I really don't see the effectiveness of the "adult content" flag is someone who's not logged in can simply click on the "yes I'm over 14" button and see the post anyway. I suppose it makes it easier for the people who truly want to avoid such content, but otherwise I think it would attract pre-teens more than deter them.

Has LJ ever made sense on this issue?

I think it's more covering themselves, if anything. So if the "save the children" crusaders keep on them, they can say, "Well we do have measures..."

The potential for abuse is huge, though. And if a bunch of people flag something, does the poster know it's been changed to "adult content"? Are people supposed to go through their whole journals to update posts that might be questionable? I'm not reading all of lj_biz to find out.

I'm assuming you'd be notified, or else that would be *really* stupid. But this is LJ, so who knows. At least it takes multiple people flagging before anything happens, or else I can see one crazy zealot going around flagging anything the least bit objectionable.

hahaha...I can picture that.
