semperfionaAfter LJ's big announcement of their new content-flagging scheme, I changed my journal settings to "Adult Concepts". I don't do explicit images, and any explicit or graphic text is way back in the archives, but I reserve my right to post such in the future, and to use such expletives as strike my fancy.
Yesterday, I wanted to read my syndicated feeds, but I didn't bother to log in. I've put them in a public filter for just that reason. Imagine my surprise when LJ popped up a warning box to make me verify that I'm over 14 years old. Explain to me why my friends page (or a filter thereof) should be flagged the same as my journal itself? Aren't these flags supposed to be journal-specific? I would have expected to see any or all of the feeds that weren't themselves flagged as adult. Same should apply to any public friends view.
I'm now expecting to have my journal disappear behind the company firewall as "adult content" due to the damned flagging, and am wondering whether to change the setting to avoid it. I do also have it set to "no searching", which may or may not also make a difference.
Grrr.
