Make sure you don't miss any smut: LJ settings changes

Dec 03, 2007 11:46

By now we've all heard about the silly LJ flagging system/voluntary labeling of journals, yes? You also heard me mention in a previous post that LJ has set our journals to filter adult content by defaultConfused about how to change it? Annoyed that you have to keep verifying your age? Here's a handy basic visual tutorial explaining what you need to ( Read more... )

No wonder LJ keeps making me verify that Yes I Am Still Over 14 Just Like The Last 20 Times It Asked Me. >:|

Thanks for posting this.

You're welcome. Oh, and did I mention how much I laughed at that icon? "We won't let him play in *any* reindeer games, will we fellas?"

Haha, thanks. I love it so much I may use it till Easter.

*points to icon* LJ make Lee mad!!!

I do not have a paid accound and I have my home page set up with the toolbar on the left side of the page. I had to go into 'Manage Accounts' and then 'Viewing Options' to find the adult content options. How irritating is this?! GAH!

Thanks for this, Rhymey.

It was driving me crazy...kept collapsing damn near everything no matter how many times I set it to "do not collapse"...finally realized that, apparently, when I set my account up, I never entered my birth year. I think it's fixed now. Grrrr.

I've marked my own journal as "Adult Concepts" or whatever the hell it is, even though it's f-locked anyway.

What do you think's gonna happen, now that 6A is unloading LJ? You think it's gonna be better or worse?

From that post I read the company taking over, SUP (which I say in my head every time I see it and laugh), is huge in Russia and their LJland is second only to the US. I worry though, about whether or not they will rule with a gentle hand or iron fist.

Alas, I'm paid through 2009, but that won't keep me from jumping ship if rules and regulations here go the way of Soviet Russia.

I guess thank you, I followed your instructions and if I get beat up I'll blame you. I just don't understand all this adult content, shit! Don't I have enough things fucked up in my life already????

rhymephile December 4 2007, 14:07:26 UTC

Oooooh, your comment was filled with adult content!!!! Neener. I'm taking it all in stride. Frankly, I don't really care about the new flagging system. It's stupid and I won't use it.

Thanks for the tutorial, Rhyme. I'll fix this tomorrow, when I'm less tired.
I thought I was free from censorship, after fascism was overthrown in my country, in 1974, and here it is again.

Yeah, it's scary, isn't it? I don't like the direction this flagging is taking. It's too easy to abuse the system, and it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong all of a sudden. I hate it.
