The one where I offer no comment.

You've heard, I'm sure, that LJ has removed the strikethrough on suspended journals and stopped them from showing up on your default user page. Conveniently, they've made these changes at about the same time as they've once again started suspending members of fandom, such as ponderosa121 and elaboration, without warning or official comment.

And now they are suspending artists who have NOT drawn underage smut.

(Thanks to vejiita4eva for the heads up on that last one.)

ETA:

The standard for artistic merit is not whether a work simply has technical merit; it is whether there is serious artistic value that offsets the sexual nature of the content. A group consisting of members of LiveJournal's Abuse Prevention Team, LiveJournal employees, and Six Apart staff reviewed the content that was reported to us. This group decides whether material potentially in violation of this policy warrants consideration for serious artistic value. In this case, they clearly did not see serious artistic value in content that simply displayed graphic sexual acts involving minors.

Add that to the fact that they are going to be adding a "report abuse" button to all posts from now on...

From here.
