Here's a question for you, based on the one I just put to Mark: if the
maintainers of a community to which you belong posted an announcement to tell
folks (or even PM'd every member to let them know) that the community was
moving and/or crossposting to Dreamwidth, and you were given a month to either
remove your content or flag it in some way that let the community maintainer
know that you did *not* want it imported to Dreamwidth (even if that were by
answering a poll), would that be sufficient control for your comfort level?
I understand people not wanting to have their content snurched without their
knowledge and posted elsewhere without their consent, but if you knew about an
importation plan in advance and could make it so your material wasn't going to
make the transition to the new site, would that work?
I'm assuming here that in general it would have to be an all-or-nothing
proposition, for the sake of the sanity of maintainers. I can't imagine a
community with membership in the four-figure range where individual members
wanted to be able to cherry-pick which posts did and didn't make the move.
Thanks,
