Oh, *facepalm*, LJ

If you moderate an LJ community, you may wish to go check your settings - http://www.livejournal.com/community/manage.bml - click on the Settings link, and then look at its moderation settings. This morning I got a moderated-submission notice for a community that has never been moderated, and discovered that it was set to hold submissions with "non-whitelisted" links in them. Looking at a couple of the other communities I moderate, it looks like they made this change to a number of communities that used to be unmoderated, so you may wish to check yours and, if necessary, switch it back.

(... HONESTLY. I get that they are trying to stem the tide of spam - and I noticed that the "report as spam" link has come back when you delete a comment; it was gone for a while - but I don't appreciate having my settings messed with behind my back!)

Thanks for this! I would never have noticed otherwise!
