There has apparently been confusion.

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.

Just wanted to say hi and thanks for clearing that up! I was trying to figure out where I knew from for a while yesterday :]

no problem! it took a nasty-gram on the previous entry to make me realize that i should post about it in THIS journal too.

Oh well... i'm glad they DID say something, cause now i can un-confuzzle ALL the members. :D

Hi to you too!

I was wondering why I was being added..hehe. and here I thought I was cool enough to be added to ur f-list *sniffles and goes to write about the angst in her her journal* ;)

[xerahanadu.livejournal.com]

awww!! do not angst, mandy! what if you were to cry and cry so much that you made a river and flooded out all the neighbors then got sued for getting everyone's sock drawers wet?! It would be all my fault. Please do not wet all those socks, Mandy! Think of the Children!

[mandy-nyar.livejournal.com]

oh no! and then the dryers would be overworked from having to quickly dehydrate the socks causing a power outage that puts many people in an incovenient situation. I had no idea writing angst could cause such horrible conquences in my lj..I'm sorry children and my pocketbook!

Yes, that person telling you off anonymously made me snort. Honestly...

if they really thought i was attention-whoring, i can see why they'd be snarky about it. I do hope the whole thing is settled to their satisfaction now though. I don't really know what else ta do for them.
