oloriel | Great, just what we need. A disclaimer post.

Jumping onto the bandwagon because it's all the rage at the moment...

I assume that it goes without saying, but, just in case:

If you want to quote something I post on LJ - whether entry or comment - elsewhere for whatever reason, please ask first. Yes, even if it is an open post. No exceptions. I don't want to have to find out after a few weeks that, I dunno, some hypothetical rant about my hypothetical boss has been shared on Facebook (ugh).
The same goes for cross-posting or even just linking on any platform outside LJ. I'd like to have the option of deciding myself whether I want a link to my journal in some entry on Facebook, Twitter, or deviantArt, Dreamwidth, MeinVZ or anywhere else for that matter.
Real names are right out anyway.
And please, no crossposting of your comments to my LJ posts, either. I don't even see how that makes sense. I think it's a shitty feature and should not be used.

Thank you.

We now return to your regularly scheduled chaos.
