Joining the chorus: Please don't auto-share my stuff to Facebook or Twitter or anything like that without asking me first. Reccing within LJ is fine, of course.

Could someone please buy LJ a shiny yo-yo, so they don't get bored and spend their time coming up with functions that just make things worse?

ETA 1: The Greasemonkey script will get rid of the Twitter/Facebook buttons in your own browser, but it won't stop anyone else from automatically (or by mistake) reposting your posts or comments on your posts.

ETA 2: And no tags with slashes in them work anymore. Though I suppose it's possible that Buffy/Angel, being the only acceptable canon OTP, still works.

Comments

Allow others to repost your stuff to Twitter and Facebook at will simply by clicking a little box when they comment.

Hang on. I thought it only reposted your own comment? So if me_llamo_nic had clicked the 'Twitter' box on his comment, then this would appear on his Twitter feed:

I...don't understand.
About 6 hours ago via Twitter for LiveJournal

But it wouldn't repost what you wrote, surely? Unless he cut and pasted it, but he could do that into Twitter anyway. Not that I see the point...

I haven't tried since I don't have a twitter account, but I'm assuming that yes, it would post his own comment, and a link to it (because there would be absolutely no point to it otherwise). And therefore a link to mine too.

And he can still share any post of mine with one click using that little "share" button at the top of the page.

True, but the difference is that before, you had to make an effort to post something to Twitter. You'd have to copy and paste the post with the specific intent to tweet it.

Now, you could simply be quoting a post (or comment, as I just did to yours) in your reply and then accidentally post it to Twitter just by clicking the wrong box.

Or by having it set to default and forgetting to uncheck the box if you ever want to not crosspost something.
