Code update

[mark]

Code was just updated. In particular, this update brings the alpha version (first release) of the crossposter tool. This release also brings a change to the way we do adult content to bring it more in line with our goals for the site. More information on the adult content change.

Please keep in mind that this is Closed Beta. As such, we're iterating quickly, and releasing early. There will be bugs, that's a promise.

Please let us know what issues you find so we can fix them up!

Postscript: for future reference, you might also want to bear in mind that statements about "a change to the way we do adult content" without specifying the nature of the change are liable to produce reflex panic attacks from fannish people -- I'm sure denise can explain *g*.

I'm sure you're not doing anything evil, but it's something where people can be very paranoid, because "adult content policy" so often means "sweeping you people under the rug" (see recent Amazon failitude).

So if it's just "we've tweaking the viewing options to do x and y", it really helps to say so right away.

You're absolutely right, and I'm sorry for the panic. I'll update my post.

Not a problem, I just thought it was something you should be aware of, especially as more people get accounts who don't necessarily know you or Dreamwidth's principles well, and who don't yet have a basis for trusting you. It helps if needless panic can be pre-empted *g*.
