Journal StalinsNotDead's Journal: An observation regarding the journals of friends 20
There seems to be a trend of people restricting commenting priviledges in their journals more heavily.
SolemnDragon has begun restricting comments to friends only.
And I noticed today that in this journal entry Em Emalb has restricted access to friends and friends of friends.
I haven't noticed any one else reducing the ability to comment in their journal yet.
Has Slashdot become a more hostile environment? Any thoughts as to why this might be happening?
I use the no foes restriction because I have no foes and would rather not have anonymous comments.
there are quite a few trolls out there (Score:1)
I understand why people do it, but it's not MY style.

Surprisingly, I noticed it about an hour before you posted this and changed it then.

I also set the modifier to -1 for both foes and ACs, so that I'm not tempted to take the bait (as the hook is never^Wseldom seen) in other's journals.

If anyone has anything to say in my journal they can bloody well sign their name to it.
While I haven't had a problem yet really, I like retaining the option to ban anyone who proves particularly annoying.

i didn't like it, so i made it so it couldn't happen.
i kind of look at journals as apartments. we "rent" this space from slashdot, but because we do that, doesn't mean we have to let every other tenent of the slashdot complex into our space. we are allowed to lock the doors and "invite" our guests.

Could you please give my regards (and a hug if necessary) to Ms. Dragon (and try to convince her to befriend me) and a comforting pat on kitten (I'm partial to cats, and feel bad about the recent health issues). I enjoy reading what she writes (especially the works she has done on the site she links to with "episode". I find her writings quite entertaining, the ones with good, evil, and wicked), and I do(did) occasionally comment in her journal.

No Foes (Score:2)
I use no foes simply to keep anonymous trolls out - at the moment I have no foes, although I do have a couple of freaks. I don;t particularly care who posts in my journal as long as I know who it is.
Unless someone is in your friends list explicitly and your JEs are Friends Only, there is no guarantee that you won't keep out people you don't want. If I understand the system correctly, opening to Friends of Friends can let in your foes, if you have someone foed and a friend has the same friended.

Thanks for reminding me, though. I meant to de-foe him a while back, and then forgot to do it.

about to bemoan the fact that the Dragon hasn't friended me, when I looked and I realized that I haven't friended her. And what with blinder being so helpful and encouraging about the music and all, too. I'm so embarrassed.
But it's fixed now.

I suppose I ought to do no foes to prevent ACs though cause ACs can be annoying.
