This one make me cringe.

http://community.livejournal.com/lj_biz/241884.html?thread=12445148#t12445148 - LJ's been considering mandatory ratings for posts.

I really don't want to have to mark posts as "R" for all my swearing, especially if it's a private "note to self" post -.-

They're into that stuff these days!

that's just what i was afraid of...

the MPAA system is hard enough to apply to the medium for which it's intended. i can only imagine the bickering if a system with those ratings were actually going to be enforced here.

[aura218]

It would be a mess. This is prolly why it's not been enstated.

[scryren]

The MPAA would sic lawyers on LJ before it was even out of beta testing =P

Now with correct spelling. I'm really going to bed this time. I'm sure the LJ staff will still be digging their graves in the morning

[aura218]

:D Good night.

LJ has enough problems with the search draining resources, add that and the coding, it's probably not worth their time.

[aura218]

Unless they force you to do it yourself, and boot you if you don't ...

Just sayin... Anyway, coffeegirl said it's been discussed for a while, so maybe it's not been implimented for a reason.

[kudra2324]

there must be some way for us to make all of the fandom-quashing stuff so exceedingly boring and time-consuming that no one wants to do it.

[aura218]

:D Excellent

[kudra2324]

creative suggestions are welcome.

Hmmm ... well, ther'es backdating a porn post in a comm like pornish pixies, and some offsite way for members to locate it. A code, like. Not foolproof, but it could help.
