Watching Out for Friends

Particularly for friends with mysteriously suspended accounts.

I just found out about [livejournal.com profile] rfmcdpei. I know of no reason for his account to be suspended. For the record, I have no problems with his conduct on Livejournal or anywhere else.

I've seen a lot of those, though most of the ones I saw were people who had simply stopped posting; once some amount of time goes by, they delete you.

In this case, he hasn't stopped being active online. But his account - despite being regularly used here - has been suspended. I know he's active elsewhere on the Web, and have e-mailed him for his POV on the situation. If it's something he's willing to have shared, I'll pass it along.

Active very recently - he linked to a post of mine a few days ago. I notice that his comments are still visible, but none of his posts are.

That's normal for LJ.

His comments on my post are missing. I get the message "You are not authorized to see this comment" in my notifications.

I didn't even get to watch the music video he left me yesterday. It's gone.

Noticed that. Distressing, to be mild about it.

For anyone wondering, here's a blog he cross-posts to:

The video is relevant here, too. :-)

I am back. I was suspended by an anti-spam bot, for the second time in as many weeks. I've since been restored and informed that my account has been flagged so this won't happen again.

A nice post it was, too.

Thank you for the concern! Which account did you e-mail?

[identity profile] dewline.livejournal.com 2014-12-11 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Your GMail account.

Perhaps he said something bad about Putin?

[identity profile] dewline.livejournal.com 2014-12-11 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
He's certainly been pointing out other things said about Mr. Putin by people that said Russian president would be ill-disposed towards his own fellow Russians noticing.
