Livejournal have just added commercially sponsored vgifts and themes, eg. adverts. Needless to say paid and permanent account holders will be able to see them.
Given that anyone we know is unlikely to want to send them, I don't think it's such a terrible problem. And anyone who sends an advertising "v-gift" to me can kiss goodbye to my being willing to acknowledge their existence - same as commercial viral email.
