recent spam

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Just to let everyone know that I recently deleted a post that I categorised both as spam and offensive - offensive is subjective, spam is not, as the user in question had recently joined dozens if not hundreds of fannish communities and posted same there. Since there was a general feeling in the comments of said post that the entry should be deleted, and since I waited what I feel was a reasonable length of time to give the user in question the chance to defend the post (for the record, sie refused to engage on this or any other issue) after consulting with conuly I decided immediate deletion was appropriate.

This comm is not a democracy; however, I welcome discussion about this, as ideally it is a benevolent dictatorship rather than a tyranny. The user in question is not blocked, and YW-related promotion is still broadly permissable; comm rule broken was spamming.
