Oh, for Heaven's Sake...

Dear 6A/LJ,

When I said I wanted clarification of your policies, this was not what I meant.

I meant clarification, not "the ToS hasn't really changed" followed by a bunch of vague statements that still doesn't actually say anything and still doesn't clarify what is and is not acceptable on LJ.

In case you're wondering, the issue is all about how you are interpreting the ToS. Since we can't read minds, we need you to tell us point blank. Which you're not.

And no, we're not whining. This is what happens when your user base has stopped trusting you. We're looking for loopholes where you could conceivably screw us over. This is about protecting ourselves, which obviously clashes with your need to protect your interests.

Really, the comments to the post say it better than I can at this point.

Look, answers in blunt English would be good here. Even if they're answers I don't like, something more than these vague statements and transparency that's about as transparent as mud is not an answer.

*throws up hands*

So much for that clarification...

However, Barak is the CEO of 6A, he's the top guy and if he decides that interests = like, then that's how it is and it's how LJ abuse will have to interpret it, regardless of what Burr86 or anyone else at LJ might think or want to do.

Also, they blame the strikethrough primarily on miscommunication - that's still an ongoing problem, apparently. They have got to get on the same page with the same definitions of terms and give us plain answers. So far I haven't seen many. :(

Somebody needs to write up a guidance document that spells all the definitions and rules. Then they should get everyone to sign off on it.

By and large, I'm not in love with extra paperwork, but sometimes you just gotta do it so that everyone is talking about the same thing.

And I still want a list of things that 6A is "unwilling" to host, because no matter how you slice it, it's not a legal term.
