Ganked from bzarcher and daemi0n:

All the writings in this journal not previously copyrighted by others are copyright by me; I specifically deny permission for the content of this journal to be published, copied, or re-posted elsewhere without my specific written permission to the contrary.

This includes "frienditto". If you are part of this service or any other like it and are on my friends-list, please tell me and I will lock the friends-only portion of this journal, or I will defriend you, at my sole option. If you do not tell me and I find that you are part of this service or any other like it, I will defriend you.

Although I don't think I have that much to hide from online people, I'm offended by the notion of Frienditto (although I do, in a fairly hypocritical move, occasionally follow screencaps and pagesaves as shown at LJDrama and Fandom Wank). That it caused pennyproud to effectively shut down her journal out of concern is upsetting on its own.

I trust the lot on my friends list to not be so petty as to post my private life online any more than I already do, and I suppose if anything does happen, it's my own damn fault for not being a good judge of character. This falls solely in the "I gotta cover my ass" category of posts.

I wasn't aware that was a problem, but ok....

Looks like the duping site went down, anyway...

It's still there. You'd have to be a right moron to do it though. You're releasing your username AND password to a third party.

Is it okay if I borrow the copyright statement? ^_^ I like the wording, particularly of the first paragraph.

And I can understand the general worry about Frienditto, although one of the original rules of thumb for life on the Internet was/is, "Never post or e-mail anything you wouldn't want published for the whole world to see" (or words to similar effect). I still tend to work by that principle - I've got maybe one private LJ post, locked to my friends merely because I didn't want my parents potentially seeing it.

It's an all-purpose, copy/paste statement that, again, was ganked from the two LJ users above--go ahead and use it.

I generally agree with your comment about "never post or e-mail anything you wouldn't want published for the whole world to see." However, I believe that friendslocking items is more along the lines of a "membership service," in which you grant or deny access to people.

There's a reason I friendslock most of my posts, and that's because I only really talk about my personal life with people I trust to not disseminate every word I say to the next person. A friendslock is the online version of, "this doesn't leave the room; you got it, guys?"

As I said, I'll have but myself to answer to if I ever, ever discover that things I flocked get posted out in public, because it means I wasn't the judge of character I trusted myself to be. I trust you guys enough to think that nobody on my flist would ever stoop so low as to do something like that out of malice. Not that any of my posts are really that exciting or juicy to begin with.
