I believe the community linked is still engaging in custom-layouts that effectively block ads, although iirc such things are technically breaches of service.
The crap you refer to was a witchhunt and journal banning by the lj-authorities, on the behest of some white supremicists (of all people), against fan-fiction (amateur sf, fantasy etc) which included sexual content which incorporated under-18s.
I saw a couple of epic lists of famous literature which includes such material (including the Bible of course) which were rather pointed in their comments. A couple of law enforcement agents had some rather unkind comments to say as well.
