new game!

So we've done the 'what would be your crap xmen power' - here's a new one someone at work has some up with -

"who would be in your crime solving/world saving team?"

I haven't thought enough about it yet to have a whole team, but here is my colleague's:

Angus MacGyver for his skills with old bean tins
The Face for his long-con abilities
Miss Marple for the same reason as you picked Columbo₁ and to give the element of surprise
Jean Luc Picard for leadership
Xena, warrior princess , for a bit of muscle
Adam Ant for cool outfits
Wolverine , for growling

_{1 - the only person I've chosen so far - and because he always knows who did it. And probably because in Columbo In The Future has his false eye fitted with LAZERS or something.}

SO.

"who would be in your crime solving/world saving team?"

No fewer than 4, (because a trio/duo isn't a team) not more than 8, (because more than 8 is just daft) and no two from the same show/comic/book etc...

A letter to a moderator of a fiction community, from LJ Abuse.

We recognize that many people list these types of interests for shock value, as a method of expressing opposition for these illegal activities, or to indicate fictional activity. Unfortunately, the Abuse team does not have any discretion in these cases; if a journal profile contains interests that support illegal activity, we must suspend the journal. Journals, on the other hand, may express or imply interest in illegal activity or express or imply a desire to meet and/or interact with others with similar interests, but only if the journal clearly (1) is in opposition to or condemnation of the illegal activity, (2) does not encourage the illegal activity and (3) is not used in furtherance of any illegal activity.

I do recognize that your community account may not necessarily be the type of content that this policy is directly intended to remove from LiveJournal. Unfortunately, as I've mentioned, the Abuse team has no discretion in how these instances must be handled. Because your account was reported to us, and because it contained illegal activities in your interests list, we must permanently suspend it.

Apparently, LOADS of communities and some users have been deleted due to having 'incest' on their interests list. Including ones for incest victims...

SO - have you got anything illegal on your interest list?

And i'm opening to books on how long before die_paulo_die is deleted.

EDIT - i've added links to all this in the comments. I was going to post about it earlier, but wrote it off as rumour... After all, rumour powers the internet - am i right?

EDIT - Warriors for justice have claimed they'e protected THOUSANDS of children from VICIOUS CHILD RAPISTS that LJ has been PROTECTING all these years. They're claiming that hundreds of journals have been shut down (but conveniently not mentioning how many probably shouldn't have been...)

Check out WFJ lovely little graphic on their blog:


They'll be after the violent porn brigade next...

edit: I am merely the messenger, and will not get into some fucking idiotic debate about whether this is 'actually' happening. If you're interested, read the links. If not, don't. I didn't start the rumour, so if you want to be 'well prove it', well, i don't have to. Read the fucking links and decide for yourself, ok?
