TO ALL MEMBERS:
There has been posts by the lj team that they will be removing ALL impersonator journals. We are a ROLEPLAY community and not impersonators. I do not see this effecting any member and/r journal as long as it is stated on your user page that you are notthe person that it is for a roleplay comm.
*Mine is pretty simple: NOT THE REAL "user name here" I WILL NOT ADD YOU UNLESS YOU ARE A MEMBER OF
beyond_the_rope WRESTLING COMMUNITY!
There is no reason to panic. We are not impersonting anyone nor are we doing anything in the wrong as long as you are listed as such.
SLIGHT EDIT: Journals which exist as satire of, or to role-play as a public figure are considered allowable so long as the journal very clearly states that the journal author is not actually the person they are representing. This should be visible both in the journal’s profile and in the journal itself (either incorporated into the style or in a future dated entry). I used the aleady existing Friends only post on most and if there was not one I madea disclaimer post. These MUST be future dated though and visible at ALL time. It can not be post friends only. If you need help ask a mod to help you. This is important that it's done correctly.
One such disclaimer, which users in this situation are welcome to use, is:
"In creating this journal, the author has assumed another person's identity for the sole purpose of entertainment, without intending to obtain a benefit or to of injuring or defrauding either the person whose identity the author has assumed, nor any reader of this content."
