Ugh, f-locked posts were the worst especially if the fic or whatever was linked to on a public comm. People who linked to f-locked posts on comms were fucking assholes, but at least some comms flat out prohibited it

[(Anonymous)]

UGH yes, I hated that. Why even link to a public comm then? I also hated the "this will only be available for one day before it gets locked" posts. Well, I'm sorry, but I don't check the community every day. Just keep it to your friends list.

this will only be available for one day before it gets locked

wait, what exactly is the point of that?

da

I honestly don't know, but now that they mention it I remember seeing people do it fairly often. They might just have done it as a ploy to draw in more readers in the hopes that people would be more likely to read something that was only widely available for a short period. A douchey strategy to be sure, but possibly somewhat effective

In my experience it was to get more people friending your journal thus boosting your numbers.

This happened in exactly ONE comm I belonged to. The moderator came in and said, sorry we don't allow posts pointing to fics on locked journals. Unlock it or remove your post. And that was that.

Some of the f-locking is to do with adult content.

As I understand it, LJ requires communities with adult content to f-lock mature material and to check that every member has an age statement (and is over 18!) before his or her request to join is approved.

I run a fic exchange community and it's a major pain in the arse to do -- when people don't have an age statement, I have to contact them and explain, and sometimes even tell them how to display one. But I'm basically trying to protect the comm and its archive against future trouble.

(Non-members can always access the lower rated fics & art, though).

Yeah a lot of that had to do with the big purge LJ did years ago. I can't even remember why they had to do it but I think someone complained about open adult content and scared em' enough to move to action. They deleted a lot of people right away for bad adult content then gave everyone on the site three days to mark their account as adult. Even then a lot of people didn't know and got deleted. It scared people enough to start locking stuff up after that.
