The Russian LJ Abuse Conspiracy

Round One

In April 2005, was suspended from [[LiveJournal]] for posting artsy kiddie [[porn]] pictures. A bunch of Bolsheviks posted the same pictures as a show of (what else from a bunch of [[communist]]s?) solidarity, and were all promptly [[ban]]ned, which led [[Russia]]n [[crazy]] to follow in the footsteps of all good revolutionaries by http://www.livejournal.com/community/abuse_lj_abuse/48922.html" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">making a post in .

When said post failed to achieve the results that Russian crazies somehow think abuse_lj_abuse will bring about, another Russian crazy made a (sadly now deleted) post in the form of a petition seeking the reinstatement of the Russian [[pedophile|pedos]] to which [[over 9000|approximately nine million]] Russians promptly posted "Agree".

It was then that [[Elgorgo]] uncovered http://www.livejournal.com/community/abuse_lj_abuse/54162.html" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the first evidence of the Russian plot to destroy [[LiveJournal]] and perhaps even life as we know it.

In the end, the Russians succeeded in bringing about change: like a good Klan rally, abuse_lj_abuse is now an http://www.livejournal.com/community/abuse_lj_abuse/54522.html" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">English only zone, meaning that crazy Russians can succeed where Pat Buchanon has failed.

Round Two

Sometime [[last Thursday]], [[LJ Abuse]] allegedly suspended a series of [[journal]]s from [[Russia]]. With Russians being a large contingent of LJ [[user]]s, many got very upset, and people began speaking out about Russia, as a country, [[Deleting your LiveJournal|leaving LiveJournal forever]].

It started in mid-June, with a http://www.livejournal.com/community/abuse_lj_abuse/56578.html" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">post in

, where the Russian spokes[[communist]] said LJ was important for free Russian expression. This started a chain reaction of posts and bad Yakov Smirnov jokes:

* http://www.livejournal.com/community/abuse_lj_abuse/57102.html" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A post about a "Russian [[Nazi]] organization."
* http://www.livejournal.com/community/abuse_lj_abuse/57676.html" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A plea for help similar to the original post, with three times the [[troll]]ing.
* http://www.livejournal.com/community/abuse_lj_abuse/58276.html" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A threat to attack LJ.
* http://www.livejournal.com/community/abuse_lj_abuse/58495.html" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Another (probably fake) mass exodus threat.
* http://www.livejournal.com/community/abuse_lj_abuse/58751.html" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">"On Abuse Team, or Facing the Era of Total Alienation. It's [[tl;dr]], so [[YMMV]].
* http://www.livejournal.com/community/abuse_lj_abuse/59301.html" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The "sausage effect." This post was deleted by the moderators.
* http://www.livejournal.com/community/abuse_lj_abuse/59863.html" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elgorgo's post, seeking a Russian mail-order [[BDSM|B&D]] and [[D&D]] partner. This post was deleted by the moderators.

Round Three

The conspiracy theorists were abruptly proven right, some two and a half years later, when Russia [[The Great LiveJournal Buyout of 2007|arrested LJ and sent it to the gulag]]. Unfortunately, they've all either [[Deleting your LiveJournal|gone elsewhere]] or been banned, and can no longer defend us against the Cossacks.
