I'm sort of hoping, with the journal magic being so difficult to pin down, that Pansy is mistaken about knowing how to block entries.
I suspect she was not truthful in implying that she blocks posts. Draco, on the other hand, was serious, so I hope you're right that the journal magic will still let posts slide through (or push through in the case of Grim Truth entries).
Speaking of the journal's mysterious magic, Arthur's comment also made me wonder whether the Order Only spell might wane in strength over time. (We've had no indications that this will be the case, but it would be an interesting and threatening twist if it did begin to fade at some future point. What if, after a year or so, the earliest Order Only posts began to appear in non-Order journals. No one would see them unless they went back to look at a post from an earlier time and then browsed what other people were writing in that long-ago moment -- or if there turned out to be Order-only comments on a post of their own. Imagine if, a year from now, Lucius were to look back at some of those posts where Arthur and Molly call him names behind the Order-lock!)
