Clarification:

marinessOver the last few weeks, and possibly longer, Livejournal has been doing two things:
1) Not alerting me to comments left on my Livejournal, on an entirely inconsistent basis.
2) Screening comments, understandably leading people to assume that I've started screening comments on the blog. Also mostly randomly although apparently leaving links to other sites may trigger this. (On the other hand, some perfectly link free comments have also been screened.)
3) Not accepting people's comments, leading people to think I've banned them from my LJ.
So let me be clear. Since 2003 I have banned a grand total of two people from my Livejournal, both for heavy spamming, after I'd already reported them to LJ.
And that's been it.
Admittedly, I've been lucky -- comments here, with only a few exceptions, have generally been polite and friendly, so I really haven't had the need to ban anyone. And even with the exceptions -- well, let's face it. This is the internet. It happens.
But even with those comments, right now my policy is, as long as you aren't spamming me or saying really mean things about my poetry, we're good. And if I ever am inclined to ban someone, that person will know.
