Boycott! Woo!!
Sep. 9th, 2006 09:02 amDear people who have friended me:
Please do not use the new feature to track posts in my personal journal without my permission. At the moment there is no opt-out feature available to the tracking, and it's making me decidedly uncomfortable. I can't force you guys not to track me (why oh why isn't there an opt-out?) but I'm asking you in good faith not to. It's an honor thing. It's a boycott thing.
Even though I know half of my friends personally, and the other half doesn't seem the stalkery type, and I've only had one person find and comment on my LJ just to unnerve me (I love WHOIS), this feature bothers me.
Please, if this bothers you, post on it in your journal, and ask for an opt-out option on the link below.
More information on the main livejournal page and here
Honestly, I wouldn't have been as bothered by this if it were not for all of the admin people blowing off people's concerns.
