ooh, news!

i'm thinking of taking on the office of residential life (ORL, who i work for as a student leader) and pushing them to let me live with boys or by myself, since it's driving me crazy to live with girls. and these are GIRLY girls. i love many girly girls, don't get me wrong...but the assumption that we are all similar enough to live together simply because we're all female-bodied is downright stupid. i would rather live with boys, just because i think i'd be more comfortable...so i'm gonna try and get ORL to "accommodate my needs as a transgender student," as i'm gonna put it to them. you think i can do it? any input? i'm really hooked into the queer/trans communities on campus, and also into ORL, so i think i'm in a really good position to do it...as opposed to an incoming freshman trans student who wouldn't have that kind of leverage. it would be really cool to set a precedent for UCLA...y'know? i'm excited!

Important Community Information

[nilesta.livejournal.com]

Good evening. I'm Nilesta, a member of the LiveJournal Abuse Team. First, I would like to assure everyone that the community itself is not in trouble, nor is it in any danger of being suspended.

The community was brought to our attention when we received complaints of trolls in the community. As protecting communities from trolls is something best left to the maintainer of the community, with the tools at their disposal, we contacted the maintainer. He related to us that he was no longer interested in maintaining the community, and asked us to give it to someone who was.

As such, I have been made temporary maintainer of the community. I have deleted the trolling post, and banned the user from the community. I will be acting as the maintainer of the community until such time as I can find someone to replace me as the new, permanent maintainer.

I will not be changing the community, or any of it's rules in any way. I am simply here to keep out the trolls. Any changes to the community, it's rules, or it's methods of opperation will be in the hands of your new maintainer. If you are interested in the position, please continue reading...

( I'm interested in maintaining the community, what do I need to do? )

Depending upon the number of volunteers, I may hold a vote sometime in the next couple of weeks. Volunteers should comment here, and anyone interested in the direction of the community may wish to start getting to know the candidates.

Should anyone need to contact me, they can either email me at nilesta@livejournal.com, or open an abuse request, with 'Attn: Nilesta' in the subject.
