BUZZ BUZZ Once There Was...

I moderate a closed community. I attempted to make a private and members-only art gallery that would be hosted here on lj. There are apparently few ways to filter people who are not friended to your account.

I added the members from my community (yes, all 120+ of them) to my flist, assuming (my fault, i know) that lj had a function that allowed you to put a default filter on your flist. Something that would insure i could still keep up with the friends who weren't in the community, but guarantee my community members access to the gallery.

This was not so.


So, if you'd been friended to this journal and then UN-friended, it was not a personal slight.

It was not some plea for attention.

It was b/c both the gallery and the friends-list consisting of community members were moved to a different account. That account is not used. So I will not suddenly be privy to your lj-lives merely b/c we share a community of common interests. I will not miss posts by folks who know me b/c my page is flooded with community members i do not know so well.


The gallery is visible now to the group, and the privacy of my members maintained.


If you are one of the people involved and don't care whether or not you can see the gallery, please let me know! This was not to upset anyone. I will gladly make the changes that are required to make people comfortable.

Thank you.
