I was very late to the party. I languished in the invite queue because I could not get an invite, even though I'd been the hook for LJ codes!

I haven't seen it confirmed, but these account numbers becoming ... public, assigned? is likely a step towards setting up blocking and other features. I think if you are tech savvy and can make skins/bookmarklets these numbers will allow you to remove users from searched. The creator of Sexy Times with WangXian will no longer haunt your favorite tags.

how to make a custom site skin that removes users from your searches

[olivermoss]

Thanks for the link! I don't need it, but it's good info to pass along.

Intriguing! I wonder if this means that blocking is on the horizon? Hopefully this will improve people's experience with the archive.

[olivermoss]

Blocking and other features were announced a while ago. This is very likely the first visible step towards having blocking and other features.

[luthienberen]

Good news! I wonder what other features they'll implement alongside blocking? I still wish they could make a tag limit, but being able to block will probably sort that too.

[olivermoss]

Blocking features will make spammers vanish. I'd bet there will be shareable lists of al those 'series of drabbles' thingies designed to sit at the top of all major tags and other BS as soon as they are in place. Gaining clout by pissing off fandom will become just a bit harder. '

...now only if more of fandom realize that they are easy to troll and build clout off of

Neat!

I was later to the party than you! I was nervous about trying to return to writing fic at the time, so I kept hesitating before asking for an invite... but I finally did.

And I now discovered that I do have the fairly cool join date of 12/12/12, haha
