Cross-poster (again)

[vampwillow]

When using the cross-poster, if you select Disable comments on crossposts made to other sites on you accounts page a message "This entry was originally posted at http://xxxxx.dreamwidth.org/0000.html. Please comment there using OpenID.", clearly indicating it was cross-posted.

If you don't disable comments at the receiver end though there is no indication that it was cross-posted at all.

I'm not sure if this is a missing feature (_option_ to include "This entry was originally posted at http://xxxxx.dreamwidth.org/0000.html") or a needed clarification on the accounts page.

Personally I'd like the fact it was cross-posted to be automatically included, but I can see not everyone might.

Thoughts?

Comments

it might be nice to have the option of stamping an entry 'cross posted' regardless of comment status, but I can see strong social arguments against making it mandatory (mostly that it will piss people off for no good reason to have it there, and DW users may choose not to do that to their friends on other services)

Yeah, exactly. I've already got a couple people at LJ who think I'm a snobby elitist for having a DW at all, and a couple more who are tired of hearing everyone on their friends list talk about how awesome DW is, and I don't want to annoy them by giving them another reminder.

(They'll come around eventually. ;))
