Adult content warnings should respect existing cut tags

Title
Adult content warnings should respect existing cut tags

Short, concise description of the idea
Posts which already have a cut tag should not be completely hidden if they are marked as having adult concepts or content; instead, they should be rendered as normal, with the warning page appearing between the cut and the full post.

I really like this idea.

To reduce the possibility for abuse, if something was not previously flagged as adult content by the poster or the community it's in, and has to be reported and flagged by the Abuse Prevention Team, I'd say have the whole entry covered. This would unnecessarily hide content that the poster was being responsible with their lj-cuts with, but just didn't flag themselves, but would cover most abuse I could think of.

Alternately, after the adult content warning is clicked through, display the entry in its cut view first.

I think this is a sound idea.

I like Azurelunatic's idea of having the entry in its cut view form displayed after the user clicks through the warning screen.

The problem is that just because an entry that contains adult content has an LJ-cut, it does not necessarily mean that the user is using the LJ-cut to hide the adult content. What if someone has a post that has one explicit picture, and then a cut then ten other explicit pictures, because they were cutting not for explicitness, but for space reasons?

Not everyone follows the convention of using the LJ-cut to hide adult content, either because they never used it for those reasons anyway, or because they think that once they've marked their journal adult content, they don't need to worry about that cutting anymore.

Agreed. There are some communities I've been in (adult and otherwise) where the community rules allow one picture to be posted outside of a cut. For this reason I would prefer to see the cut version after clicking on the warning.

Yes, please.

I think you've missed the point that the adult tags don't exist to make things better for readers or writers... the actual market served by those tags is the market that would really prefer to have your journal banned entirely, but will (just barely) settle for making it as inconvenient for your readers as possible. Making the tags useful would defeat the purpose.
