I hate the damn things. I don't necessarily read subject lines, so I can spend quite a while trying to make sense of the piece of crap before realising it's yet another tedious bloody auto-post.

What even is it? Why would people want to press whatever button creates this gibberish? What benefit does it have? I'm so confuzzled.

Hateful. Vile. *is cranky*

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's getting cranky about the whole thing. I spent a few minutes last night trying to figure out a fic that someone seemed to have posted, wondering if she was trying a new format. Argh.

I think it would be much less annoying if the posts were lj-cut by default. On the other hand, I suspect that it's a flash in the pan thing, and will be passé by Wednesday.

I HATE the new spam feature!

[madripoor-rose.livejournal.com]

It's a shiny new toy. Everyone's going to play with it once and forget about it. Meanwhile the threads of features people have asked for and things that need to be fixed are several pages long.

I'm often amazed at the lame features LJ trots out for us, while we're still waiting, seven years on, for the promised "they're coming soon, really!" things like stats and referral logs.

I would have liked a "DO NOT WANT!" option, but menace works very well.

The people playing with those are annoying the everloving hell out of me.

Is *that* what that is? Good lord, I was seeing posts last night and just thought I was really tired because they didn't seem to make much sense. >_

I think if LJ is going to insist on this "feature", they should give us the option of filtering all the wretched things off our flist automatically.

I tried it on two of the settings, just out of curiosity. One was gibberish (looong gibberish), the other was an exact duplicate of an entry from about two weeks prior. I shrugged, deleted both entries, and posted something about magic instead.

It's fun to try once, but I definitely won't do it again.
