PLEASE don't spam this post with comments - otherwise the whole coupon marketplace idea won't work. [20 Dec 2009|05:01pm] must_be_pop [valo] Happy holiday season everyone! First of all, by popular demand: A Poll Historically, people have been allowed to pick their replacement in MBP. It made a lot of sense in the Dark Ages of MBP, circa 2001-2005, when we had no registration process, so people would say "Okay, I've been kind of inactive and this person really wants the role, so I'm handing it over." That way, we'd know who was supposed to go on the masterlist. It still sort of makes sense sometimes, because people tend to care about their former roles even when the stop playing. At the same time, it makes no sense whatsoever in some cases, when people just hold grudges against someone and say they want to "pick replacement" while in fact, they just want to keep another person from playing the role. What do you think? Or not at all? Please vote. Thank you. Poll #1501301 Choosing Replacement Open to: Friends, detailed results viewable to: None, participants: 115 Should players be allowed to choose their replacements? Yes, until the former impersonation journal hits six weeks. (i.e. if the player keeps updating: forever) 15 (13.0%) Yes, for six weeks (starting on the day they are closing shop). 36 (31.3%) Yes, for two weeks (starting on the day they are closing shop). 16 (13.9%) Yes, if they comment with the journal user name of the new impersonation immediately. (i.e. "I am closing and handing my role over to xyz") 17 (14.8%) No. 31 (27.0%) Other (comment with suggestions.) 0 (0.0%) Just to clear this up: The poll is a rule-changing poll, which means that whatever is decided here will go into the rules. The poll will be up for two weeks starting today, until January 3rd, 2010. Privacy Livejournal has this cool new feature called "My Guests", which shows who visits your journal. If you do not wish to be seen in a statistic like that, you can disable the feature. Go to http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=privacy and scroll all the way to the bottom, then make sure the box next to "My Guests" is UNTICKED ("I want to use My Guests to see who visits my journal and to be visible when visiting other journals and communities."). While you're there, you can also make sure that "Search Inclusion" ("Minimize my journal's inclusion in search engine results.) and "Comment Search Inclusion" ("Minimize my comment's inclusion in search engine results" are both TICKED. And that your "IP Address Logging" setting says: "Log IP addresses of nobody."

Clone Wars It has been suggested that we post a list of clones from now on, so you wonderful people know who's official and who isn't. We can't do that without your help, though. So please, if you know about any clones, comment with their usernames. For example, Peter Tork is officially torkp. We know that he has a clone, so if you know any Peter Tork who is not torkp, then that other guy is a clone. Again, torkp is the official Peter Tork. LJ Holiday Coupons Ryan Jarman (thank you!) posted here about a special holiday promotion: LJ is giving every Paid or Permanent account holder ten free $10 coupons for the holidays. There are a few requirements, though: Those coupons only work when you purchase a FULL year of paid account. And they only work on accounts that are NOT paid/permanent through January 15th. ( In LJ speak ) I have coupons to give away. Who else does? Let's make this a market place: Comment if you want one, so someone can send it your way. (Remember your paid account must run out on January 15th latest!) And also comment if you have some to give away, so people can request them from you. Please comment to people if you're giving them coupons, so they don't get multiples. 39 comments|post comment
