Friending / Access / etc policy.

ysobelThis seems like an appropriate time to post this (especially for #yuletide folks [hi, #yuletide folks!]). For DW purposes, unless otherwise specified, "friending" is any combination of access+subscription; I know the Proper Terminology is "adding to Circle" or somesuch, but friending is shorter.
So:
* Anyone can friend me at any time. If you're a random person, and feel like dropping me a comment or PM to say how you found me, please go ahead and do so.
* Anyone can de-friend me at any time, but please let me know why, if you feel comfortable doing so. A generic "I'm cleaning out my friends list" type post will work if it's a generic spring cleaning, but especially if the defriending's in response to something I did, I'd like to know.
* Despite DW's sub/access split, I usually grant both if I'm granting either, and I will generally also reciprocate friending. I am not highly discriminatory about who I give access to.
* If you want me to remove access to you (so that you can watch my public entries without being subjected to the access-locked posts), ask. I will not be offended in any way.
* If you want me to remove subscription, er, you can ask, but if I find you interesting enough you're stuck with me reading you :)

I have a number of posting filters that I use. Some of them are sekrit, but there are a few opt-in filters that I put people in only if they ask. So far, these are:
- sigma, for depression-related entries.
- family, for venting about familial wackiness and frustrations.
- wip, for posting works in progress, usually of fic; for this filter, encouragement good, critique bad.
(there are others, but I'm not actively using them.)
Opt-in-filtered entries are tagged with [filter]. If you are not included in a filter and want to be, let me know. If you are included and want out, let me know.
