*punches LJ in the face*
1. %&*# Facebook Connect. It's not that people couldn't already have reposted comments they made on f-locked posts in your journal by copying and pasting them, but it's a deliberate act that most people, I think, have a kind of "don't break the f-lock" stricture against (at least if they want to remain on your f-list). This little "here's a box to automatically repost all your posts and comments to Facebook and/or Twitter if you want" thing makes it very easy to do so by mistake, and worse, provides a link back to the post that the comment was made in. If that post is f-locked of course X random yobbo from Facebook won't be able to read it, but a clear and obvious connection will have been made between the person whose Wall they clicked from and your journal - a connection which perhaps you wanted to obscure. If they simply had to provide this service, they should have made an option where a person could turn it off on their own journal (that is, those boxes would be disabled when people commented, even if the commenters had the feature turned on). ARGH ETA: I invite you to express your displeasure - vociferously, if necessary.
2. Much more immediately annoying, on this journal anyway and probably for 90% of fandom, is that they've somehow managed to bork tags which have slashes in them - you know, like http://shyfoxling.livejournal.com/tag/severus/sirius. (Well, inconsistently bork, it seems; sometimes the slash is getting replaced with %2F and it breaks, sometimes it isn't getting replaced and it breaks, and sometimes it appears to work normally. But a bunch of people are complaining about it on the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
news post and I've observed it myself.) ETA: Apparently this was unintentional and is being worked on.
