I Know I Don't Need to Say This...

[jjpor]

...because you on my flist are all sensible people, but you see those tick-boxes that appear now when you post a comment, asking you whether you want to cross-post to Facebook and/or Twitter? Please don't cross-post anything on my lj to either of those places, will you? Or I'll be Very Upset, and you wouldn't want to see me Very Upset, would you??

Amazing how many people are saying "I don't/shouldn't need to say this" and yet are saying it...

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I wasn't going to, but seeing it about a hundred times on my flist this past day or so has made me paranoid...

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Interesting. Seeing it so often has made me not bother!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Heh. Well, that's me all over, you see... ;D

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

[primsong.livejournal.com]

Paranoia definitely has a legitimate place in this world - and this is one of them. Gack gack on LJ for even making it necessary.

I know when you put something on the internet you can't stop people from reading it, but I like to keep track of exactly where my words might be showing up on the interwebs...I'm old-fashioned like that... ;D

I'm hoping that the repetition will drill it into people's brains and make it stick.

Not that it will save anyone from ticky boxes clicked accidentally...

Though, I recommend this if you have a plus/paid account: http://lupinity87.livejournal.com/9308.html

Thanks - I'd already seen a version of that workaround and put it on my Personal and Fic LJs (and passed it on to various of my Flist too) via comments and Twitter...

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

True. Very true indeed. And I don't have a paid account, but I will bear it in mind in any case. :)

[clocketpatch]

It works with plus accounts as well, which are also free but require you to stare at adverts (which isn't actually a problem if you use adblock)

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what kind of account I've got, probably the cheapest and most low-rent one available... ;D

(thanks for the PM, by the way!)

Well, I'm on neither Facebook nor Twitter, so everyone's safe from my accidentally crossposting stuff there while stupid-tired and clumsy... but someone with accounts there could do it to me, right? Yuck.

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. It is a disquieting prospect, isn't it?

You want a Dreamwidth invite code? Some of the best evil geniuses have back-up plans.

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...I haven't really bothered up to now, but as you say always useful to have a Plan B...

[evilawyer.livejournal.com]

I'll send one along now. (Sorry, I took yesterday off from computers.)

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Oh no, you're all right - I've obtained one off Clocketpatch in the meantime. Thanks for the thought, but save it for more deserving parties... :D

[evilawyer.livejournal.com]

Ah, well. I was too busy sending you one to pick up your reply off my e-mail. Discard it as you wish --- I've still got 12 to give out and will probably be sending them all back to Dreamwidth's "code-sharing" community.

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Oh no worries - I probably should have held my fire and waited for yours instead of grabbing one off Clocket when she was offering them around... But thanks anyway! And there might be someone else out there who wants it... :)

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Yes...

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Oh-kay...
