Admin: List of needed posts

This is more for me than anyone else, but I'm keeping a running list here so that others can poke me to finish these posts if I do not do so in a reasonable period of time and/or suggest other needed admin posts.

- Access list only: Opt-in filters DONE!
- Definitions of Terms (either unusual phrases I use, or specifying the definition I use for a word with a controversial definition).  DONE, at least until someone gives me more things to define.
- Commenting and access policies.  DONE!
- "Suggestion Box" for topics.  DONE!
- Generalized "about me" post: one version for public posts and one for access list. PUBLIC POST MADE.

Admin: Subscription, Access and Commenting Policies

[This is an admin post. Last revision: April 7, 2009.]

If you want to subscribe to me or give me access: Feel free! No need to ask.

If you want me to subscribe to you: Generally, I will subscribe to people who have subscribed to me, unless there is something I find particularly bothersome about their journal. "Particularly bothersome" means such things as: content full of -isms and generally hateful speech, writing so far from Standard English as to be nearily incomprehensible, explicit adult content not behind cuts, or multiple large images not behind cuts. I may remove a subscription if I find that the vast majority of posts in a particular journal make my brain hurt in a bad way.

If you want access to my locked posts, I expect one of the following to be the case:

- I know you from elsewhere.
- Someone I know VERY well (like, say, my spouse, or someone I've been in-person friends with for at least a year or online friends with for several years) recommends that I add you.
- We have directly interacted one-on-one or in a community setting and it has gone well.
- We've subscribed to each other's public posts, had some exchange of comments, and that has gone well.

My opt-in filters are opt-in to anyone who has access, except if a filter is noted as being 18+, I also need to know that you are at least 18.

Generally speaking, I will set public posts to screen anonymous comments. They will be unscreened if a) they are not inflammatory and b) they are signed with some form of alias.

I reserve the right to freeze threads or to delete comments, though generally I will only delete comments if they inappropriately reveal someone's personal information or if they are from a commenter that I have previously warned to stop making problematic comments.

"Problematic comments" are comments that are obvious trolling or flamebait or that derail the discussion topic.

A reminder to check your privilege is NEVER a problematic comment.

These policies are subject to revision as needed.

Admin: Suggestion box!

If you would like to suggest a topic for me to post about, or if you have a question/comment/concern about this journal, comment to this post.  Anonymously is fine.

Please be aware that some topics, by their nature, belong in locked posts or on an opt-in filter.  If you do not have access, you will not see the response.

All comments are screened and will remain so unless specifically requested otherwise.
