charmianRegarding the situation with the LJ staff member posted about earlier:
The person whose entry was commented on by the LJ staff member,vulva, discussed the situation further here, and also pasted in the response LJ had to her complaint.
(BTW, apparently the comment the staff member left was "hi. *eyes open wide*
I'm watching." On an entry with a photograph of the journal owner and another person. That's not only breaking whatever policy they have of commenting on user journals, but damn creepy also.)
I'm somewhat surprised that LJ took an entire month to given any kind of response to a matter as serious as staff misconduct (as even in LJ's version of events, the staff member acted wrongly). Anyway, from this new info, what is definitely known is that when the staff member commented on the entry, its security status was public; however, it was not supposed to be so, according to the journal owner, and was still locked a week prior to the commenting.
Also, LJ's response to her letter seems to reference an entirely different entry, because the entry in question never had a 'friends only' banner, and the friends-only banner post appears to be still public on her journal.
Anyway, what I still find very bizarre is that multiple staff members witnessed this incident. Especially since this was known to multiple staff members at the time of the incident, why is it that it still took LJ a month to respond? It appears that LJ only got around to sending a detailed response aftervulva commented in the news post.
