More on LJ deletions

[briarwood]

They just posted that fandom and fiction LJs that were deleted will be restored. Good news!

On the other hand, innocence_jihad collected a list of deleted journals and comms in this post. A quick glance down the list shows the freaking huge number of unnecessary deletions (they're the ones with no strikethrough).

Oh, boy, did they screw this one up!

Heads need to roll in their abuse and pr departments. If these guys are running a business they need to look at some 'best practice' books. Is it correct that something as vital and sensitive as LJ Abuse is being staffed with their volunteer workers? Because if it is, no wonder this little debacle occurred.

I'm told a lot of people pre-empted LJ and deleted their own journals first (after backing them up) as partly a protest and partly to protect their journal (no, I didn't understand it either) so it's possible that that deleted list is not 100% journals that LJ-abuse deleted ... just saying ...

At least that BB guy is admitting it - I am so used to people in power refusing to take blame that I was almost charmed by his response.
