Occasionally, little_details is hilarious.

Question: How hard would it be to pose some Star Wars figures like they're having gay sex?

Answer: This hard.

...

Of course, sometimes it's less than hilarious. Today I discovered that a post made several months ago was collecting anonymous comments from people who wanted advice on how to commit suicide.

When I contacted LJ Abuse about it to see if there was anything that they could do, not only did they say no, they suggested that I go ahead and delete the post because it was against the terms of service; otherwise, they could suspend "it."

(What does "it" mean? The account that posted the entry? The community?)

little_details is a community for asking about fictional situations, and the original poster did say that they wanted to know for a story. Of course, people can lie, but if it doesn't matter whether they say it's for a fictional situation, then little_details is at risk--either from being suspended, or from having restrictions put on it that make it less useful.

I replied asking for clarification and haven't heard back yet.

I keep meaning to post and ask "how much blood does the human body contain, and how much more would that average for people who are usually around six and a half feet tall?"

That still scares the willies out of me, the request for life-ending insulin advice. D:

You should ask! Such a thing wouldn't even register on the creepiness or grossness scale. I just tagged a post that was about how to rip off someone's jawbone without tools, for example.

I think I'm going to start asking people to friends-lock posts like that, so people won't find them through Google. But first, I have to hear back from LJ Abuse, I guess.

Can I post anonymously? Because I really really do not want another LJ account. BAD MEMORIES. ... how DO you rip off someone's jawbone without tools? Without being Samson?

That's probably wise. Do people really Google for "suicide advice"? Brrr. Waugh.

If you don't want it under your name, why don't you email it to me at my gmail address, and I'll post it for you?

Suicide? There's and A.S.H. methods file for that.

I've been contemplating asking about chest wounds for oh, four years now, but the trouble is I'm pretty sure I'd never write the fic, and I get embarrassed about asking advice for fanfic. :(
