I vaguely recalled from The TOS (terms of Satan) something about not being allowed to block ads if your journal is supposed to see them. Ok, here's the relevant extract:

ADVERTISEMENTS AND PROMOTIONS

You understand and agree that some or all of the Service may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for LiveJournal to provide the Service. You also understand and agree that you will not obscure any advertisements from general view via HTML/CSS or any other means. By using the Service, you agree that LiveJournal has the right to run such advertisements with or without prior notice, and without recompense to you or any other user. The manner, mode and extent of advertising by LiveJournal on your Content and throughout the Service are subject to change at LiveJournal's discretion.


I'm not absolutely *certain* but I believe this means that if they catch you using Ad-Block to avoid seeing ads it would be considered a violation of TOS and therefore your journal(s) would be up for immmediate deletion.

(note: They mention it *again* under Member Conduct of things you are Not Allowed to Do:
#17 Employ tactics to prevent the full and complete display of advertisements on LiveJournal pages. These include, but are not limited to, making journal style changes, customizations, or overrides that effectively block or substantially impair the display of advertisements on a Plus account's Content or other pages within the Service.)

Please be discreet about it if you *are* using Ad-block. People even mentioned it on the official News posts. Not a good idea.

Also, if you have several journals, and not all contain 'iffy' content, it's a good idea to make sure the 'innocent' ones do not share an email address with the problematic one. LJ's latest trick *seems* to be removing all journals registered under the same email if any one of them is 'permanently suspended'.

You can change the email notification for all your accounts here:

Hopefully, that's enough. I couldn't find any other place to change the email for communities I'd set up. It's possible they're *registered* under the original email somewhere else- if so, I haven't found a way to access it.

Had a lot of yard work to do, so no time for any handmade art. I snapped some random photos while I was in the yard & then photofiddled them.
