I made a comment on a recently deleted mysteriously reactivated could be disappeared again without warning community this morning, so I'm reposting it here. What I said was:
Many thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
khasael and kitty_fic for caring enough about the members of the community to scramble like mad to try and save everything. I find it extremely unfair of Livejournal to have created OWNERS for communities because one dramatic hissy fit by the comm OWNER can cause them to delete an entire community of collected works.
FAIL, LJ, FAIL. This has seriously caused me to consider making shell accounts elsewhere in the event they keep coming up with bullshit rules like this. In case you have no idea what this refers to, apparently two very ACTIVE H/D COMMUNITIES were deleted by the OWNER, despite the fact that many of the contributors did not have their works posted elsewhere, and heedless of the broken links it would leave behind from rec lists and personal recommendations. In my opinion, such behavior is unconscionable. In the case of an OWNER deleting the community, the other moderators have little recourse. If there is some workaround regarding this, can someone please enlighten me? I have several fest fics that are only hosted on fest communities and now I'm making sure I have backups all over the place, just in case the unwritten laws of fandom courtesy are ignored by the community owners.
