It has come to my attention that the Dreamwidth mirror of

playlikeagirl has not been properly blocking search engines. There hasn't been a breach yet, but I now know there is the potential for one. Because some of the links are of a more sensitive nature (NCAA or other minor athletes) I have taken immediate steps towards rectifying the situation. I will be making further changes in the upcoming week with regards to past issues, and I will be compiling future issues differently. Changes will affect both the InsaneJournal and Dreamwidth versions, and it's possible that I will make changes to the Dreamwidth mirror altogether.

I apologize to any members of f/f sports that feel compromised, and I apologize to any members that think I'm overreacting. I would really rather avoid a need for lockdown, if at all possible. Been there, done that, remember OSU, respect the wishes of what few active writers we have left.
