fic_rush | FYI on Facebook, Twitter, et al

Let us all thank the marvelous

kirsty841 , who pointed me towards the code to turn off the damned ticky boxes for cross-posting comments to Twitter and Facebook.

I have used it to turn off the feature in my own journal, and in all the comms I moderate, including this one and the

fic_rush_48 comm. Also

rda_daily and

macgyverdeleted .

If anyone is actually displeased by this -- you wanted to be able to cross-post -- well, PM me and we'll talk. But with any of the comms, you'll have to talk very convincingly. Each of us has to make our own decisions about privacy and public exposure, but I don't feel that any of us has the right to make that decision for others. As far as I'm concerned, if a post in a comm is cross-posted, that exposes everyone in the comm, and the others didn't have a say in the decision of the cross-poster.

Okay, <end> soapbox mode.

I'll post the results of the poll to pick our next 'rush weekend later today. I will, of course, cross-post it to Facebook, Twitter, National Geographic, and assorted tabloids, as well as chiseling it onto a monolith on the surface of Mars. But only if everyone who's ever posted to the comm agrees retroactively, after having taken a ride back in time to leave their decision in a time capsule in my bottom desk drawer.

*checks drawer*

Nope, nothing. Oh, well.
