals have always been public, but now you cannot prevent an editor from taking your journal, and reposting it as an Ask Slashdot, or YRO, or whatever else they feel like. You may find yourself with a much wider audience than your intended.

So...

Sort of precludes the Friends and Friends of Friends only option a bit, doesn't it? Maybe to help ease people into possible frontpage fame I should start putting GNAA comments in everyone's JEs;-)

that's dumb

[Mantorp]

will we see my whining about my SAAB on the frontpage soon?

Well, it's in the Firehose [slashdot.org], so maybe?

sweet, where's your chocolate balls recipe?

Maybe. I voted you up. :^)

you can uncheck the option

[queenofthe1ring]

It's been there for a while, but you can uncheck it. Unchecking the option should make it stay unchecked, I guess depending on how long the cookie stays.

Re:

[Short Circuit]

Nope. Per Pudge's reply to my email [slashdot.org], those just come in at a lower score.

If anything...

[Otter]

Due to some combination of scroll wheeling and box checking, I accidentally submit about a quarter of mine anyway. But surely the editors could spend their time more usefully (reading links before posting them, for example) than wading through all the journal noise.

Poetry on the front page?

[johndiii]

That'll be the day. :-)
